What is the fuel tank capacity of the Tiida in liters?
2 Answers
The 2009 Tiida 1.6L Automatic Technology Edition has a fuel tank capacity of 52L. It is equipped with a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine and a 4-speed automatic transmission (AT). The drivetrain is front-engine, front-wheel drive. The front suspension is a MacPherson strut independent suspension, and the rear suspension is a torsion beam rear suspension with a stabilizer bar. In the same vehicle class, the 2021 Envix Hybrid 1.5L has a fuel tank capacity of 40L, while the 2021 Tiida 1.6L Manual Joy Edition has a fuel tank capacity of 50L. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the calibrated 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 designed 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 quantity may exceed the calibrated tank capacity. To check the remaining fuel level, drivers can observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the instrument panel, marked with 'E' and 'F'. When the needle is near 'E', it indicates low fuel, while near 'F' means the tank is nearly full.
When I drive this Tiida, after the fuel gauge light comes on and I fill up at the gas station, it usually takes about 52 liters. I’ve paid special attention before when driving on highways—this capacity is above average for compact cars, and a full tank can generally run over 500 kilometers. However, it’s advisable not to wait until the fuel gauge hits the red line to refuel, as the fuel pump can easily overheat and get damaged. In summer, it’s safer not to fill the tank completely, leaving some room for expansion. For daily city commuting, refueling once a week is usually sufficient. The recommended fuel grade is indicated on the inside of the fuel cap—following the manufacturer’s instructions makes things easier.
