What is the fuel tank capacity of the Touran L?
2 Answers
The currently available Touran L comes in 6 models, all with a fuel tank capacity of 60 liters. The vehicle is equipped with a 1.4-liter turbocharged engine and a 7-speed dry dual-clutch transmission (DCT) across all variants, with a front-engine, front-wheel-drive configuration. In the same vehicle class, the Buick GL6 2021 model has a fuel tank capacity of 45 liters, the Refine M5 2021 model has a 70-liter tank, and the Aphy 2020 model has a 65-liter tank. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel filled may exceed the nominal 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, with additional space from the safe fill level to the tank opening. This extra space allows for fuel expansion due to temperature increases without causing overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount may exceed the nominal capacity. To check the remaining fuel level, drivers can observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the instrument panel, marked with E (Empty) and F (Full). When the needle is near E, it indicates low fuel, while proximity to F means the tank is sufficiently full.
As a long-term owner of the Touran L, based on my daily driving experience, this car has a fuel tank capacity of 60 liters. For regular city commuting, a full tank can easily cover around 650 kilometers. Given my weekly driving distance of 300 kilometers, refueling once every two weeks is generally sufficient. In heavy traffic or frequent stop-and-go conditions, fuel consumption rises slightly to 8L/100km, resulting in a somewhat shorter range, so I try to use the eco mode during rush hours to save fuel. When refueling, I prefer gas stations near supermarkets where I can exchange points for discounts to save some money. Additionally, the Touran L's fuel tank design is quite convenient—the filler neck is positioned toward the rear to avoid splashing dirt on the car body. Overall, the 60-liter capacity meets family car needs well, and those who don’t frequently take long trips don’t need to worry about refueling frequency.
