How big is a 2014 Chevy Cruze gas tank?
The 2014 Chevy Cruze's gas tank holds 13.7 gallons (about 52 liters).
That capacity is standard for the common US-market Cruze sedans equipped with either the 1.8-liter engine or the turbocharged 1.4-liter engine. While the tank size remains consistent across trims, real-world range depends on driving conditions and efficiency.
Fuel-tank capacity: the numbers you need
Below are the key figures and notes that help translate tank size into daily practicality.
- Official fuel-tank capacity: 13.7 gallons (52 liters).
- Typical usage across common trims: the capacity remains effectively the same for the 1.8L and 1.4L turbo engines in US-market Cruzes.
- Practical takeaway: plan for roughly 13.7 gallons of fuel per fill, with some reserve available in the tank.
Before listing the official capacity, it's useful to anchor expectations to the standard figure used in owner manuals and dealer specifications.
In practice, this means drivers can expect a full-tank carry of about 13.7 gallons, translating into a usable range that varies with engine choice and driving style.
Range considerations
Because fuel economy varies by engine, transmission, and driving conditions, the real-world distance you can travel on a full tank will differ. Here are general guidelines to frame expectations.
Before presenting rough figures, note that these are approximate ranges based on typical efficiency for the Cruze in common configurations.
- If the Cruze achieves roughly 28–33 miles per gallon combined, a full 13.7-gallon tank would yield about 380–450 miles of range.
- In more highway-focused or efficient driving, ranges toward the upper end of that band are possible; in city-heavy conditions, the lower end is more typical.
- Actual range will vary with weather, terrain, load, and driving behavior, so monitor the trip computer for the most accurate planning.
Bottom line: the tank itself is 13.7 gallons, but the miles you get before refueling depend on how you drive and which engine you have.
Summary
The 2014 Chevy Cruze uses a 13.7-gallon (52-liter) fuel tank, a standard size across the common US-market trims with either the 1.8L or 1.4L turbo engines. While the tank capacity is fixed, the real-world range on a full tank varies with engine, transmission, and driving conditions. For planning trips, expect roughly a few hundred miles of range and use your vehicle’s trip computer to estimate remaining distance based on current fuel economy.
