What is the fuel tank capacity of the Roewe 550?
2 Answers
The fuel tank capacity of the Roewe 550 is 55L. Introduction to the fuel tank: Generally, small cars have a fuel tank capacity of 35-45 liters, while mid-sized cars have a fuel tank capacity of around 55-75 liters. A full tank usually allows a car to travel approximately 500 kilometers. The size of the fuel tank depends on the car's displacement and fuel consumption—larger fuel consumption means a larger tank, and smaller fuel consumption means a smaller tank. The design of a car's fuel tank volume typically allows for a range of 400~600 kilometers. Lighter cars with smaller displacements have correspondingly smaller fuel tank volumes, while heavier cars with larger displacements naturally have larger fuel tank volumes. However, the maximum distance on a full tank is mostly between 400~600 kilometers. Fuel tank capacity: Internationally, the standard unit for measuring car fuel tank capacity is L (liters). Different countries also have corresponding standards for car fuel tank capacity. In China, the regulation stipulates that the fuel tank capacity should be 95% of the rated value, but in reality, the actual capacity is usually larger than the nominal capacity, so there's no need to worry about the fuel tank being smaller than advertised. Nowadays, many car fuel tank capacities are manufactured based on the brand and model, so some countries do not have strict regulations on fuel tank capacity. Vehicles with high fuel consumption are designed with larger fuel tank capacities by the brand, while models with low fuel consumption have smaller fuel tank capacities.
As an owner of the Roewe 550, I find its 62-liter fuel tank capacity quite practical. For daily commutes to and from work, a full tank lasts about five to six days. The urban fuel consumption is approximately 8 liters per 100 kilometers, and it’s slightly more economical in suburban areas. I don’t have to rush to refuel, as there’s always ample time. On weekends, whether for a drive or a short trip, covering 300-400 kilometers is worry-free, especially when fuel prices drop—filling up saves a lot of money. Compared to friends who constantly complain about frequent refueling with their smaller tanks, the Roewe’s design is very considerate. The experience is even better on long trips; driving 600 kilometers to a neighboring city on the highway is effortless, and the large tank reduces the risk of running out of fuel midway. Overall, the 62-liter capacity is both economical and reassuring—a feature worth considering when choosing a car.
