What is the fuel tank capacity of the Santana Zhijun?

The fuel tank capacity of the Santana Zhijun-2010 1.6L Manual Comfort model is 60L. It is equipped with a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine and a 5-speed manual transmission (MT). The drivetrain is front-engine, front-wheel drive. The front suspension is a MacPherson strut independent suspension, while the rear suspension is a compound torsion beam non-independent suspension. In the same vehicle class, the Yixuan MAX-2021 1.5T Super Dad Edition has a fuel tank capacity of 52L. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the calibrated capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity marked by the 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 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 fuel volume may exceed the calibrated capacity. To check the remaining fuel level, drivers can observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the dashboard, marked with E (Empty) and F (Full). When the needle is close to E, it indicates low fuel, while proximity to F means the tank is nearly full.
I've driven the Santana Zhijun several times, and its 55-liter fuel tank is quite practical. A full tank can get me around 500 kilometers, depending on how I drive. In city traffic with frequent stops, the fuel consumption is higher, maybe just over 400 kilometers, but on the highway at a steady speed, it can reach up to 600 kilometers. I like this car because its fuel tank is well-designed, saving time by not requiring frequent refueling. For regular refueling, I recommend going to major gas stations since fuel quality affects performance. Also, don't fill the tank to the brim—leave some space to account for thermal expansion. Regular maintenance includes checking the fuel tank and fuel pump, keeping them clean and free of debris to extend the vehicle's lifespan. Overall, the 55-liter capacity is very convenient for daily commuting or family use.
