What is the fuel tank capacity of the Volvo S60 in liters?
2 Answers
Volvo S60 currently has 5 models on sale, with a fuel tank capacity of 58L. This data is officially released, and owners who have purchased the Volvo S60 can also check it on the vehicle's configuration sheet. The Volvo S60 has a length of 4715mm, width of 1866mm, and height of 1481mm, with a wheelbase of 2856mm. It is powered by a B4 turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum output of 197 horsepower and a peak torque of 300N·m. It can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 8 seconds and has a top speed of 180 km/h. During daily driving, it is essential to monitor the remaining fuel level in the tank. Typically, this is observed through the fuel gauge inside the vehicle. If there are no other issues, the fuel level will be accurately reflected on the gauge. The fuel gauge usually has 5 to 6 segments, and it is advisable to refuel when only 2 segments remain to avoid running out of fuel midway. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel added might exceed the marked capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity specified by the manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safe fill level. There is additional space from the safe fill level to the tank opening, designed to accommodate fuel expansion due to temperature increases without causing overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the marked capacity.
As an automotive enthusiast, I've driven quite a few Volvo models, including the S60. Its fuel tank capacity is typically around 60 liters, with actual refueling volumes ranging from 59 to 62 liters depending on the model year. For my city commuting needs, a full tank gives me a range of 500 to 600 kilometers, thanks to Volvo's fuel efficiency optimization, with average consumption between 8-10 liters per 100 km. During long-distance road trips, tank size directly impacts convenience; the 60-liter design eliminates frequent refueling stops, making highway driving particularly worry-free. I consider fuel tank dimensions crucial when choosing a vehicle - models with undersized tanks requiring high refueling frequency can be quite bothersome. The S60's entire fuel system maintains stable performance, with fuel filter attention during maintenance being the key point. Ultimately, the 60-liter capacity represents a practical sweet spot that, combined with the S60's comfortable driving dynamics, makes it equally suitable for daily use or extended journeys.
