What is the fuel tank capacity of the Rapid?
2 Answers
2022 Rapid has 1 model with a fuel tank capacity of 52.8 liters. The vehicle is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, and all models feature a 6-speed automatic transmission (AT). All models adopt a front-engine, front-wheel-drive layout. Among vehicles in the same class, the 2022 Cavalier 320 Manual Xindong Edition has a fuel tank capacity of 36 liters, while the 2020 Excelle 15N Manual Elite has a fuel tank capacity of 40 liters. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the calibrated capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity marked by the automaker is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safe limit. There is additional space from the safe limit to the tank opening, which is designed to allow for fuel expansion due to temperature increases without causing overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual refueling amount may exceed the calibrated tank capacity. To check the remaining fuel level, owners can observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the instrument panel, marked with E and F. When the pointer is close to E, it indicates low fuel, and when it approaches F, it means the fuel level is sufficient.
The Rapid's fuel tank capacity is 55 liters, which is quite reasonable for a compact car. I've been driving the Rapid for several years myself. When driving in the city with a full tank, it typically lasts around 400-500 kilometers, but it's more fuel-efficient on highways, potentially reaching 600 kilometers before needing a refill. If you're considering buying a car, the tank size affects convenience. The 55-liter capacity allows you to plan refuels during fuel price fluctuations without being too large to add unnecessary weight and increase fuel consumption. During regular maintenance, checking the fuel tank's sealing is also crucial to avoid aging and leaks, which can extend the engine's lifespan. Overall, it's a balanced choice, especially suitable for daily commuting and short trips.
