What is the fuel tank capacity of the SAIC Maxus V80?
2 Answers
The 2021 SAIC Maxus V80 has a total of 58 models, all with a fuel tank capacity of 80L. The vehicles are equipped with a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine and feature front-engine, front-wheel drive. Among vehicles in the same class, the 2020 Ruitu has a fuel tank capacity of 80 liters, while the 2021 Transit has a fuel tank capacity of 68 liters. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel 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 safety limit, and there is additional space from the safety limit to the tank opening. This space ensures that the fuel can expand when temperatures rise without overflowing. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel may exceed the marked capacity. Maintenance tips for the fuel tank are as follows: Drain accumulated water and sediment from the tank, and check for leaks at fuel pipe connections and switches. For fuel tank caps equipped with air valves and vapor valves, ensure that the ventilation holes are clear. The filter screen at the fuel filler neck should remain intact to prevent impurities from entering the tank and clogging the fuel lines during refueling. The sealing gasket on the fuel filler cap should also be intact to prevent fuel from spilling while driving.
The fuel tank capacity of the SAIC Maxus V80 is 80 liters. Having driven this vehicle for a while, I find this size quite appropriate—a full tank can cover about 500 kilometers, making it very convenient for long-distance travel or business transportation without frequent stops at gas stations, and it also helps in planning trips. However, a larger capacity does come with some drawbacks, such as higher refueling costs; when fuel prices rise, the wallet feels the pinch. I recommend filling it up to about two-thirds under normal circumstances. I’ve also noticed that the fuel tank design emphasizes safety—it’s important to regularly inspect the fuel pump and cap seals to prevent leakage accidents, especially in humid areas where extra caution is needed. Don’t overlook this during maintenance, as it can extend the lifespan of the components.
