What is the fuel tank capacity of the Honda XRV?
2 Answers
Honda XRV has a fuel tank capacity of 50 liters, which is the officially announced data. The fuel grade for Honda XRV is 92, with a fuel consumption of 6.0 to 6.3L per 100 kilometers. A full tank can run for 794 to 833 kilometers. During daily driving, it is necessary to pay attention to the remaining fuel level in the tank at all times. Generally, the fuel level is observed through the fuel gauge inside the car. If there are no other issues, the fuel level will be accurately reflected on the gauge. The fuel gauge on the dashboard usually has 5 to 6 segments. It is recommended to refuel when there are 2 segments left to avoid running out of fuel midway. During the actual refueling process, the amount of fuel may exceed the calibrated capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity marked by the car manufacturer is from the bottom of the tank to the safe limit, and there is still some space from the safe limit to the tank opening. This space is designed to ensure that the fuel inside the tank can expand when the temperature rises without overflowing the safe space of the tank. If the fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual refueling amount may be larger than the calibrated fuel tank capacity.
As a Honda XR-V owner for three years, the 50-liter fuel tank capacity is quite practical. My daily urban commuting fuel consumption is about 10 liters per 100 kilometers, and a full tank can last around 500 kilometers. Driving five days a week means I only need to refuel about once every ten days. On weekends, I often take my family to the suburbs, where the lower fuel consumption makes round trips effortless. Compared to my friends' cars, 50 liters isn't very large, but it's suitable for a compact SUV, avoiding extra weight that could affect handling. On long highway trips, the range is stable, and even with the air conditioning on full, it can last over 400 kilometers. The key is developing the habit of refueling when the tank is half empty to avoid overheating and damaging the fuel pump, saving on repair costs and providing peace of mind.
