What is the fuel tank capacity of the Sylphy?

Sylphy 1.2L models have a fuel tank capacity of 41 liters, the Classic 1.6L models have a fuel tank capacity of 50 liters, and the 1.6L-CVT version models have a fuel tank capacity of 47 liters. These data are officially released. The Sylphy uses 92-octane fuel. The 1.2L models have a fuel consumption of 3.9L per 100 kilometers, allowing a range of 1051km on a full tank. The Classic 1.6L models have a fuel consumption of 5.2-6.1L per 100 kilometers, with a range of 819-961km on a full tank. The 1.6L-CVT version models have a fuel consumption of 4.9-5.3L per 100 kilometers, providing a range of 886-959km on a full tank. During daily driving, it is essential to monitor the remaining fuel level in the tank. This is typically observed through the fuel gauge in the vehicle. If there are no other issues, 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 there are 2 segments left to avoid running out of fuel midway. In actual refueling, the amount of fuel added 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 safety limit, with additional space from the safety limit to the tank opening. This space ensures that the fuel can expand when temperatures rise without overflowing. If fuel is added up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the calibrated tank capacity.
As a commuter who has driven a Sylphy for three years, I find its fuel tank capacity of approximately 46 liters quite practical. During daily city commuting with traffic congestion, the fuel consumption is around 7L/100km, allowing a full tank to cover over 650km—meaning just one refuel per week, which is hassle-free. The fuel tank's position is well-designed in the chassis, not encroaching on trunk space while maintaining stable cornering. Air conditioning use in summer slightly increases consumption, but overall it remains economical, ideal for fixed-route drivers like me. The capacity strikes a perfect balance—neither requiring frequent gas station visits nor wasting fuel costs. Long-term usage proves exceptionally time- and effort-saving, and mechanics during routine maintenance often praise this rationally balanced safety-oriented design.
For a mom like me who loves driving with kids, the 46L fuel tank of the Nissan Sylphy is quite suitable. A full tank can last a week for school runs, and even with AC on in summer, the fuel consumption remains low, saving money and ensuring safety. The tank design doesn't protrude from the car body, providing leak-proof and explosion-proof safety, which is especially reassuring when traveling with kids. The capacity is well-balanced—unlike small cars that require frequent refueling and waste time, or large cars that carry too much fuel and pose risks. Using 92-octane gasoline is economical. Remember to check the fuel cap seal every time you refuel; developing this good habit can extend the fuel tank's lifespan.
