What is the fuel tank capacity of the Roewe i5?
2 Answers
The fuel tank capacity of the Roewe i5 is 50L, as officially announced. The Roewe i5 uses 92-octane gasoline, with a fuel consumption of 5.5-5.9L per 100 kilometers. A full tank can cover a distance of 847-909km. During daily driving, it is necessary to pay attention to the remaining fuel level in the tank. The fuel level is usually observed through the fuel gauge inside the car. If there are no other issues, the fuel level will be accurately reflected on the gauge. The fuel gauge typically has 5 to 6 segments. It is advisable to refuel when there are only 2 segments left to avoid running out of fuel midway. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the marked capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity marked by the car manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safety limit. There is additional space from the safety limit to the tank opening, which is reserved 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 amount of fuel added may exceed the marked tank capacity.
The Roewe i5 has a fuel tank capacity of 45 liters, which is quite reasonable for a compact sedan. I've driven the i5 several times myself, and a full tank can last around 600 kilometers in city driving, with an average fuel consumption of 6-7L/100km, making it quite economical. Paying attention to avoiding idling and gently pressing the accelerator can improve fuel efficiency. On highways, you can go even further, reducing stops during trips to save time and costs. In terms of vehicle design, the 45-liter tank pairs well with the 1.5L engine, balancing weight and fuel consumption effectively. During maintenance, checking the fuel lines and regularly cleaning the filters can extend the tank's lifespan. Overall, the 45-liter capacity is sufficient for daily commutes and weekend trips, offering convenience and practicality.
