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

The fuel tank capacity of the Sonata 8 is 60 liters, as officially announced. Owners of the Sonata 8 can also check this information on the vehicle's configuration sheet. The Sonata 8 uses 92-octane fuel, with a fuel consumption of 5.6 to 6.9L per 100 kilometers. A full tank can cover a distance of 871 to 1071 kilometers. During daily driving, it is essential to monitor the remaining fuel level in the tank. This is typically done by observing the fuel gauge inside the vehicle. Under normal circumstances, the fuel level will be accurately reflected on the gauge. The fuel gauge usually has 5 to 6 segments, and it is advisable to refuel when only 2 segments remain to avoid running out of fuel midway. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the marked capacity. This is because the manufacturer's specified tank capacity is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safe fill level, leaving some space between the safe fill level and 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 added may exceed the marked tank capacity.
I remember when driving the Sonata 8th generation, the fuel tank capacity was around 70 liters, which was quite convenient for daily use. A full tank could last about 700-800 kilometers, making it suitable for someone like me who frequently drives long distances. The fuel consumption was approximately 9 liters per 100 km, and a full tank could last about ten days for commuting. When it comes to refueling, it's recommended to stop once the pump automatically shuts off to avoid overfilling, which could affect safety. Compared to similar models like the Camry, which also has a 70-liter tank, the Sonata 8 doesn’t differ much in this aspect, but its overall range is quite good. Also, be careful not to tighten the fuel cap too much, as it can easily get damaged. The car drives very steadily, and the large fuel tank reduces the frequency of trips to the gas station, saving a lot of time.
The Sonata VIII has a standard fuel tank capacity of 70 liters, which I've found to be just the right size over the years of driving. As a midsize sedan, the 70-liter capacity well matches the engine displacement, eliminating concerns about frequent refueling during highway drives. For typical city commuting, a full tank lasts about two weeks, and I usually rely on navigation apps to monitor fuel levels and remind me to refuel. For safety, I always check the fuel pipe position at gas stations to ensure it's not blocked, preventing overfilling and leaks. Among its peers, models like the Teana or Magotan also feature fuel tanks in the 65-70 liter range, making the Sonata VIII's performance well-balanced. Refueling frequency is roughly every 500 kilometers, though I adjust my driving habits—like minimizing sudden acceleration—to save fuel depending on road conditions. It serves well for daily driving, with minimal impact on tank space even in hot weather.
