What is the fuel tank capacity of the Elantra?
2 Answers
The 2020 Elantra models all have a fuel tank capacity of 50L. All models are equipped with a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission (AT), and feature front-wheel drive. In the same class, the 2022 Elantra has a fuel tank capacity of 47 liters, the 2022 Cruze has a capacity of 44 liters, and the 2021 Escort has a capacity of 50 liters. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the calibrated capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity specified by the car manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safety limit. There is additional space from the safety limit to the tank opening, which is designed to allow for fuel expansion due to temperature increases without causing overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the calibrated tank capacity. To check the remaining fuel level, drivers can observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the instrument panel, marked with E and F. When the needle is near E, it indicates low fuel, while nearing F indicates sufficient fuel.
I remember the Hyundai Elantra has a fuel tank capacity of around 50 liters. Having driven this car before, I found this capacity to be average among compact cars - a full tank of 92-octane gasoline can typically cover about 600 kilometers. For my daily commute, I usually only need to refuel every ten days. A reminder to everyone: don't wait until the fuel warning light comes on to refuel, as the fuel pump relies on gasoline for cooling and too low fuel levels can cause damage. Also, there might be slight variations between different model years - I checked the manual and the 2018 model does indeed have a 50-liter tank. When refueling, don't force extra fuel after the pump automatically stops, as fuel tanks have designed safety margins. Overfilling can actually damage the carbon canister.
