The fuel tank capacity of the Wuling Rongguang-2021 1.5L Extended Basic Model L3C is 45L. It is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine and a 5-speed manual transmission (MT). The drivetrain is mid-engine, rear-wheel drive. The front suspension is a MacPherson independent suspension, and the rear suspension features longitudinal leaf springs. 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 40L, while the Wuling Rongguang-2021 1.5L Extended Basic Model L3C has a 45L tank. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the calibrated capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity specified by the manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safe limit. There is additional space from the safe limit to the tank opening, which is designed to allow 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 calibrated tank capacity. To check the remaining fuel level, drivers can observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the instrument panel, marked with 'E' and 'F'. When the needle is near 'E', it indicates low fuel, while nearing 'F' means the tank is nearly full.
The standard fuel tank capacity of the Wuling Rongguang 1.5 is approximately 43L. Based on my experience, this is a reasonably designed capacity. When driving this vehicle for urban commuting, a full tank can cover around 450 kilometers, with an average fuel consumption of 9L/100km, which is perfectly sufficient for daily use. The fuel tank is well-integrated with the chassis, not occupying interior space, ensuring practicality. However, I must remind you to refuel regularly and avoid running on empty to prevent damage to the fuel pump. High-speed driving or full loads can affect the actual range. It's best to check the manual for specific capacity differences between model years, but overall, it's an economical choice.
