What is the fuel tank capacity of the Jetta VS5?
3 Answers
Jetta VS5 has a fuel tank capacity of 51 liters, which is the officially announced data. The recommended fuel grade for Jetta VS5 is 95, with a fuel consumption of 6.2-6.8L per 100 kilometers. A full tank can cover a distance of 750-823km. During daily driving, it is necessary to pay attention to the remaining fuel level in the tank at all times. Usually, the fuel level is observed through the fuel gauge inside the car. 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. It is advisable to refuel when there are only 2 segments left to avoid running out of fuel halfway. During 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 measured from the bottom of the tank to the safety limit, and there is still some space from the safety limit to the tank opening. This space is reserved to ensure that the fuel in the tank can expand when the temperature rises without overflowing the tank's safety space. If the fuel is filled to the tank opening during refueling, the actual refueling amount may exceed the calibrated fuel tank capacity.
I've been driving the Jetta VS5 for a while now, and I remember its fuel tank capacity is 51 liters, which is quite practical for a compact SUV. I often take long-distance trips, and a full tank can get me over 500 kilometers, with an average fuel consumption of about 8-9 liters per 100 kilometers, depending on road conditions. If you want to save fuel, I recommend adopting smooth driving habits, such as avoiding sudden acceleration and regularly checking tire pressure. Otherwise, even with a large capacity, excessive waste isn't worth it. When refueling, it's best to choose reliable options like Sinopec or PetroChina to avoid low-quality fuel with impurities. Don’t overlook fuel tank maintenance either—cleaning the filter screen every six months can extend the fuel pump’s lifespan. Overall, the car is thoughtfully designed and well-suited for everyday use by ordinary owners like me.
I usually drive a Jetta VS5 to commute to work. The fuel tank has a capacity of 51 liters, and a full tank can typically last for about a week of commuting. Since I travel around 50 kilometers back and forth daily, I only need to refuel twice a month, saving a lot of time and expenses. In terms of fuel costs, considering the current fuel prices, the cost per kilometer is relatively low. If you want to reduce the frequency of refueling, you can optimize your route to avoid congested areas and maintain a steady driving speed, which can improve fuel efficiency. Additionally, I’d like to remind everyone not to wait until the fuel gauge is almost empty before refueling, as this can easily damage the fuel pump. During vehicle maintenance, it’s important to check the sealing of the fuel system to avoid fuel leakage issues. The tank capacity is designed very thoughtfully, being both space-efficient and economical.
