What is the fuel tank capacity of the new Bora?

Volkswagen Bora has different fuel tank capacities of 50L and 55L depending on the version. The manufacturer recommends using 92-octane gasoline. For safety reasons, the engine must be turned off before refueling, and the fuel tank cap can be opened by pressing it without locking the car. Here are the relevant details: Refueling precautions: To prevent safety hazards, ensure the fuel nozzle is fully inserted into the fuel tank. The fuel tank cap must be tightly closed; otherwise, it may lead to fuel evaporation at best or accidents at worst. Refueling process: First, press the left side of the fuel tank cap to open it. Turn the fuel tank cap counterclockwise to remove it. The fuel tank cap has a designated placement position; simply insert it there. Insert the fuel nozzle into the fuel filler neck until it reaches the limit position. If the fuel pump is automatically stopped for the first time, it indicates the tank is full. Do not continue refueling, as this may fill the expansion chamber in the tank with fuel. Do not remove the fuel nozzle immediately; leave it in the filler neck for 5 seconds to allow any remaining fuel to drain into the tank. Tighten the fuel tank cap clockwise until you hear a click sound indicating it is properly sealed. Close the fuel tank cap firmly until you hear a "click" sound.
I remember when I drove the New Bora, its fuel tank could hold about 55 liters, and a full tank could last for around 500 to 600 kilometers, which was quite convenient. In the city, the fuel consumption was about 7 liters per 100 kilometers, and on long trips, it was a bit more economical, around 6 liters. I used to think the size of the fuel tank didn't matter, but now I find it very important, especially during long trips or road trips, as a full tank can last a long time, reducing the need to frequently look for gas stations. However, it's also important to pay attention to driving habits—avoid slamming the accelerator and maintain a steady speed to keep fuel consumption lower. During regular maintenance, check the fuel tank cap's seal to prevent leaks or contamination, because safety always comes first.
