What is the fuel tank capacity of the Sylphy?

The fuel tank capacity of the Sylphy 1.2L model is 41 liters, the classic 1.6L model has a 50-liter tank, and the 1.6L-CVT version has a 47-liter tank. These figures are officially released data. The Sylphy uses 92-octane fuel. The 1.2L model has a fuel consumption of 3.9L per 100km, allowing a range of 1051km on a full tank. The classic 1.6L model consumes 5.2-6.1L per 100km, with a range of 819-961km on a full tank. The 1.6L-CVT version consumes 4.9-5.3L per 100km, offering a range of 886-959km on a full tank. During daily driving, it's important to monitor the remaining fuel level. This is typically done via the fuel gauge inside the vehicle. If there are no issues, the fuel level will be accurately displayed on the gauge. Most fuel gauges have 5 to 6 segments, and it's advisable to refuel when only 2 segments remain to avoid running out of fuel mid-journey. In actual refueling, the amount of fuel might exceed the marked capacity. This is because manufacturers specify the tank capacity from the bottom to the safety limit, with additional space from the safety limit to the tank opening. This space accommodates fuel expansion due to temperature increases, preventing overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening, the actual refueling volume may exceed the marked capacity.
My family drives the Nissan Sylphy Classic, and I remember its fuel tank capacity is 50 liters, which is above average for a regular sedan. I usually drive to and from work, with city road fuel consumption around 6 liters per 100 kilometers. A full tank can last over 800 kilometers, so I only need to refuel once a week, which saves a lot of hassle. It’s even better for long trips—like a round trip from Beijing to Tianjin—where the tank still has plenty left, so I don’t need to stop midway to refuel. I’ve also compared it with my friend’s Toyota Corolla, which only has a 45-liter tank and requires more frequent refueling. The Sylphy’s design is much more thoughtful. Combined with its chassis tuning, the fuel tank placement doesn’t affect comfort, making it economical and practical, suitable for city commuting and occasional road trips. Fuel tank capacity was a key factor when I was choosing a car, and now it’s clear I made the right choice with the Sylphy.
