What is the fuel tank capacity of the Wuling Zhiguang?

The 2020 Wuling Zhiguang comes in 3 models, all with a fuel tank capacity of 38 liters. All models are equipped with a 1.2L-76 horsepower-L4 engine and a 5-speed manual transmission (MT), featuring a mid-engine rear-wheel drive configuration. In the same vehicle class, the Dongfeng Xiaokang K05S-2019-1.2L Utility Type VI-DK12 has a fuel tank capacity of 40 liters, while the Fengjing V3-2017-1.0L Basic 7-Seater 4W10M1 has a capacity of 45 liters. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the nominal capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity marked by automakers is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safe fill level, with additional space from the safe fill level to the tank opening. This extra space ensures that fuel expansion due to temperature increases does not cause overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual fuel amount may exceed the nominal 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 proximity to F means the tank is nearly full.
The fuel tank capacity of the Wuling Rongguang is generally around 38 liters, which has been crucial in my decade-long experience of driving it. For daily city driving, a full tank can last four to five days, saving both money and hassle. On long-distance trips, you'll need to find a gas station after roughly 400 kilometers, so plan ahead to avoid getting lost. The tank size is quite moderate—not too heavy to affect fuel efficiency—and it's advisable not to overfill it during refueling, leaving some space to prevent expansion and leakage. I also recommend regularly checking the fuel cap's seal and cleaning the fuel inlet to prevent rust and blockages. Combined with the Wuling Rongguang's fuel efficiency—about 7 liters per 100 kilometers for the 1.2L engine—it's a practical choice overall, ideal for small businesses or family transportation.
Our family uses the Wuling Sunshine as a grocery-getter, and its 38-liter fuel tank capacity is very practical. Usually, filling up costs around 300 yuan, which lasts for a week, making it very budget-friendly. When refueling, never exceed the full line; leaving a liter or two of space is safer. I also regularly clean the dirt around the fuel tank to prevent impurities from affecting the fuel pump. The Wuling Sunshine has a spacious cargo area, and the tank size doesn’t compromise its practicality. The average fuel consumption is around 7 liters, and with its good capacity, the range is sufficient. Before long trips, always check the gas station locations to ensure a smooth journey, making driving both worry-free and efficient. It’s a great economical choice.
