What is the fuel tank capacity of the Tiguan L in liters?
2 Answers
Tiguan L currently has 6 models on sale, with a fuel tank capacity ranging between 60-62.5 liters. The vehicle is equipped with a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, and all models feature a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission (DCT). The vehicle lineup offers two drive modes: front-wheel drive and front four-wheel drive. Among vehicles in the same class, the Haval H9 2022 model has an 80-liter fuel tank capacity, the Envision 2022 model has a 60-liter fuel tank capacity, and the Tayron 2022 model also has a 60-liter fuel tank capacity. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the calibrated capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity marked by the manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safe limit level. There is additional space from the safe limit level to the tank opening, which is designed to allow for fuel expansion when temperatures rise, preventing overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the marked tank capacity. To check the remaining fuel level, owners can observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the instrument panel, which is marked with E and F. When the pointer is near E, it indicates low fuel, and when it is close to F, it means the fuel level is sufficient.
I've been driving the Tiguan L for two years, and I remember the fuel tank capacity is around 60 liters, which is quite practical for a midsize SUV. In the city, a full tank can last over 400 kilometers, so I don't have to frequently visit gas stations when picking up the kids or commuting, saving time and hassle. On weekends, when the family goes on outings, we can drive from Shanghai to Hangzhou without needing to refuel midway. With a fuel consumption of 7-8L/100km, the economic pressure is also low. In the car owner groups, people often discuss this, agreeing that a large fuel tank is an advantage of SUVs, especially for long road trips without range anxiety. Of course, don't overfill it—stop when the pump clicks to avoid spillage. The dashboard will remind you to refuel when there's only one bar left. Checking the fuel system during maintenance also ensures system stability and extends the car's lifespan. Overall, this capacity design is quite reasonable.
