How big is a 2007 Toyota Matrix gas tank?


As the owner of Kevin's Autos, a trusted auto service provider in the local community, I'm often asked about the various specifications and details of different vehicle models. One common question is regarding the gas tank capacity of the 2007 Toyota Matrix, a popular compact hatchback. Let's dive into the details.


2007 Toyota Matrix Gas Tank Size


The 2007 Toyota Matrix has a gas tank capacity of 13.2 gallons or 50 liters. This is a standard tank size for a vehicle in the compact hatchback class, providing a good balance between fuel efficiency and driving range.


Factors Affecting Fuel Capacity


It's important to note that the actual fuel capacity of a vehicle can be influenced by a few factors, including:



  • Trim level: Some higher-end trim models may have slightly larger fuel tanks.

  • Drivetrain: All-wheel drive (AWD) models may have a slightly smaller fuel tank to accommodate the additional drivetrain components.

  • Fuel type: Vehicles designed to run on premium fuel may have a slightly larger tank to provide a longer driving range.


However, for the standard 2007 Toyota Matrix models, the gas tank capacity is consistently 13.2 gallons or 50 liters.


Fuel Efficiency and Driving Range


With a 13.2-gallon gas tank, the 2007 Toyota Matrix can provide a respectable driving range, especially when paired with its efficient 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine. The EPA-estimated fuel economy for the 2007 Matrix is 26 mpg in the city and 32 mpg on the highway. This means that with a full tank of gas, you can expect to travel around 340-420 miles before needing to refuel, depending on your driving conditions and habits.


Maintaining proper tire pressure, regular tune-ups, and driving conservatively can help maximize the fuel efficiency and driving range of your 2007 Toyota Matrix. If you have any other questions about your vehicle's specifications or maintenance, don't hesitate to bring it in to Kevin's Autos for a consultation.
