What is the fuel tank capacity of the Jaguar XEL?
2 Answers
The fuel tank capacity of the Jaguar XEL is 62 liters, as officially announced. Owners who have purchased the Jaguar XEL can also check this information on the vehicle's configuration sheet. The recommended fuel grade for the Jaguar XEL is 95 octane, with a fuel consumption of 10L per 100 kilometers. A full tank can cover a distance of approximately 620km. During daily driving, it is essential to monitor the remaining fuel level in the tank. This is typically done by observing the fuel gauge inside the vehicle. Under normal circumstances, the fuel level will be accurately displayed on the gauge. The fuel gauge usually has 5 to 6 segments, and it is advisable to refuel when only 2 segments remain to avoid running out of fuel mid-journey. In actual refueling situations, the amount of fuel filled may exceed the marked capacity. This is because the manufacturer's specified tank capacity is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safe limit, and there is additional space from the safe limit to the tank opening. This extra space is designed to allow for fuel expansion due to temperature increases without causing overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount may exceed the marked capacity.
The Jaguar XEL has a fuel tank capacity of 52 liters. As an owner, I find this capacity quite reasonable—it's generally sufficient for a full day of highway driving without needing to stop for refueling. I always calculate my fuel consumption when filling up; in urban driving, it's approximately 9 liters per 100 kilometers, meaning a full tank can cover nearly 600 kilometers, which is ideal for weekend getaways. However, it's important to pay attention to the fuel cap's seal to prevent dust and debris from entering and affecting the fuel system. Regular maintenance checks are also crucial, such as verifying the fuel gauge's accuracy after refueling to avoid breakdowns during long trips. In fact, many luxury sedans have fuel tanks around 50 liters, and the XEL performs well in this price range.
