What is the fuel tank capacity of the Volkswagen Lamando 280?
2 Answers
There are 2 models of the Volkswagen Lamando 280, both with a fuel tank capacity of 51L. The vehicles are equipped with a 1.4-liter turbocharged engine and a 7-speed dry dual-clutch transmission across the lineup, with all models featuring front-wheel drive. Among vehicles in the same class, the 2021 Toyota Allion has a fuel tank capacity of 50 liters, the 2020 Chevrolet Orlando has a capacity of 45 liters, and the 2021 Toyota Levin has a capacity of 50 liters. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the calibrated capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity specified by the automaker 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 is designed to allow for fuel expansion when temperatures rise, 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 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 nearly full.
Well, I've been driving this Lamando 280 for over two years now, and I'm quite familiar with its fuel tank capacity. The standard capacity is 50 liters. When filled with either 92 or 95 octane gasoline, it can run about 550 kilometers, dropping below 500 kilometers in city driving with frequent traffic lights. I think it's pretty good; for daily commuting, refueling once a week is sufficient. On the highway, using cruise control saves even more fuel. I recommend avoiding sudden acceleration and maintaining smooth driving to extend the range. Regular maintenance, such as changing the air filter, keeps the fuel system running smoothly and reduces consumption. Before long trips, always check the fuel gauge carefully, and in remote areas, keep a fuel card handy in case there are no gas stations. This way, you save money, stay safe, and drive with more peace of mind.
