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

The fuel tank capacity of the Elantra is 47L, as officially announced. Owners who have purchased the Elantra can also check this information on the vehicle's configuration sheet. The Elantra uses 92-octane fuel, with a fuel consumption of 5.2-5.4L per 100 kilometers. A full tank can cover a distance of 870-903km. During daily driving, it is essential to monitor the remaining fuel in the tank. This is typically done by observing the fuel gauge inside the vehicle. If there are no other issues, the fuel level will be accurately reflected on the gauge. The fuel gauge usually has 5 to 6 segments, and it is advisable to refuel when only 2 segments remain to avoid running out of fuel midway. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the marked capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity marked by the 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 marked tank capacity.
I've been driving the Elantra for a while now, and its fuel tank capacity is about 50 liters, which is quite practical in real-world use. For instance, a full tank can get me around 500 kilometers in city driving, and even more on long trips, saving me the hassle of frequent refueling. The size of the fuel tank significantly impacts the range. I remember my average fuel consumption is about 6-7 liters per 100 kilometers, so it's quite worry-free to drive. Also, there might be slight variations between different model years, like the older versions having 45 liters and the newer ones 50 liters, but overall, it's sufficient for daily commuting. If you're considering buying a used car, checking the condition of the fuel tank is also important.
I reckon the Elantra's fuel tank should be around 50 liters. Just one fill-up on a weekend joyride can keep me going for most of the day. It easily covers over 500 kilometers on a single tank, depending on driving habits. If I push it harder, fuel consumption goes up, but driving gently makes it quite efficient. This capacity is super convenient for young people—less time spent hunting for gas stations means more time enjoying the journey. Definitely more hassle-free than those tiny fuel tanks in compact cars.
