What is the fuel tank capacity of the Lavida in liters?
2 Answers
2022 Lavida has a total of 7 available models, all with a fuel tank capacity of 51 liters. In the same vehicle class, the 2022 Civic 180TURBO CVT Shangdong Edition has a fuel tank capacity of 47 liters. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the calibrated volume. This is because the fuel tank capacity specified by the automaker is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safe fill limit. There is additional space from the safe fill limit to the tank opening, which serves as a safety buffer to accommodate fuel expansion when temperatures rise, preventing overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual refueled amount may exceed the calibrated tank capacity. To check the remaining fuel level, drivers can observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the instrument panel, marked with 'E' and 'F'. When the needle approaches 'E', it indicates low fuel, while nearing 'F' signifies sufficient fuel.
I just checked the official Volkswagen website data, and the fuel tank design of the current new Lavida is quite practical. For example, the main models of the 2023 version all have a 51-liter capacity. On highways, this compact sedan can run over 600 kilometers on a full tank. However, it's worth noting that the older 1.5L naturally aspirated version has a 52.8-liter variant. If you're driving a pre-2019 model, you might need to check the specific configuration. When refueling, don't wait until the warning light comes on. Sediment at the bottom of the tank can easily clog the fuel pump, so I recommend preparing to refuel when there's about a quarter left.
