What is the fuel tank capacity of the Wuling Rongguang Extended Version in liters?
2 Answers
The 2021 Wuling Rongguang Extended Version has a total of 9 models, all with a fuel tank capacity of 45 liters. The entire series is equipped with an L3C engine and a 5-speed manual transmission (MT), with all models featuring a mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive configuration. Among vehicles in the same class, the Wuling Hongguang-2021-1.5L-S Basic Model LAR has a fuel tank capacity of 50 liters, while the Dongfeng Xiaokang C36-2019-1.5L Basic Model II National VI-DK15 has a fuel tank capacity of 55 liters. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the calibrated capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity marked 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 dashboard, which is marked with E and F. When the needle is close to E, it indicates low fuel, while proximity to F indicates sufficient fuel.
The fuel tank capacity of the Wuling Rongguang Extended Version is usually around 45 liters. I've been driving this car for many years, and each full tank typically lasts about 500 kilometers, depending on how aggressively you drive. During summer with the air conditioning on or in traffic jams, the fuel consumption is higher, making the tank feel insufficient. However, on highways, it's more fuel-efficient and can go a bit further. I recommend new owners get a fuel card and fill up all at once to save money and hassle—don't wait until the fuel light comes on, as it can damage the fuel pump. This car is designed for hauling goods and passengers, offering great value for money with a moderate capacity. Just remember to regularly check the fuel line seals to prevent leaks—small details like this can extend the car's lifespan.
