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 series is equipped with LAR engines and a 6-speed manual transmission (MT), with all models featuring a front-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout. Among vehicles in the same 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 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 safe limit level. There is additional space from the safe limit to the tank opening, which is designed to allow for fuel expansion when temperatures rise without causing overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual refueling amount may exceed the calibrated tank capacity. To check the remaining fuel level, owners can observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the instrument panel, marked with E and F. When the needle is close to E, it indicates low fuel, and when it approaches F, it means the fuel level is sufficient.
I've been driving the Wuling Rongguang V for over a year now. The fuel tank capacity of this vehicle is approximately 45 liters. I remember the first time I went to the gas station to fill it up, it took some time, with the actual capacity fluctuating around 45 liters. There might be a slight difference of one or two liters between different model years. For city driving, the fuel consumption is about 7 liters per 100 kilometers, so a full tank can cover over 600 kilometers, which is quite durable. On long trips, this capacity is just right, eliminating the need for frequent stops to refuel and saving a lot of hassle. I'd say this design aspect is praiseworthy—spacious enough for cargo and with a sufficiently large fuel tank, making it ideal for small business owners like us who frequently make deliveries. It's important to regularly check the fuel tank cap seal to maintain good condition and prevent leaks. Overall, this capacity strikes a good balance between economy and practicality, with no noticeable shortcomings.
