What is the fuel tank capacity of the Touran L in liters?
2 Answers
There are currently 6 models of the Touran L available for sale, all with a fuel tank capacity of 60 liters. The vehicle is equipped with a 1.4-liter turbocharged engine and features a 7-speed dry dual-clutch transmission (DCT) across all models. All variants adopt a front-engine, front-wheel-drive layout. Among vehicles in the same class, the Buick GL6 2021 model has a fuel tank capacity of 45 liters, the Refine M5 2021 model holds 70 liters, and the Aphy 2020 model has a 65-liter fuel tank. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel filled may exceed the calibrated capacity. This occurs because automakers specify the tank capacity from the bottom to the safety level, while there's additional space between the safety level and the tank opening. This space ensures safe expansion of fuel when temperatures rise, preventing overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual fuel quantity may exceed the specified tank capacity. To check remaining fuel levels, owners can observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the instrument panel, marked with E (Empty) and F (Full). When the needle approaches E, it indicates low fuel, while nearing F signifies sufficient fuel levels.
I've been driving the Touran L for two years now, and it has a fuel tank capacity of 50 liters. When filled up, for daily commuting on city roads with a fuel consumption of about 7.5 liters per 100 kilometers, it can run 500 to 600 kilometers; on highways, the fuel consumption drops to just over 6 liters, extending the range to 700 kilometers, which feels very practical. For my family, who enjoys road trips, a full tank can take us from Beijing to Qingdao without refueling, saving time and effort. I only need to refuel twice a month, which is sufficient and doesn't disrupt my daily routine with frequent gas station visits. Volkswagen's design considers balance, with the fuel tank located on the left rear side, making refueling convenient without affecting trunk usage. Overall, the 50-liter tank size is moderate, both economical and safe, and reminds owners to check the fuel system during each maintenance service.
