What is the fuel tank capacity of the Hongqi H9?
2 Answers
Hongqi H9 has a fuel tank capacity of 62 liters, which is the officially announced data. The fuel grade for Hongqi H9 is 95, with a fuel consumption of 7.1-9.0L per 100 kilometers. A full tank can cover a distance of 689 to 873 kilometers. During daily driving, it is necessary to always pay attention to the remaining fuel level in the tank. Usually, the fuel level is 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 on the dashboard typically has 5 to 6 segments. Generally, when there are only 2 segments left on the fuel gauge, it is time to refuel to avoid running out of fuel midway. In 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 safety limit, and there is still a certain space from the safety 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 safety space of the tank. If the fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual refueling amount may exceed the calibrated fuel tank capacity.
As an owner of the Hongqi H9, I have firsthand experience with the size of its fuel tank. The car's fuel tank capacity is approximately 80 liters, which is quite spacious among luxury sedans in its class. On long-distance drives, a full tank allows me to travel over 600 kilometers, thanks to an average fuel consumption of 12-13L/100km, making it quite worry-free. Especially for my frequent intercity trips, such as from Shanghai to Hangzhou, I rarely need to refuel midway, significantly reducing the number of stops and improving travel efficiency. Additionally, the Hongqi H9 uses 95-octane gasoline, and it's advisable to choose reputable gas stations to avoid issues. Overall, the large fuel tank design enhances driving smoothness, and combined with the comfortable interior space, it's well-suited for both family and business use. However, it's important to regularly maintain the fuel system to prevent carbon buildup.
