What is the fuel tank capacity of the DS6 in liters?

DS6 has only 1 model with a fuel tank capacity of 60 liters. The vehicle is equipped with a 1.6T turbocharged engine and all models come with a 6-speed automatic transmission (AT). Among vehicles in the same class, the Haval H9-2022 has a fuel tank capacity of 80 liters, while the Tiguan L 2022 has a fuel tank capacity of 60 liters. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the calibrated capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity marked by automobile manufacturers is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safety level, and there is still some space from the safety level to the tank opening. This space is reserved to allow for fuel expansion when temperature rises, preventing overflow from the tank. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual refueling amount may be greater than the calibrated fuel tank capacity. If owners want to know the remaining fuel quantity, they can observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the dashboard, which is marked with E and F. When the pointer is close to E, it indicates that the fuel is almost empty, and when it is close to F, it indicates sufficient fuel.
The DS6 has a standard fuel tank capacity of 60 liters, which is a moderate design among SUVs in its class. When fully fueled, it can easily cover over 700 kilometers on long-distance trips. Having driven this car several times, I find that for daily commuting, refueling once a week is sufficient, with an average fuel consumption of about 8 liters per 100 kilometers, making it quite fuel-efficient. Remember not to wait until the fuel light comes on to refuel, as this can cause the fuel pump to overheat and get damaged. It's best to keep the fuel level above a quarter. Additionally, the fuel tank is made of rust-resistant metal, offering strong durability to prevent deformation or leaks on rough roads. Personally, I recommend using 95-octane gasoline for better efficiency, and avoid the temptation to install a larger fuel tank, as the added weight would reduce fuel economy. Overall, the design balances safety and practicality very well.
As a DS6 owner, the 60-liter fuel tank is really practical. I usually fill it up for my daily commute and it lasts more than a week, so I don't have to worry about frequent gas station visits. The fuel consumption is well controlled, and it's even more fuel-efficient on highways. In actual tests, a full tank can easily cover 750 kilometers. It's especially convenient during trips, and you don't have to worry about running out of fuel even in poor road conditions. Compared to other SUVs like the Highlander with its 70-plus-liter tank, the DS6's tank size is just right—practical without being bulky. From personal experience, I recommend avoiding 92-octane fuel as it tends to cause carbon buildup. Also, regularly check the fuel tank sealing ring during maintenance to prevent leaks and extend its lifespan. Paying attention to these small details makes driving worry-free and safe.
