What is the fuel tank capacity of the Honda XR-V in liters?
3 Answers
Honda XR-V 2022 offers two models, both with a fuel tank capacity of 50 liters. The vehicles are equipped with a continuously variable transmission (CVT) and feature front-engine, front-wheel-drive configuration. Among vehicles in the same class, the Beijing Hyundai ix35 2021 has a fuel tank capacity of 58 liters, the Kia Sportage 2021 also has a 58-liter fuel tank, and the Toyota C-HR 2021 comes with a 50-liter fuel tank. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the nominal capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity specified by automakers is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safety limit. There is additional space between the safety limit and the tank opening, which serves as a safety buffer to accommodate fuel expansion when temperatures rise, preventing overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the nominal 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 (Empty) and F (Full). When the needle approaches E, it indicates low fuel, while nearing F means the tank is nearly full.
I have driven the Honda XRV for a long time and remember its fuel tank capacity is around 50 liters. This is particularly practical for my daily city driving; each full tank averages 8 liters per 100 kilometers, allowing me to drive about 600 kilometers, reducing the number of weekly gas station visits and saving both money and hassle. Over long-term use, I found that fuel tank size directly impacts convenience: fuel consumption is higher in city traffic jams, but the XRV's design paired with its small tank works efficiently; during long-distance trips, the range is stable, making it easier to plan gas station stops and avoid risks. As an owner, I recommend regularly checking the fuel tank cap seal to prevent evaporation and fuel waste; overall, the 50-liter size balances economy and practicality, making it very suitable for an entry-level SUV.
From a technical perspective, the Honda XRV fuel tank has an official capacity of 50 or 53 liters depending on the configuration. The tank is made of lightweight, corrosion-resistant plastic material. With an average fuel consumption of 8L/100km, the theoretical range reaches 625 kilometers. In actual driving tests, urban road conditions increase fuel consumption to 9L, reducing the range to 550 kilometers. The fuel tank is positioned beneath the chassis to save space, but requires maintenance of the fuel pump to prevent overheating issues. Compared to other SUVs like the CRV with its 60-liter tank, the XRV is more fuel-efficient. It's recommended to check the configuration manual before purchasing a new vehicle and to clean the fuel system during maintenance to maintain efficiency. This tank capacity, combined with the efficient engine, ensures reliable performance for several years without major issues.
