What is the fuel tank capacity of the Ford Kuga in liters?
2 Answers
The Ford Kuga has a total of 6 models, all with a fuel tank capacity of 60 liters. The vehicle is equipped with either a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine or a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, and all models come with a 6-speed automatic transmission. In terms of drivetrain, except for the 4WD Luxury Wing, 4WD Premium Wing, and 4WD Sport models, which feature front-engine four-wheel drive, the rest are front-engine front-wheel drive. Among vehicles in the same class, the Kodiaq has a fuel tank capacity of 60 liters, while the Escape has a fuel tank capacity of 63 liters. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the marked capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity specified by the automaker is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safe fill level, and there is additional space from the safe fill level to the tank opening. This space ensures that the fuel inside the tank can expand when temperatures rise without overflowing. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the marked tank capacity. To check the remaining fuel level, drivers can observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the instrument panel, which is marked with E and F. When the needle is close to E, it indicates low fuel, and when it is near F, it means the fuel level is sufficient.
I've been driving a Ford Kuga for several years, and the fuel tank capacity is usually around 65 liters. For different model years, the newer versions might go up to 70 liters, while older ones are about 60 liters. This size is quite suitable for a compact SUV, allowing me to drive over 600 kilometers in the city or on highways without frequent refueling. Fuel tank capacity affects range; with an average fuel consumption of 8L/100km, a 65-liter tank can cover more than 800km, but in actual driving, aggressive acceleration or using air conditioning can reduce mileage. I recommend checking the owner's manual or the label on the fuel tank cap for the exact value, rather than relying on online claims. Usually, I fill up to 80% to protect the fuel pump. If the fuel light comes on, don’t delay refueling to avoid trouble on the road—this is a hassle-free tip from experience.
