What is the fuel tank capacity of the Tiggo 5?

The fuel tank capacity of the Tiggo 5 2017 1.5T Manual Value Edition is 55L. It is equipped with a 1.5L turbocharged engine and a 5-speed manual transmission (MT). The drivetrain is front-engine, front-wheel drive. The front suspension is a MacPherson independent suspension, and the rear suspension is a double-wishbone independent suspension. In the same class, the Tiggo 3x 2022 Diamond Edition 1.5L Manual 1-Carat has a fuel tank capacity of 48L, while the Jetour X70 Coupe 2020 1.5T Manual Cool 5-Seater has a fuel tank capacity of 55L. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the marked capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity specified by the manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safety limit. There is additional space from the safety limit to the tank opening, which is reserved to allow for fuel expansion due to temperature increases without causing overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual fuel volume may exceed the marked capacity. To check the remaining fuel level, drivers can observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the instrument panel, which is marked with E (Empty) and F (Full). When the needle is close to E, it indicates low fuel, while near F means the tank is full.
When I first bought the Tiggo 5, I was particularly concerned about the fuel tank size. According to the official website, it's 55 liters, which suits my long-distance driving habits well. On highways, a full tank usually gets me around 550 to 600 kilometers. Fuel consumption depends on driving style, and I typically keep it between 8 to 9 liters per 100 kilometers. I recommend not waiting for the fuel light to come on before refueling; it's better to fill up when a quarter remains to avoid damaging the fuel pump from running dry. The fuel tank is designed at the chassis position, making refueling quick and convenient, but remember to use 95-octane gasoline to protect the engine. This capacity is ideal for family trips, eliminating the hassle of frequent stops. It's practical for suburban or intercity highway drives, and generally, refueling once a week is sufficient. Regularly checking the fuel cap's seal can also prevent fuel theft issues.
