What is the fuel tank capacity of the Grand Commander in liters?

The fuel tank capacity of the Grand Commander is 70 liters, which is the officially published data. Owners who have purchased the Grand Commander can also check this information on the vehicle's configuration sheet. The Grand Commander requires 95-octane fuel, with a fuel consumption of 8.4-8.8L per 100 kilometers. A full tank of fuel can provide a driving range of 795 to 833 kilometers. During daily driving, it is necessary to pay attention to the remaining fuel level in the tank at all times. This is usually observed through 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 typically has 5 to 6 segments, and it is advisable to refuel when there are only 2 segments left to avoid running out of fuel midway. During the actual refueling process, the amount of fuel filled may exceed the calibrated capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity marked by the manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safe limit, and there is additional space from the safe limit to the tank opening. This space is designed to allow for fuel expansion when temperatures rise, preventing overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel filled may exceed the calibrated tank capacity.
I've been driving the Grand Commander for a while now, and its 70-liter fuel tank capacity is quite impressive for a midsize SUV. With an average fuel consumption of around 10L/100km, the 70-liter tank means a range of approximately 700 kilometers, making long-distance trips very convenient. For example, a one-way trip from Shanghai to Nanjing usually doesn't require refueling. The engineers designed the fuel tank placement to prevent impacts and ensure stable handling, whether on highways or city curves. As a Jeep, it emphasizes off-road capability, and the large fuel tank supports its off-road endurance. For daily use, 95-octane gasoline is sufficient, and maintenance is straightforward—just regular checks to keep the tank clean and free of impurities. Personally, I appreciate the large fuel tank as it reduces the frequency of refueling, saving time and enhancing safety, especially in winter when fewer trips to the gas station mean less exposure to the cold.
As an average car owner, I find the Grand Commander's 70-liter fuel tank very practical. When driving this car on highways, a full tank can cover over 650 kilometers, reducing the need for frequent gas station visits. I often go on road trips; last year, driving round-trip from Guangzhou to Guangxi required only one or two refuels. Fuel consumption is slightly higher in the city, around 11L/100km, but the 70-liter capacity compensates for this. A larger fuel tank is beneficial—it avoids mid-journey fuel anxiety and allows for more luggage space. Jeep's reliability is solid, and I recommend using high-quality gasoline to enhance performance. Overall, the tank size makes driving more relaxed, even for daily commutes.
