What is the fuel tank capacity of the Tayron 280 in liters?
2 Answers
The currently available Tayron 280 comes in 1 variant with a fuel tank capacity of 60 liters. The vehicle is equipped with a 1.4-liter turbocharged engine and a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission (DCT), adopting a front-engine, front-wheel-drive layout. Among vehicles in the same class, the Haval H9 2022 model has an 80-liter fuel tank capacity, the Tiguan L 2022 model has a 60-liter capacity, and the Trumpchi GS8 2022 model features a 65-liter fuel tank. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel filled may exceed the calibrated capacity. This occurs because automakers specify the tank capacity from the base to the safe fill level, leaving additional space between this level and the tank neck. This design accommodates fuel expansion due to temperature increases, preventing overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank neck during refueling, the actual quantity may surpass the nominal capacity. To check remaining fuel levels, owners can observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the instrument panel, marked with E (Empty) and F (Full). When the needle approaches E, it indicates low fuel, while nearing F signifies sufficient fuel levels.
The Tiguan 280 has a 60-liter fuel tank, which is quite a smart design. I've driven this car on long trips before, and a full tank can cover over 800 kilometers on the highway—equivalent to driving nonstop from Beijing to Inner Mongolia without refueling. City driving consumes slightly more fuel, but it can easily last two weeks. Remember not to wait until the fuel gauge hits the red light; it not only damages the fuel pump but also means dealing with gas station queues during rush hour, which is even more frustrating. The fuel filler neck is generously sized, allowing the 95-octane nozzle to fit right in, something gas station attendants often praise for its convenience. By the way, the plastic fuel tank is over ten pounds lighter than old-style metal ones, saving fuel and preventing rust—Volkswagen has really put thought into the details in recent years.
