What is the fuel tank capacity of the Volkswagen Lamando 280?

The fuel tank capacity of the Lamando 2021 facelift 280TSI DSG Comfort Edition is 51L. It is equipped with a 1.4L turbocharged engine and a 7-speed dry dual-clutch transmission (DCT). The drivetrain is front-engine, front-wheel drive. The front suspension is a MacPherson independent suspension, and the rear suspension is a multi-link independent suspension. In the same vehicle class, the fuel tank capacity of the Verano 2022 Pro 533T Lehang Edition is 44L. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the calibrated capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity marked by the manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safety limit. There is additional space from the safety limit to the tank opening, which is designed to allow for fuel expansion due to temperature increases without causing 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 instrument panel, which is marked with E (Empty) and F (Full). When the needle is close to E, it indicates low fuel, and when it is near F, it means the fuel level is sufficient.
The Volkswagen Lamando 280 has a fuel tank capacity of around 50 liters. I've been driving this car for several years, and a full tank usually gets me about 500 kilometers for daily commuting, which isn't particularly large but is quite sufficient. The average fuel consumption is around 7-8 liters per 100 kilometers, and it can be even more economical on the highway. Compared to other cars in the same class, like the Honda Civic which has a slightly smaller fuel tank, the Lamando's design is well-suited for both daily commuting and weekend trips. I recommend not filling the tank to the brim during regular refueling to leave some room for thermal expansion, which can help extend the fuel pump's lifespan. Also, before long trips, it's best to check the fuel tank cap's seal to ensure there's no air leakage. Overall, I feel the fuel capacity of this car is quite standard, and with proper maintenance, the driving experience is very smooth.
