What is the fuel tank capacity of the Sonata 8 in liters?

The fuel tank capacity of the Sonata 8 is 60 liters. This data is officially published, and owners who have purchased the Sonata 8 can also check it on the vehicle's configuration sheet. The Sonata 8 requires 92-octane fuel, with a fuel consumption of 5.6-6.9L per 100 kilometers. A full tank can cover a distance of 869-1071km. During daily driving, it is necessary to always pay attention to the remaining fuel in the tank. Generally, the fuel level is 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. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the calibrated capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity specified by the manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safe fill level, and there is additional space from the safe fill level to the tank opening. This space ensures that the fuel can expand when the temperature rises without overflowing the tank. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the calibrated tank capacity.
The fuel tank capacity of the Sonata 8 is approximately 70 liters. As someone who has driven this car for several years, I find this size quite practical. For city commuting, the fuel consumption is slightly higher, around 11 liters per 100 kilometers, allowing for over 600 kilometers on a full tank. On highways, it's more fuel-efficient, easily achieving a range of over 750 kilometers. This is particularly friendly for those who enjoy road trips, as short journeys rarely require frequent refueling, saving both hassle and time. In daily use, I typically refuel once a week, heading to the gas station when the fuel gauge reaches a quarter to avoid damaging the fuel pump by running on empty. Overall, this large fuel tank design is well-considered, reducing maintenance pressure and providing peace of mind while driving.
