The 2022 Malibu comes in a total of 9 models. The 2022 Malibu 535T has 3 versions, all with a fuel tank capacity of 55 liters; the 2022 Malibu 550T has 6 versions, all with a fuel tank capacity of 60 liters. The Malibu features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a multi-link rear suspension, with all models being front-wheel drive. In the same class, the 2021 K5 KaiKu 270T CVVD Fashion Edition has a fuel tank capacity of 60 liters, and the 2020 Sonata Modified 270T GDi DCT GL Leading Edition also has a fuel tank capacity of 60 liters. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the marked capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity specified by the manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safety limit, with additional space from the safety limit to the tank opening. This space ensures that the fuel can expand when temperatures rise without overflowing. If fuel is added up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount may exceed the marked capacity. To check the remaining fuel, drivers can observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the dashboard, marked with E and F. When the needle is near E, it indicates low fuel, and when it is close to F, it means the tank is nearly full.

I've been driving a Chevrolet Malibu for several years and find its fuel tank capacity quite reasonable, around 65 liters. Filling up the tank takes less than an hour and can cover 700 to 800 kilometers, which is usually enough for a week of daily commuting. My experience shows that using 92-octane gasoline is sufficient—it's cost-effective and convenient. For long trips, the larger tank reduces refueling frequency, which is quite hassle-free. Remember to regularly check the fuel cap's seal to prevent leaks or moisture intrusion that could affect performance. Maintaining a steady speed on highways can extend the range by several dozen kilometers. Overall, the 65-liter tank is thoughtfully designed and suits someone like me who frequently drives to suburban areas.

As someone quite obsessed with automotive details, I must say the Malibu's fuel tank design is quite distinctive, typically around 65 liters. This capacity isn't arbitrarily determined—it accounts for engine fuel consumption and vehicle weight balance to ensure stable range. In city driving with higher fuel consumption (about 8L/100km), a full tank lasts around 700km; on highways, it can exceed 800km. The tank material resists corrosion, and its ventilation system prevents heat-induced deformation, making maintenance straightforward overall. I also recommend avoiding overfilling at the pump to minimize evaporation waste. Combined with economical driving habits, this can extend fuel efficiency without extra cost.

I drive a Malibu for my daily commute, and filling up its approximately 65-liter fuel tank is effortless. It only takes a few minutes at the gas station, and the ride is comfortable. Based on fuel consumption, a full tank typically lasts seven to ten days. Even when traffic jams increase fuel usage occasionally, it's tolerable. Simple maintenance like cleaning the oil filter is all it needs, with no complicated upkeep. Compared to cars with smaller tanks, this capacity reduces my trips to the gas station, saving both money and time, making family life more convenient.
