What is the fuel tank capacity of the Hongqi H5?
2 Answers
The fuel tank capacity of the Hongqi H5 is 55 liters, which is the officially announced data. Owners who have purchased the Hongqi H5 can also check this information on the vehicle's configuration sheet. The recommended fuel grade for the Hongqi H5 is 95 octane, with a fuel consumption of 6.2 to 6.4L per 100 kilometers. A full tank of fuel can cover a distance of 859 to 887 kilometers. During daily driving, it is necessary to pay attention to the remaining fuel level in the tank. The fuel level 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. It is advisable to refuel when there are about 2 segments left to avoid running out of fuel midway. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel added 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 safe limit. There is additional space from the safe limit to the tank opening, which is designed to allow for fuel expansion due to temperature increases without causing overflow. If fuel is added up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the marked tank capacity.
I've taken the Hongqi H5 on several long-distance trips before, and its fuel tank size is quite practical, with a capacity of around 58 liters. Like that time I drove from Guangzhou to Changsha, it made the journey much easier without constantly worrying about gas stations. A full tank can get you about 700 to 800 kilometers, depending on how you drive—maintaining a steady speed on the highway helps save fuel. I recommend new car owners learn to plan their trips, like using mobile apps to check gas station locations to avoid emergencies on the road. Also, the Hongqi H5's fuel tank design makes it fuel-efficient for city driving too—just one refill a week for commuting saves both money and hassle. Just remember to use 92-octane fuel and never compromise with low-quality gas that could damage the engine.
