The fuel tank capacity of the 1.5L Wuling Hongguang S is 50 liters, as officially announced. Owners of the 1.5L Wuling Hongguang S can also check this information on the vehicle's configuration sheet. The 1.5L Wuling Hongguang S uses 92-octane fuel, with a fuel consumption of 6.5 to 6.7L per 100 kilometers. A full tank can cover a distance of approximately 746 to 769 kilometers. During daily driving, it is essential to monitor the remaining fuel level in the tank. This is typically done by observing the fuel gauge inside the vehicle. Under normal circumstances, the fuel gauge accurately reflects the remaining fuel. 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 mid-journey. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel added may exceed the marked capacity. This is because the manufacturer's specified tank capacity is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safe fill limit. There is additional space from the safe fill limit to the tank opening, which allows for 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 tank capacity.
My family owns a Wuling Hongguang S1.5, with a fuel tank capacity of around 50 liters, which is quite practical. Normally, a full tank lasts me over a week for daily commuting, covering about 500 to 600 kilometers, depending on road conditions and driving habits. The fuel consumption is not high, with the 1.5L engine averaging just over 7 liters per 100 kilometers, making it quite economical. I often take my family on trips, and even on long drives, I don't worry about the range. When refueling, it's best not to fill the tank completely to leave some space, which helps protect the fuel pump and extend its lifespan. This car is great for both hauling goods and passengers, and the fuel tank size is just right. Maintenance is also hassle-free, with regular check-ups at the service center being sufficient.
As a mechanic who repairs these vehicles daily, I can tell you that the Wuling Hongguang S1.5 typically has a standard fuel tank capacity of around 50 liters. In practical use, a full tank can cover approximately 600-700 kilometers with a normal fuel consumption of 7-8L/100km, making it quite durable. Common issues include fuel cap leaks or deformation affecting the seal. When owners report high fuel consumption, I always check these first. Maintaining a clean fuel tank during servicing and avoiding debris that could clog the pipelines can extend the vehicle's lifespan. The overall design is reasonable, with good wear resistance and strong practicality.
