What is the fuel tank capacity of the Qin PLUS DM-i?
1 Answers
The BYD Qin PLUS DM-i has a fuel tank capacity of 48 liters, as officially announced by the manufacturer. This information can also be found in the vehicle's configuration sheet. The Qin PLUS DM-i uses 92-octane fuel, with a fuel consumption of 3.8L per 100 kilometers, allowing a maximum range of 1263 kilometers on a full tank. The BYD Qin PLUS DM-i measures 4765*1837*1495 mm in length, width, and height respectively, with a wheelbase of 2718 mm. It is equipped with a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine that delivers a maximum power of 81 kW at 6000 rpm and a maximum torque of 135 Nm at 4500 rpm. This engine features multi-point fuel injection technology and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. The electric motor paired with this engine produces a maximum power of 132 kW and a maximum torque of 316 Nm. The front suspension is a MacPherson independent suspension, while the rear suspension uses a torsion beam non-independent suspension. The MacPherson suspension is known for its simple structure, compact size, and low cost. The torsion beam rear suspension helps to maximize rear passenger space and trunk capacity. During daily driving, it is essential to monitor the remaining fuel level in the tank. This is typically done by observing the fuel gauge inside the vehicle. Under normal circumstances, the fuel gauge accurately reflects the fuel level. The fuel gauge usually has 5 to 6 segments, and it is advisable to refuel when only 2 segments remain to avoid running out of fuel unexpectedly. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel added may exceed the calibrated capacity. This is because the manufacturer's specified tank capacity is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safety limit, and there is additional space from the safety limit to the tank opening. This extra space ensures that the fuel can expand safely when temperatures rise without overflowing. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening, the actual refueling volume may exceed the specified tank capacity.
