What is the fuel tank capacity of the Tiguan L330 in liters?
2 Answers
The Tiguan L330 currently has 4 available models, with a fuel tank capacity ranging between 60-62.5 liters. The vehicle is equipped with a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine and a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission (DCT) across all models. The drivetrain options include front-wheel drive and front-biased all-wheel drive. Among its peers, the Haval H9 2022 model has an 80-liter fuel tank, the Envision 2022 model has a 60-liter tank, and the Tayron 2022 model also features a 60-liter fuel tank capacity. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel filled may exceed the nominal capacity. This occurs because automakers specify the tank capacity from the bottom to the safety limit level, while there's additional space between the safety limit and the tank opening. This reserve space accommodates fuel expansion due to temperature increases without causing overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual fuel quantity will exceed the nominal capacity. To check remaining fuel, owners can observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the instrument cluster, marked with E (Empty) and F (Full). When the needle approaches E, it indicates low fuel level, while nearing F shows sufficient fuel supply.
I am the owner of a Volkswagen Tiguan L330 and have been driving it for almost two years. The fuel tank capacity is around 60 liters. This design is quite suitable for daily commuting. For example, my round-trip commute is 30 kilometers per day, and a full tank can last over two weeks, covering at least 400 kilometers, which saves me the hassle of frequent refueling. It performs even better on long highway trips—a full tank is enough for a round trip from Shanghai to Nanjing with some to spare, and with an average fuel consumption of 8L/100km, the range easily exceeds 750 kilometers. I usually recommend not waiting until the fuel indicator light comes on to refuel; it’s safer to keep some reserve to avoid running out of fuel midway or damaging the fuel pump due to overheating. Additionally, the fuel tank material is durable and corrosion-resistant, and regular cleaning is hassle-free. Just remember to choose reputable gas stations to avoid impurities.
