What is the fuel tank capacity of the Jetta VA3 in liters?
2 Answers
The fuel tank capacity of the Jetta VA3 is 52.8 liters, which is the officially announced data. Owners who have purchased the Jetta VA3 can also check this information on the vehicle's configuration sheet. The Jetta VA3 requires 92-octane fuel, with a fuel consumption of 5.6-5.7L per 100 kilometers. A full tank can provide a driving range of 926-942 kilometers. During daily driving, it is necessary to always pay attention to the remaining fuel level in the tank. This 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, and it is advisable to refuel when there are only 2 segments left to avoid running out of fuel midway. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the calibrated capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity specified by the automaker is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safe fill level, and there is additional space from the safe fill level to the tank opening. This space ensures that the fuel can expand when temperatures rise without overflowing the tank. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the calibrated tank capacity.
I've been driving the Jetta VA3 to commute, and its 50-liter fuel tank is truly suitable for daily use. For my daily 50-kilometer city driving, the average fuel consumption is around 7 liters per 100 kilometers. A full tank can last about 700 kilometers, meaning I only need to refuel once or twice a week. It's even more convenient for long-distance trips—a full tank can easily handle cross-province travel without worry. I have a good habit of refueling early, never waiting until the warning light comes on, which helps protect the fuel pump from damage. I recommend new drivers develop this habit too; maintaining stable fuel consumption and simple upkeep makes the car more reliable and cost-effective in the long run. The tank size strikes a perfect balance between weight and range, avoiding unnecessary overload that could reduce performance.
