What is the fuel tank capacity of the Sylphy?
2 Answers
Currently, there are 11 available models of the Sylphy. The e-POWER version has a fuel tank capacity of 41L, the classic version has a capacity of 50L, and other versions have a capacity of 47L. This data is provided by the car manufacturer, and Sylphy owners can also check it on the vehicle's configuration sheet. The Sylphy uses 92-octane fuel. The e-POWER version has a fuel consumption of 3.9L per 100km, allowing a range of 1051km on a full tank. The classic version has a fuel consumption of 5.2 to 6.1L per 100km, with a range of 820 to 962km on a full tank. Other versions have a fuel consumption of 4.9 to 5.3L per 100km, offering a range of 887 to 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 inside the vehicle. If there are no other issues, the fuel level will be accurately displayed 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 mid-journey. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the calibrated capacity. This is because the manufacturer's specified fuel tank capacity 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 may exceed the calibrated capacity.
My Nissan Sylphy has been running for almost three years now, and each time I refuel, it takes about 47 liters. Once before a highway trip, I deliberately filled it up, and when the fuel gauge light came on, I calculated that I had driven over 600 kilometers. With this capacity, I only need to refuel every two weeks for daily commuting, and it's more than enough for short weekend trips. The fuel tank design is quite clever, with the filler opening on the left rear side, allowing the fuel nozzle to go all the way in. I remember when I first picked up the car, the salesperson reminded me that there's a protective layer at the bottom of the new car's fuel tank, so not to fill it up completely the first time. Normally, I refuel when the yellow light comes on, and a little over 300 yuan is enough to fill it up. Once, a relative borrowed the car for a mountain trip, started with a full tank, and didn’t need to find a gas station the entire trip. When they returned, they praised how practical the fuel tank was.
