What is the fuel tank capacity of the Wuling Rongguang V?

2021 Wuling Rongguang V has 3 models, all with a fuel tank capacity of 45 liters. The entire lineup is equipped with the LAR engine and a 6-speed manual transmission (MT), all models feature a front-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout. In the same vehicle class, the 2018 Foton Gratour ix5 1.2L Utility G03 has a fuel tank capacity of 50 liters, while the 2021 Wuling Hongguang V 1.5L Power Edition LAR also has a 45-liter tank. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the nominal capacity. This is because the manufacturer's specified tank capacity is measured from the tank bottom to the safe fill level, leaving some space from the safe fill level to the tank opening. This space accommodates fuel expansion due to temperature increases without causing overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual fuel quantity may exceed the nominal tank capacity. To check remaining fuel, drivers can observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the instrument panel, marked with E (Empty) and F (Full). When the needle approaches E, it indicates low fuel, while nearing F means sufficient fuel.

I've been driving the Wuling Rongguang V for five years, and its 40-liter fuel tank capacity is quite considerate—neither too large to waste space nor too small to require frequent refueling. For daily city use, a full tank gets me around 500 kilometers, with an average fuel consumption of 7.5 liters per 100 kilometers. It's perfectly sufficient for commuting and grocery shopping, requiring just one refuel per week. However, I'd like to remind everyone not to wait until the fuel light comes on to refuel, as this can cause the fuel pump to overheat and get damaged. Additionally, long-term low fuel levels can lead to impurities clogging the filter, affecting the engine's lifespan. It's advisable to refuel when the gauge drops to a quarter full—this is both convenient and protects the vehicle. In winter, extra caution is needed, as an unfilled tank allows more air inside, which can condense into water droplets and corrode the tank's inner walls.

As a new owner of the Wuling Rongguang V, I checked the official specifications and was pleased to find that the fuel tank has a 40-liter capacity. This significantly reduces my refueling frequency, with each fill-up costing less than 200 yuan. My daily commute of 30 kilometers means a full tank lasts two weeks, completely eliminating the hassle of frequent gas station visits. Most of my friends' compact cars have tanks ranging from 30 to 45 liters, so this 40-liter capacity is just right—not excessive nor insufficient. Additionally, I've learned an economical tip: always refuel at major brand stations where the fuel quality is better, reducing carbon buildup and improving engine efficiency. Never compromise by using inferior fuel to save a few bucks, as clogged fuel system repairs can be extremely costly. For long trips, the full tank provides reliable range and even allows me to help friends transport items.

I drive the Wuling Rongguang V on rural roads and highways, prioritizing safety and practicality. The 40-liter fuel tank is a reasonable size, sufficient to handle emergencies. When the fuel level is too low, the fuel pump may burn out, so I always keep it above half a tank, especially to avoid running out of fuel in remote areas. In terms of fuel consumption, with some cargo, it averages 8 liters per 100 kilometers, and a full tank can steadily cover over 450 kilometers. Economically, this capacity helps me save on annual fuel costs, making it more cost-effective than vehicles with larger tanks. For maintenance, I regularly check the fuel cap's seal to eliminate the risk of leaks. This design enhances the vehicle's balance, reducing the likelihood of rollovers.
