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

The fuel tank capacity of the Touran L is 60 liters, as officially announced. The Touran L requires 95-octane fuel, with a fuel consumption of 6.0-6.3L per 100 kilometers. A full tank can cover a distance of 952-1000km. During daily driving, it is essential to monitor the remaining fuel level in the tank. This is typically observed through the fuel gauge inside the vehicle. Under normal circumstances, the fuel level is accurately reflected on the gauge. The fuel gauge usually has 5 to 6 segments. 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 added may exceed the calibrated capacity. This is because the manufacturer's specified tank capacity 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 accommodates fuel expansion due to temperature increases, preventing overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount added may exceed the calibrated tank capacity.
The fuel tank capacity of the Touran L is typically around 60 liters, which from my years of driving experience is quite practical. On long trips, such as round trips from Beijing to Shijiazhuang, I don't need to refuel, saving a lot of time from stopping midway. With such a large fuel tank, the range is also good—calculating an average fuel consumption of 8L/100km, it can run about 750 kilometers. I remember the first time I drove this car, I thought its design was reasonable, with the fuel tank positioned low for better stability. However, different models may vary; for example, the 2018 model might have a 62-liter tank, while newer versions maintain 60 liters. For daily driving, I recommend everyone regularly check the fuel tank cap to ensure it's not leaking, and when refueling, avoid filling it to 100%—leave some space for fuel vapor expansion to prevent odor leakage. Before long trips, take a quick glance at the fuel gauge to ensure it's over half full—safety first. Additionally, fuel consumption might be higher in city driving, so controlling your speed can save some fuel and avoid frequent gas station visits that might affect your mood.
