The fuel tank capacity of the Wuling Hongguang S1 is 50L. This data is officially released, and owners who have purchased the Wuling Hongguang S1 can also check it on the vehicle's configuration sheet. The fuel grade for the Wuling Hongguang S1 is 92, with a fuel consumption of 6.5-6.7L per 100 kilometers. A full tank can cover a distance of 746 to 769km. During daily driving, it is necessary to always pay attention to the remaining fuel in the tank. Generally, 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 typically has 5 to 6 segments, and it is advisable to refuel when there are only 2 segments left to avoid running out of fuel midway. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the marked capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity marked by the car manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safe limit, and there is still some space from the safe limit to the tank opening. This space is reserved to allow for fuel expansion when temperatures rise, preventing overflow. If fuel is added up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the marked tank capacity.
When I first drove the Wuling Hongguang S1, I noticed its fuel tank capacity was about 45 liters, which is quite practical for daily driving. For example, during my commute to work, with an average fuel consumption of 8 liters per 100 kilometers, a full tank can last over 500 kilometers, saving me the hassle of frequent refueling. On weekends, when taking my family out for a short trip, I don't have to worry about running out of fuel mid-journey, as it can run continuously for four or five hours without stopping. When refueling, I always remind myself not to fill it up too much, leaving some space for thermal expansion to avoid safety issues. Additionally, combined with the S1's economical design, this tank capacity paired with low fuel consumption is particularly friendly for budget-conscious families or small business owners—just a few hundred yuan for fuel can last quite a while. For maintenance, it's advisable to check the fuel level regularly and not wait until the dashboard light comes on. Keeping the tank at least half full helps prolong the fuel pump's lifespan, making long-term ownership much more worry-free. When choosing a car, fuel tank size is a practical consideration, and the S1 does an excellent job in this aspect.
