What is the fuel tank capacity of the Volkswagen Touareg V6 in liters?
2 Answers
The Volkswagen Touareg V6 has a total of 4 models, all with a fuel tank capacity of 90 liters. The vehicles are equipped with two types of engines: a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine and a 3.0-liter turbocharged engine. All models come with an 8-speed automatic transmission and feature front-engine, four-wheel drive. Among its peers, the Macan 2022 Macan 2.0T has a fuel tank capacity of 75 liters. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the calibrated capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity specified by the car manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safety limit, and there is still some space from the safety limit to the tank opening. This space is reserved to allow the fuel in the tank to expand when the temperature rises without overflowing. 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, which is marked with E and F. When the needle is close to E, it indicates that the fuel is nearly empty, while being close to F means the fuel level is sufficient.
As a long-distance road trip enthusiast, I find the Volkswagen Touareg V6's fuel tank truly impressive. With an official capacity of around 80 liters, a full tank easily covers over 700 kilometers, making it perfect for weekend getaways. Last month, I drove from Guangzhou to Xiamen without needing to refuel along the highway, saving a lot of time and hassle. The fuel consumption averages about 11L/100km, and it can last two weeks for daily commutes, reducing refueling frequency and saving money. Although the V6 engine is a bit thirsty, filling up 80 liters costs approximately 650 yuan, but the extended range makes it worthwhile. In the long run, a large fuel tank reduces anxiety, allowing for a more relaxed and enjoyable journey to take in the scenery.
