What is the fuel tank capacity of the Volkswagen Golf in liters?
1 Answers
The Volkswagen Golf has a total of 7 models, all with a fuel tank capacity of 51L. Except for the Golf 2021 200TSI-DSG and Golf 2021 200TSI-DSG-Pro, which are equipped with a 1.2L turbocharged engine, and the Golf 2021 380TSI-DSG-GTI, which uses a 2.0L turbocharged engine, all other models are equipped with a 1.4L turbocharged engine. The transmission options include a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission and a 7-speed dry dual-clutch transmission. All models feature a front-engine, front-wheel-drive layout. Models of the Volkswagen Golf prior to the 2021 version have smaller fuel tank capacities compared to the 2021 models. Specifically, the 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020 models all have a 50-liter fuel tank. 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 safe height, and there is additional space from the safe height to the tank opening. This extra space is designed to accommodate fuel expansion due to temperature increases, preventing overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the calibrated tank capacity. To check the remaining fuel level, drivers can observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the dashboard, marked with E and F. When the pointer is near E, it indicates low fuel, and when it is close to F, it means the fuel level is sufficient.
