What is the fuel tank capacity of the Peugeot 308 in liters?
2 Answers
The fuel tank capacity of the Peugeot 308 is 53 liters. It belongs to the compact car category, with body dimensions of 4590mm in length, 1820mm in width, and 1488mm in height. The wheelbase is 2675mm, the front track is 1555mm, and the rear track is 1550mm. The trunk capacity is 450 liters, and the curb weight is 1320kg. The Peugeot 308 features a MacPherson strut independent front suspension and a torsion beam non-independent rear suspension. It is equipped with a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 117 PS, a maximum power of 86 kW, and a maximum torque of 150 Nm. The transmission is a 6-speed automatic manual gearbox.
I've driven the previous generation Peugeot 308 hatchback, and the actual fuel tank capacity is around 56 liters. When the fuel warning light comes on, there's approximately 8 liters remaining, which makes the reserve capacity quite reasonable. Filling up to the automatic pump shut-off usually takes about 52 liters, and adding more than that could potentially harm the carbon canister. Peugeot's fuel tanks are generally on the smaller side, but with the 1.2T engine's fuel consumption of just over 6 liters per 100 kilometers, a full tank is more than enough for 700 kilometers. I remember last year during a long-distance trip, I drove 680 kilometers on a single tank of fuel on the highway before the warning light came on, which really demonstrates its excellent fuel efficiency.
