What is the fuel tank capacity of the Nissan Sylphy Classic 1.6?

The fuel tank capacity of the Nissan Sylphy Classic 1.6L is 50 liters, as officially announced. Owners of the Nissan Sylphy Classic 1.6L can also verify this information on the vehicle's configuration sheet. The Nissan Sylphy Classic 1.6L uses 92-octane fuel, with a fuel consumption of 5.2 to 6.1L per 100 kilometers. A full tank can cover a distance of 820 to 962 kilometers. During daily driving, it is essential to monitor the remaining fuel level in the tank. This is typically observed through the fuel gauge inside the vehicle. Under normal circumstances, the fuel level will be accurately reflected on the gauge. The fuel gauge usually has 5 to 6 segments, and it is advisable to refuel when there are only 2 segments left to avoid running out of fuel midway. In actual refueling situations, the amount of fuel added 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 safe fill limit. There is additional space from the safe fill limit to the tank opening, which is designed to accommodate fuel expansion due to temperature increases without causing overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the marked tank capacity.
I remember the fuel tank capacity of the Nissan Sylphy Classic 1.6 is 50 liters. Having driven this car for nearly two years, I find this size quite suitable for daily commuting. The average fuel consumption is around 7-8 liters per 100 kilometers, and a full tank can easily cover over 600 kilometers, which is very convenient. For highway driving, the fuel consumption drops to about 6 liters, extending the range to around 700 kilometers, making it ideal for business trips without frequent refueling. However, in city traffic jams, the consumption rises to about 8.5 liters, and the fuel level drops faster, but filling up twice a month is sufficient. I usually recommend not filling the tank completely—90% is enough, as a full tank increases weight and affects acceleration, plus it saves a bit on fuel costs. Additionally, the plastic fuel tank is durable, but for long-term parking, it's best to keep the fuel level above 1/4 to protect the fuel pump and avoid cooling issues. The car's range design is very thoughtful, perfect for commuters like me.
