What is the fuel tank capacity of the Skoda Fabia in liters?
2 Answers
The 2017 Skoda Fabia comes in 9 variants with a fuel tank capacity of 45 liters. The vehicle is equipped with either a 1.6L naturally aspirated or 1.4L naturally aspirated engine, paired with either a 6-speed automatic transmission (AT) or 5-speed manual transmission (MT). All models feature front-wheel drive. Among comparable models, the 2021 Honda Fit has a 40-liter fuel tank, while the 2022 Volkswagen Polo has a 42.5-liter tank. During actual refueling, the fuel quantity may exceed the nominal capacity. This occurs because manufacturers specify tank capacity from the bottom to the safety level, leaving space between the safety level and the tank opening. This design accommodates fuel expansion due to temperature increases without causing overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening, the actual refueling quantity may exceed the nominal capacity. To check remaining fuel, observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the instrument panel marked with E (Empty) and F (Full). When the needle approaches E, it indicates low fuel level, while nearing F signifies sufficient fuel.
As someone who has driven the Skoda Fabia several times, I must say its fuel tank capacity is approximately 45 liters, which is quite suitable for a compact car. I often drive in the city, and a full tank can last 500 to 600 kilometers, with an average fuel consumption of 7 liters per 100 kilometers, saving a lot of refueling time. On long highway trips, it's even more fuel-efficient, with a range exceeding 700 kilometers, making it quite convenient for weekend getaways. The fuel tank is compactly designed and located under the chassis to save space, but it's advisable not to fill it too full to avoid sloshing and safety issues. Overall, the range is influenced by driving habits—for instance, rapid acceleration consumes fuel quickly. I prefer smooth driving to extend the mileage.
