What is the fuel tank capacity of the Volkswagen Sharan?
2 Answers
The 9 models of Volkswagen Sharan launched after 2019 have a fuel tank capacity of 73 liters, while the 36 models produced from 2004 to 2018 have a 70-liter fuel tank. The Volkswagen Sharan was first introduced in 2004 with a 4-speed automatic and 5-speed manual/automatic transmission design; later, it adopted a 6-speed wet dual-clutch transmission design. In terms of power: the new car is equipped with a 1.8TSI engine, delivering a maximum power of 160 horsepower and a maximum torque of 250 N·m, paired with a 6-speed DSG dual-clutch transmission. The 2019 facelifted Sharan 380TSI Premium 7-seater, 2019 facelifted Sharan 380TSI Flagship 7-seater, 2019 Sharan 380TSI Comfort 7-seater, and 6 other models have a 73-liter fuel tank; the 2018 Sharan 380TSI Comfort 6-seater, 2018 Sharan 380TSI Flagship 6-seater, and 34 other models launched in 2018 and earlier have a 70-liter fuel tank. Fuel tank maintenance is as follows: Drain accumulated water and sediment from the fuel tank, and check for oil leaks at the fuel pipe joints and switches. For fuel tank caps equipped with air valves and steam valves, also check if the ventilation holes are clear. The filter screen at the fuel filler inlet should remain intact to prevent impurities from entering the tank during refueling and clogging the fuel lines. The sealing gasket on the fuel filler cap should also be intact to prevent fuel from spilling out while driving. If the owner wants to know the remaining fuel level, they can observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the dashboard, which is marked with E and F. When the pointer is near E, it indicates low fuel, and when it is close to F, it means the fuel level is sufficient.
I've been driving a Volkswagen Sharan for several years, and I remember the fuel tank size is around 60 liters. Driving in the city, a full tank can last over 400 kilometers, while on the highway, the range can reach around 600 kilometers, which is quite worry-free. I make it a habit to refuel only once a week to avoid frequent trips to the gas station and save time. Once during a long trip, I refueled when the tank was still half full to prevent the fuel pump from overheating and getting damaged. I suggest new car owners ask the salesperson or check the owner's manual to confirm details when buying a car, as there might be slight variations across different model years. Also, sharing a tip: the fuel tank capacity matches well with the car's body size, ensuring a balanced and stable drive. Overall, I find the 60-liter tank sufficient for daily use—practical and reliable, reducing the hassle of frequent stops.
