What is the fuel tank capacity of the Volkswagen Santana Zhijun?
2 Answers
The Volkswagen Santana Zhijun offers 18 models with a fuel tank capacity of 60 liters. The Volkswagen Santana Zhijun is a 5-seater sedan, equipped with either a 1.8L or 2.0L engine. Not only does it deliver excellent performance, but it also boasts outstanding fuel efficiency. The 2.0L automatic transmission model has a fuel consumption of only 7.2L/100km at a constant speed of 90km/h, while the 1.8L manual transmission model is even lower at 6.6L/100km, significantly better than other models in the same class. In comparison, the 2022 Bestune B70 2.0T Automatic Zhixiang model in the same class has a fuel tank capacity of 50 liters. Methods to open the fuel tank: Mechanical key: This method is usually found on some rugged off-road vehicles. Most modern family cars do not use mechanical keys to open the fuel tank due to the relative complexity of the process. In-car switch: The location of the in-car fuel tank switch varies by model. It may be on the floor to the left of the driver's seat, on the left front door panel, or on the center console. It is typically marked with a fuel pump icon. However, it's important to note that using the in-car switch can sometimes lead to forgetting to turn off the engine before refueling, so drivers should always remember to turn off the engine before refueling. Press-to-open method: The press-to-open fuel tank door is currently the most convenient method. The driver simply needs to park the car, and the fuel attendant can press to open the fuel tank for refueling. However, when not refueling, drivers should always lock the central control to prevent the fuel tank cap from being opened accidentally. 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' and 'F'. When the needle is close to 'E', it indicates that the fuel is running low, while nearing 'F' means the tank is full.
After driving the Volkswagen Santana for so many years, I remember its fuel tank capacity is about 55 liters, which is quite standard for a family car. For daily city commuting or weekend outings, a full tank can last several days, especially with decent fuel efficiency – the range is quite practical. When I first bought the car, I tested it and found it could run around 500 km in pure city driving, with even more on highways, depending on driving habits. I prefer using more economical 92-octane fuel to save money and match the engine. Avoid driving long distances with a half-empty tank; filling up in advance is much more convenient. Also, don’t neglect regular maintenance of the fuel system and ensure the tank is properly sealed.
