What is the fuel tank capacity of the Nissan Kicks?
2 Answers
The 2022 Nissan Kicks comes in 3 models, all with a fuel tank capacity of 41L. The vehicles are equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine and a 6-speed continuously variable transmission (CVT). All models feature front-wheel drive. In the same class, the 2020 Song PLUS has a fuel tank capacity of 60 liters, while the 2021 Trax has a 40-liter fuel tank. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the calibrated capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity specified by the manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safety level, with additional space from the safety level to the tank opening. This extra 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 refueling amount may exceed the calibrated capacity. Methods to open the fuel tank: Mechanical key: Typically found in some rugged off-road vehicles, this method is less common in regular household cars due to its relative complexity. In-car switch: The location of the in-car fuel tank switch varies by model. It may be on the floor to the left of the driver's seat, on the left front door panel, or on the center console, usually marked with a fuel pump icon. Note that using the in-car switch can sometimes lead to forgetting to turn off the engine before refueling, so always remember to turn off the engine before refueling. Press-to-open: This is currently the most convenient method. After parking, the fuel attendant can simply press to open the fuel tank door. However, when not refueling, remember to lock the central control to prevent the fuel tank cap from being opened.
I recently researched the Nissan Kicks, which has a fuel tank capacity of 41 liters. As a compact SUV, this size is quite common and perfectly adequate for daily urban commuting. A full tank can last between 500 to 600 kilometers, depending on your driving habits and road conditions. After driving a friend’s car, I noticed its engine is fuel-efficient, with city fuel consumption around 14 km/L, and even better on highways. The smaller tank actually makes the vehicle lighter, enhancing its agility. For maintenance, it’s advisable not to wait until the fuel warning light comes on before refueling—keeping it above half a tank can extend the fuel pump’s lifespan. The interior space is well-arranged, with a spacious rear seat and a large trunk. Overall, it’s a practical car with a tank size that balances range and lightweight design, making it suitable for both beginners and experienced drivers.
