What is the fuel tank capacity of the new Sylphy?

2022 Nissan Sylphy has a total of 11 models, with fuel tank capacities of 41 liters, 47 liters, and 50 liters respectively. The vehicles are equipped with 1.2L and 1.6L naturally aspirated engines, and all models use either a 1-speed fixed gear ratio transmission, continuously variable transmission (CVT), or 5-speed manual transmission (MT). All models feature front-engine, front-wheel-drive configuration. In the same class, the 2021 Buick Excelle (modified model) 1.5L automatic entry version has a fuel tank capacity of 44 liters, while the 2022 Volkswagen Lavida 1.5L manual basic version has a 51-liter fuel tank. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the calibrated capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity marked by manufacturers measures from the tank bottom to the safety limit, with additional space remaining between the safety limit and the tank opening. This space ensures that fuel expansion due to temperature increases won't cause overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual refueling amount may exceed the calibrated capacity. To check remaining fuel, drivers can observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the instrument panel, marked with E (empty) and F (full). When the needle approaches E, it indicates low fuel, while nearing F shows sufficient fuel levels.
I recently studied the fuel tank issue of the new Sylphy, which has a capacity of 50 liters. This significantly impacts actual driving because the tank size directly relates to refueling frequency and trip planning. For daily commuting, with an average fuel consumption of 7L/100km, a full tank can cover over 700 kilometers. This means I only need to refuel once a week, which is very convenient. Moreover, the Sylphy is positioned as a family car, balancing space and fuel efficiency in its design, unlike some sporty cars with smaller tanks that require frequent refueling. On long trips, the 50-liter large tank reduces my worry about stopping at service areas, making the overall driving experience smoother. However, it's important to note that while the official data provides the tank capacity, actual range depends on driving habits and road conditions. In summary, this is a practical detail that affects the convenience of car owners.
