What is the fuel tank capacity of the Wuling Rongguang 1.2 in liters?

The fuel tank capacity of the Wuling Rongguang-2020 1.2L S Basic Model National VI is 45 liters. It is equipped with a 1.2L naturally aspirated engine and a 5-speed manual transmission (MT). The drivetrain configuration is mid-engine, rear-wheel drive. The front suspension type is MacPherson independent suspension, and the rear suspension type is longitudinal leaf spring. Among vehicles in the same class, the Youyou-2021 1.2L Value Extended Blind Window Cargo 2-Seater LJ469Q-AEB has a fuel tank capacity of 40 liters, while the Wuling Rongguang-2021 1.5L Extended Basic Model L3C also has a fuel tank capacity of 45 liters. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the calibrated capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity marked by automobile manufacturers is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safety limit. There is additional space from the safety limit to the tank opening, which is designed to allow for fuel expansion when temperatures rise, preventing overflow from the tank's safety space. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual refueling amount may be greater than the calibrated fuel tank capacity. To check the remaining fuel level, owners can observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the dashboard, marked with E and F. When the pointer is near E, it indicates low fuel, and when it is close to F, it indicates a sufficient fuel level.
I've been driving my Wuling Rongguang 1.2 model for several years, and its approximately 45-liter fuel tank capacity is perfectly adequate for daily city driving. For my short commutes, a full tank lasts over a week with fuel consumption around 6 liters per 100 km, easily giving a range exceeding 700 km. On long highway trips, I always fill up in advance to avoid running low midway. A reminder: don't wait too long after the fuel light comes on as it damages the fuel pump; occasionally adding fuel system cleaner can also extend tank life. Overall, the 45-liter design is practical, economical, and keeps maintenance costs low—especially suitable for budget-conscious owners like us.
