What is the fuel tank capacity of the Roewe RX5?
2 Answers
Roewe RX5 has a fuel tank capacity of 55 liters, which is the officially announced data. The Roewe RX5 uses 92-octane gasoline, with a fuel consumption of 6.8 to 6.9L per 100 kilometers. A full tank can cover a distance of 797 to 809 kilometers. During daily driving, it is necessary to always pay attention to the remaining fuel level in the tank. This 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, and it is advisable to refuel when there are about 2 segments left to avoid running out of fuel midway. In the actual refueling process, the amount of fuel may exceed the calibrated capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity marked by the car manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safe limit, and there is still some space from the safe limit to the tank opening. This space is reserved to allow for fuel expansion when the temperature rises, preventing overflow from the tank. If fuel is added up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the marked tank capacity.
I've been driving the Roewe RX5 for a year and a half now, and I remember its fuel tank capacity is 55 liters. For daily city commuting, the fuel consumption is about 7-8 liters per 100 kilometers. A full tank can last over 600 kilometers, easily covering two weeks of daily travel. Even for short weekend trips, I don't need to refuel frequently, which is quite convenient. On highways, the range can be even longer. I feel the size is just right—neither wasting space nor causing inconvenience. I recommend regular maintenance for new cars to avoid fuel tank contamination affecting performance.
