What is the fuel tank capacity of the Tiggo 8 Plus in liters?
2 Answers
The fuel tank capacity of the Tiggo 8 Plus is 51 liters, as officially announced. Owners who have purchased the Tiggo 8 Plus can also check this information on the vehicle's configuration sheet. The recommended fuel grade for the Tiggo 8 Plus is 92 octane, with a fuel consumption rate of 6.4 to 7.0L per 100 kilometers. A full tank of fuel can cover a distance of approximately 728 to 797 kilometers. 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. Under normal circumstances, the fuel gauge accurately reflects the fuel level. 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 midway. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel added may exceed the marked capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity specified by the manufacturer measures the volume from the bottom of the tank to the safety limit. There is additional space from the safety limit to the tank opening, designed to accommodate fuel expansion due to temperature increases without causing overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the marked tank capacity.
I've been driving the Tiggo 8 Plus for over three years now. With a standard fuel tank capacity of 51 liters, a full tank allows me to cover just over 500 kilometers, assuming an average urban fuel consumption of around 10L/100km. On weekends, I often take my family on trips, and the tank size is sufficient for medium to long-distance travel without the need for frequent gas station stops. It's advisable not to overfill the tank beyond the full mark to avoid affecting the fuel system, and to regularly check the fuel cap seal to prevent dust and debris from entering. For prolonged parking, it's best to keep at least half a tank of fuel to protect the fuel pump's lifespan. This capacity is quite practical among similar SUVs, making it ideal for experienced drivers like me who prioritize practicality.
