What is the fuel tank capacity of the Kia Sportage?
1 Answers
The Sportage is a compact SUV under the Kia brand, with a fuel tank capacity of 55 liters. This vehicle is equipped with two types of engines: one is a 1.4-liter turbocharged engine, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission; the other is a 2.0-liter naturally aspirated engine, matched with either a 6-speed manual transmission or a 6-speed automatic transmission. All models of this vehicle feature front-wheel drive. Among vehicles in the same class, the Tang-2021-2.0T-Automatic Flagship model has a fuel tank capacity of 68 liters, while the Sportage-2021-Ace-2.0L-Exploration Edition has a fuel tank capacity of 58 liters. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the calibrated capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity marked by car manufacturers is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safety limit, and there is additional space from the safety limit to the tank opening. This space ensures that the fuel can expand when temperatures rise without overflowing from the tank. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the marked tank capacity. If owners want to know the remaining fuel level, they can observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the instrument panel, which is marked with E and F. When the pointer is near E, it indicates that the fuel is almost empty, and when it is close to F, it means the fuel level is sufficient.
