What is the fuel tank capacity of the Hyundai Santa Fe in liters?
2 Answers
There are 8 models of the Hyundai Santa Fe, all with a fuel tank capacity of 71 liters. The vehicle is equipped with a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine and an 8-speed automatic transmission across all models. The drive configurations include front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive. Among vehicles in the same class, the 2022 Haval H9 has a fuel tank capacity of 80 liters, the 2022 Tiguan L has a 60-liter tank, and the 2022 Tayron also features a 60-liter tank. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel filled may exceed the nominal capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity specified by the manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safety level, with additional space left between the safety level and the tank opening. This space ensures that the fuel can expand when temperatures rise without overflowing. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount may exceed the nominal capacity. To check the remaining fuel level, drivers can observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the instrument panel, marked with 'E' and 'F'. When the needle is near 'E', it indicates low fuel, while proximity to 'F' means the tank is nearly full.
The Hyundai Santa Fe typically has a fuel tank capacity of around 70 liters. I find this quite practical when driving, as a full tank can last approximately 600 to 800 kilometers, depending on road conditions and driving habits. Fuel consumption is lower on highways, while daily city commuting averages about 11 liters per 100 kilometers, reducing the frequency of refueling and saving both money and hassle. On a recent road trip with friends, the infrequent need to stop for fuel made the journey feel more liberating. It's advisable to pay attention to fuel quality when refueling—avoiding low-grade fuel helps prolong engine life. Overall, the fuel tank design of this SUV is very family- and travel-friendly.
