What is the fuel tank capacity of the Tiggo 8 Kunpeng Edition?
2 Answers
The fuel tank capacity of the Tiggo 8 Kunpeng Edition is 51 liters, as officially announced. The Tiggo 8 Kunpeng Edition uses 92-octane gasoline with a fuel consumption of 7L per 100 kilometers. A full tank can provide a driving range of approximately 729km. 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 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 only 2 segments remain to avoid running out of fuel mid-journey. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel added may exceed the marked capacity. This is because the manufacturer's specified 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 extra space ensures that the fuel can expand safely under high temperatures without overflowing. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount added may exceed the marked tank capacity.
I've been driving the Tiggo 8 Kunpeng Edition for almost two years now. This car has a fuel tank capacity of 55 liters, and a full tank can take me quite far. The official combined fuel consumption is about 8 liters per 100 kilometers, so theoretically, a full tank can cover over 600 kilometers. In actual driving, considering road conditions and habits, it usually manages around 500 kilometers without any issues. Once, I drove from Shanghai to Hangzhou and back, covering over 400 kilometers, and there was still plenty of fuel left in the tank—no need to refuel midway, which was convenient and hassle-free. For daily commuting, refueling once a week is enough, reducing the hassle of frequent gas station visits and making it safer, especially during rush hours. This large fuel tank design is quite common among SUVs, with most models in the same class also having around 55 liters. However, the engine optimization in the Tiggo 8 Kunpeng Edition ensures decent fuel efficiency. Although fuel consumption may increase slightly when fully loaded or using air conditioning, it's generally quite practical. For long-distance road trips, the large fuel tank provides a sense of security, eliminating constant worries about running low on fuel.
