What is the fuel tank capacity of the Volkswagen Lavida?
2 Answers
The fuel tank capacity of the Volkswagen Lavida is 55L. Here is some information about the fuel tank: 1. In China, the regulation stipulates that the fuel tank capacity should be 95% of the rated value. 2. However, in practice, the actual capacity is usually larger than the nominal capacity, so there is no need to worry about the fuel tank being smaller than the actual size. Below is some extended information about fuel tanks: 1. Fuel tank volume refers to the size of the fuel tank, which measures the amount of fuel a vehicle can hold. The fuel tank volume determines the driving range. For two cars with identical engines, the one with a larger fuel tank can travel farther. The unit of measurement for fuel tank capacity: The international standard uses liters (L) as the unit for measuring fuel tank capacity. Different countries also have their own standards for fuel tank capacity. 2. Depending on the engine displacement and fuel consumption, vehicles with higher fuel consumption have larger fuel tanks, while those with lower fuel consumption have smaller ones. The design of the fuel tank volume generally allows for a driving range of 400-600 kilometers. Lighter vehicles with smaller displacements have correspondingly smaller fuel tanks, while heavier vehicles with larger displacements naturally have larger fuel tanks. However, the maximum distance on a full tank of fuel is mostly between 400-600 kilometers. Generally, small cars have a fuel tank capacity of 35-45 liters, while mid-size cars have a fuel tank capacity of 55-75 liters.
The fuel tank capacity of the Volkswagen Lavida is generally around 51 liters, which is the data I personally tested with my 1.5L automatic comfort version. I remember checking the manual before a long-distance trip last year, and it stated 51L. Filling up a full tank of 92-octane gasoline costs about 300 yuan, enough for me to drive just over 500 kilometers in the city. When refueling, I usually stop when the pump automatically shuts off, never forcing it to the brim, which is better for the fuel evaporation system in the tank. This tank size was quite suitable when choosing the car—not too large to take up space, yet reducing the frequency of gas station visits. However, a quick note: the turbocharged models (with a T) seem to have a slightly smaller fuel tank.
