What is the fuel tank capacity of the Touran in liters?

The fuel tank capacity of the Touran is 60 liters, as officially announced. The recommended fuel grade for the Touran is 95 octane, with a fuel consumption of 6.9-7.4L per 100 kilometers. A full tank can provide a driving range of 810-869km. During daily driving, it is necessary to constantly monitor the remaining fuel level. This is typically done by observing the fuel gauge inside the vehicle. Under normal circumstances, 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 may exceed the marked capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity specified by the manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safe fill level. There is additional space from the safe fill level to the tank opening, which is designed to allow for fuel expansion due to temperature increases without causing overflow. If the fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual fuel amount may exceed the marked tank capacity.
The Touran's fuel tank is generally around 60 liters, which I find quite suitable for a family car. For daily commutes or grocery shopping, the refueling frequency isn't high—just once a week is enough. I remember driving long-distance from Shanghai to Hangzhou, a one-way trip of several hundred kilometers, and a full tank was more than sufficient. When refueling, don’t fill it up too much to prevent evaporation in summer or excessive tank pressure affecting safety. In terms of fuel consumption, it’s about 8 liters per 100 kilometers in the city and drops to around 6 liters on the highway, meaning you can easily cover 700-800 kilometers on a full tank. During maintenance, checking the fuel tank cap’s seal and pipe connections can prevent leaks, and avoid waiting until the tank is empty to refuel to prevent sediment buildup—it’s both practical and cost-effective.
