What is the fuel tank capacity of the Kia Forte in liters?
2 Answers
The Kia Forte has a total of 8 models, all with a fuel tank capacity of 50 liters. The engines are all 1.6L naturally aspirated, paired with either a 6-speed manual transmission or a 6-speed automatic transmission. All models feature front-engine, front-wheel-drive configuration. Among vehicles in the same class, the Trumpchi GA4 2021 model has a fuel tank capacity of 46 liters, the Qoros 3 2021 model has 55 liters, and the Venucia D60 2021 model has 50 liters. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the calibrated volume. This is because the fuel tank capacity marked by automobile manufacturers is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safe fill level, with additional space remaining 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 refueling amount may exceed the calibrated tank capacity. To check the remaining fuel level, owners can observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the instrument panel, marked with E and F. When the pointer is near E, it indicates low fuel, while near F indicates sufficient fuel.
I've been driving a Kia Forte for a while now, and its fuel tank capacity is about 50 liters—not too big, not too small. Filling it up costs a few hundred RMB, and for daily commutes, the fuel consumption is roughly 8 to 10 liters per 100 kilometers, giving a range of around 500 kilometers, which is quite practical. On long highway trips, easing off the throttle can stretch the distance a bit further. Also, a quick reminder: don’t wait until the fuel warning light comes on to refuel—by then, the tank might have less than 10 liters left, which can damage the fuel pump. Always check the owner’s manual for exact specs to avoid misinformation. Overall, with a compact car like this, paying attention to tank capacity and driving habits can save a lot of hassle—just keep an eye on the dashboard alerts.
