What is the fuel tank capacity of the Roewe i6 in liters?

The fuel tank capacity of the Roewe i6 is 45 liters, as officially announced. Owners who have purchased the Roewe i6 can also check this information on the vehicle's configuration sheet. The Roewe i6 uses 92-octane fuel, with a fuel consumption of 5.8-5.9L per 100 kilometers. A full tank can cover a distance of approximately 763-776 kilometers. During daily driving, it is essential to monitor the remaining fuel level in the tank. This is typically observed through the fuel gauge inside the vehicle. Under normal circumstances, the fuel level will be accurately reflected on the gauge. 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 mid-journey. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel added may exceed the marked capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity specified by the manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safe fill level. There is additional space from the safe fill level to the tank opening, 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 amount of fuel added may exceed the marked tank capacity.
Last time I drove my friend's Roewe i6, I noticed the fuel tank when refueling. I remember the official specification is 45 liters, and my friend's 2019 1.6L model actually filled up to about that amount. The car's fuel consumption isn't high, around 7 liters per 100 kilometers in the city, so a full tank can reliably cover over 600 kilometers. However, the new hybrid version might be different, depending on the specific configuration. Last time while refueling, I mentioned to my friend that a small engine paired with this tank size is quite suitable for commuting, and it also means waiting less time in line at the gas station.
I specifically checked the manual, and the Roewe i6's fuel tank is marked with a 45-liter capacity, which is considered above average in its class. Models like the Corolla are also in this range. Recently, I conducted a real-world test: when the fuel gauge indicated the last small segment remaining, I refueled with 41 liters of 92-octane gasoline before the pump automatically stopped, showing the fuel warning is quite accurate. On another occasion, I deliberately tested the range on the highway with the air conditioning on until the fuel warning light came on, and the odometer showed 582 kilometers, indicating quite economical average fuel consumption, which is fully sufficient for daily commuting. However, the older 1.0T model might have some differences, so it's advisable for owners to check the factory nameplate when refueling.
