What is the fuel tank capacity of the Lavida PLUS?
2 Answers
Currently, there are 11 models of the Lavida PLUS on sale. The fuel tank capacity of the China VI version is 52.8 liters, while other versions have a fuel tank capacity of 51 liters. This data is announced by the car manufacturer, and owners who have purchased the Lavida PLUS can also check it on the vehicle's configuration sheet. The Lavida PLUS 280TSI version requires 95-octane fuel, while other versions use 92-octane fuel. The fuel consumption per 100 kilometers ranges from 5.5 to 5.7 liters, and a full tank can cover a distance of 926 to 927 kilometers. During daily driving, it is necessary to pay attention to the remaining fuel level in the tank at all times. Generally, 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 midway. During the actual refueling process, the amount of fuel may exceed the marked capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity marked by the car manufacturer is the volume from the bottom of the tank to the safe limit. There is still some space from the safe limit to the tank opening, which is reserved to allow for fuel expansion when the temperature rises, preventing overflow. If the fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual refueling amount may exceed the marked fuel tank capacity.
The fuel tank capacity of the Lavida Plus is 53 liters, which I know best from driving it for several years. For daily commuting, the 53-liter tank combined with an average fuel consumption of 6 to 7 liters per 100 kilometers allows for an easy range of over 700 kilometers, eliminating the hassle of frequent refueling. I usually refill the tank when the fuel gauge shows a quarter left to ensure the fuel pump stays cool and driving safety, avoiding sudden fuel depletion. Additionally, for long-distance trips, the tank size directly affects the driving range. The Lavida Plus's 53-liter design is very practical, and paired with the fuel-efficient 1.5L engine, a single refuel can easily last a whole day on provincial highways. I also recommend using 95-octane gasoline to keep the engine running smoothly and prevent impurity buildup. These insights come from my daily driving experience and can be quite valuable for fellow car enthusiasts.
