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 configuration. 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 calibrated capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity marked by automobile manufacturers 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 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 calibrated tank capacity. Fuel tank maintenance includes the following: Drain accumulated water and sediment from the tank, and check for oil leaks at pipe joints and switches. For fuel tank caps equipped with air valves and steam valves, ensure that the ventilation holes are clear. The filter screen at the fuel filler inlet should remain intact to prevent impurities from entering the tank during refueling and clogging the fuel lines. The sealing gasket on the fuel filler cap should also be intact to prevent fuel spillage while driving.

As an owner of the SAIC Maxus V80, I can share some firsthand experience. Its fuel tank capacity is approximately 80 liters, which is quite reasonable among light passenger vehicles in its class. I often drive it for long-distance deliveries, and a full tank can easily cover over 600 kilometers, eliminating the hassle of frequent fuel stops. Compared to vehicles with smaller tanks, this feature of the V80 is very practical, especially for people like me who need to transport goods or go on family trips. However, a large fuel tank doesn't mean maintenance can be neglected. I perform a simple check on the fuel cap's seal every month to prevent dust and moisture from entering, which could affect the fuel system's performance. Overall, the 80-liter design strikes a good balance between range and economy, making it very worry-free to drive.

I've always been fascinated by automotive technology, especially models like the SAIC Maxus V80. Its fuel tank has a nominal capacity of 80 liters, which I believe combines well with its engine efficiency – a 2.5-liter diesel engine with daily fuel consumption around 9-10 liters per 100 kilometers, supporting a range of approximately 700 kilometers. The fuel tank is designed with high-strength materials, resistant to rust and impact, making it suitable for various road conditions in both urban and rural areas. While driving, I also noticed that the fuel tank is positioned reasonably, not encroaching on passenger space, but don't forget to regularly clean the filter screen to prevent impurities from affecting the fuel system. A large fuel tank is an advantage for long-distance enthusiasts, and I often discuss comparisons with similar models with friends, such as how it offers more stable range than some vehicles with smaller fuel tanks.

Driving the V80 for short-distance deliveries is my daily routine, and its 80-liter fuel tank saves me a lot of refueling time. Spending a few hundred yuan to fill it up each time allows me to cover a solid 500 kilometers, eliminating the hassle of frequent stops. It would be ideal to keep the fuel consumption within the 8-10 liter range—I maintain tire pressure and adhere to timely maintenance to optimize efficiency. While the large fuel tank capacity is beneficial, don't overlook the economic aspect: the cost of a full tank doesn't account for the majority of total expenses; the key is to minimize the indirect losses from frequent refueling. Compared to smaller cars, this is more cost-effective; but if you're only driving around the city, it might be a waste of space. I've been using it for three years now and have never complained about the tank size.
