What is the fuel tank capacity of the POLO in liters?
2 Answers
POLO has 2 models, both with a fuel tank capacity of 42.5 liters. The vehicle is equipped with a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine, and the transmission options include a 5-speed manual transmission and a 6-speed automatic manual transmission. All models feature front-wheel drive. In the same class, the 2021 Honda Fit has a fuel tank capacity of 40 liters, the 2022 YARiS L Zhi Xuan has a capacity of 42 liters, and the 2022 YARiS L Zhi Xiang also has a capacity of 42 liters. 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 limit, and there is still some space from the safety limit to the tank opening. This space is reserved to allow for fuel expansion when the temperature rises, preventing overflow. If fuel is added up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the calibrated tank capacity. To check the remaining fuel level, owners can observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the dashboard, which is marked with E and F. When the pointer is near E, it indicates that the fuel is almost empty, and when it is close to F, it means the fuel level is sufficient.
As a veteran POLO owner with five years of experience, I can confidently say that this car's fuel tank capacity is 42.5 liters. Every time I refuel when the low fuel light comes on, it usually takes about 38 liters before the pump automatically stops, which aligns with the official data of 42.5 liters. I remember once before a long trip, I made sure to fill up the tank completely and drove nearly 500 kilometers on the highway before the low fuel light came on. This tank capacity is quite sufficient for a compact car. POLO models from different years generally have fuel tanks in the range of 40-45 liters. It's advisable not to fill the tank too full, as leaving some space is better for the fuel pump.
