Fuel system — tank, range, octane, gauge

Tags: #octane

Tank capacity and range: official/nominal tank capacity is 58 L, but the tank holds approximately 62 L when completely full — the discrepancy is attributed to a manufacturing safety margin. Practical range in ECO mode reaches 700+ km on the highway at 100–130 km/h. With headwind and high speed (110–130 km/h), real-world consumption is roughly 9.7–10 L/100 km.^{1234567891011121314}

Fuel grade: the 2.0 L engine with slight chip tuning requires 95 octane fuel — 92 octane is reported as unsuitable for modified/tuned engines.¹⁵

Fuel gauge accuracy: the dashboard fuel gauge (graphic bar with symbols) displays the actual remaining fuel level, read from the float sensor — it is not an estimate ("ориентировочное") based on consumption patterns. Confusion about this arises when the float sensor itself is faulty: the resulting symptoms are a sensor/gauge malfunction, not evidence that the gauge is an "estimation" feature.¹⁶¹⁷¹⁸
