The Qoros 5 does not have a fuel tank switch. After the central locking is engaged, the fuel filler door cannot be opened. When the central locking is unlocked, simply press the fuel filler door to open it. The Qoros 5 is a compact SUV with body dimensions of 4600mm in length, 1869mm in width, and 1676mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2710mm. In terms of power, the Qoros 5 is equipped with a 1.6-liter turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 115kW and a maximum torque of 210Nm, with the maximum power achieved at 5500 rpm. This engine is paired with either a 6-speed manual transmission or a 6-speed dual-clutch transmission.

I've been driving the Qoros 5 for a while now, and the fuel tank release is actually located on the driver's side door handle, specifically on the door trim panel. There's usually a small lever or pull ring there—just give it a tug to open the fuel filler cap. I remember my first time refueling, I was fumbling around the seats and dashboard before realizing how ergonomically placed it was. Always remember to turn off the engine before operating it; never open the cap while the engine is running due to fire risks. If it gets stuck occasionally, it might be due to a loose lever or dirt buildup—a gentle tap or some WD-40 lubrication usually does the trick. Keeping the interior clean long-term helps prevent these minor glitches. Once you locate that little mechanism, refueling becomes much smoother.

As an enthusiast of Qoros models, the fuel tank switch for the Qoros 5 is typically located on the driver's door panel, right next to the door handle, featuring a dedicated button or lever. The design is quite ingenious—just press or pull to pop open the fuel cap. I've also noticed its placement is similar to other car models, such as those commonly found in German vehicles. For regular use, it's advisable to check the door lock status casually to ensure the switch isn't stuck; before refueling, turn off the engine to prevent fuel evaporation and waste. If the switch malfunctions, it's often due to a blown fuse or an electrical issue—try restarting the car first, and if that doesn't work, visit a professional repair shop. Regular maintenance can help extend the lifespan of small components.

The first time I used the Qoros 5, I couldn't figure out where the fuel tank switch was. Later, I found out it's a pull ring on the inner side of the driver's door, which is intuitive and easy to locate. Just reach your hand to the door handle after sitting down, give it a gentle pull, and the fuel tank cap will open. The operation is simple and straightforward—just remember to turn off the engine for safety when refueling. If it doesn't pull easily, don't force it; a bit of dust might be the issue, so just clean it. Additionally, similar car models usually have the switch designed in an easily accessible spot, making it convenient for refueling during long trips.
