The fuel tank capacity of the new Magotan is 70 liters. Below are the relevant details: Engine: The FAW-Volkswagen Magotan is equipped with a TSI engine featuring gasoline direct injection and turbocharging technology. It is paired with a 6-speed Tiptronic manual/automatic transmission. The top speed is 208 km/h, with a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 9.1 seconds. The maximum power is 110 kW at 5000-6000 rpm, and the maximum torque is 250 Nm at 1750-3000 rpm. Dimensions: The FAW-Volkswagen Magotan has a body size of 4865 mm × 1832 mm × 1471 mm (length × width × height), a wheelbase of 2871 mm, a minimum trunk volume of 533 liters, and a curb weight of 1445 kg.
The 66-liter fuel tank comes standard on the Magotan. I've tested it several times on long-distance trips. When full, the dashboard shows a range of about 820 kilometers, which is quite accurate. For daily commuting in the city, I usually only need to refuel every two weeks. However, it's worth noting that the fuel tank has a safety margin. Even when the low fuel warning light comes on, you can still drive about 50 kilometers. I once tested this and made it to a gas station. Different driving habits can affect the actual range. For example, my friend who frequently uses the air conditioning and accelerates aggressively saw his range drop by 100 kilometers.
When I first got the car, I specifically checked the manual, which states that the Volkswagen Magotan's fuel tank has a capacity of 66 liters. During a recent road trip, I found that the pump automatically stopped at around 63 liters when refueling. The after-sales service explained that this is a normal protective mechanism. Once on the highway, I calculated that with a cruising fuel consumption of 7 liters per 100 kilometers, the car could indeed last for 900 kilometers. It's advisable to refuel when the tank is down to a quarter full, as the fuel pump relies on gasoline for cooling—don't wait until the low fuel warning light comes on.
