What is the fuel tank capacity of the Volkswagen Lavida?
2 Answers
The Lavida currently has 11 models on sale or about to be launched. The 2022 Lavida model has a fuel tank capacity of 51 liters. It comes with 2 engine displacements: 1.4T and 1.5L, and offers 3 transmission options: dual-clutch, manual, and automatic. The engine delivers a maximum power of 110.0kW, maximum horsepower of 150PS, and maximum torque of 250.0N·m. The vehicle dimensions are 4670×1806×1474mm (L×W×H). Among them, the 2018 Lavida and 2021 Lavida models both have a fuel tank capacity of 51 liters, while the 2019 Lavida has a slightly larger capacity of 52.8 liters. 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 safe fill level, leaving some space from the safe fill level to the tank opening. This space ensures that the fuel can expand when temperatures rise without overflowing. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the marked 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 pointer is near E, it indicates low fuel, while nearing F means the tank is sufficiently full.
I've been driving a Volkswagen Lavida for several years, and its fuel tank capacity is around 55 liters, which is particularly suitable for long-distance travel. Last month during my road trip, a full tank could cover over 500 kilometers, so I didn't have to stop frequently at gas stations. Regular maintenance of the fuel tank is also crucial. I always make sure to tighten the fuel cap properly to prevent dust and moisture from entering and causing corrosion. The size of the fuel tank is closely related to the car's fuel consumption. The Lavida averages around 7 liters per 100 kilometers, so I always set up gas station reminders on my navigation system and refuel when the tank is nearly empty instead of waiting for the warning light to come on. This gives me peace of mind on the highway and reduces unnecessary tire wear. I recommend everyone to regularly check their fuel tank's condition to prolong the vehicle's lifespan, especially during the rainy season to prevent leakage issues.
