How big is a 2016 Subaru Crosstrek gas tank?
The 2016 Subaru Crosstrek’s gas tank capacity is 16.9 gallons (64 liters).
In practice, the Crosstrek uses a 16.9-gallon tank across most trims for the 2016 model year, a figure that translates directly into estimated driving range and fill intervals. This article explains the official capacity, how it translates into miles per fill, and any caveats readers should know.
Official capacity and unit conversion
Before listing the numbers, here are the capacity details in both gallons and liters so you can compare with local specs.
- Gas tank capacity: 16.9 US gallons (64 liters).
The 16.9-gallon size is the standard specification published by Subaru for the 2016 Crosstrek across most trims, equating to about 64 liters.
Estimated driving range
Because real-world range depends on fuel economy, these estimates use EPA mpg figures for the 2016 Crosstrek and show how a full tank translates into miles.
- Estimated range at EPA combined mpg around 29–30 mpg: roughly 490 miles per tank (16.9 × 29.5 ≈ 499 miles).
- Real-world range varies with driving style, terrain, climate, and cargo; highway driving typically yields higher range than city driving.
These are approximate numbers; actual range can differ based on conditions and maintenance.
Notes and caveats
There is little variation in tank size by trim within the 2016 Crosstrek lineup, but regional fuel blends and fuel gauge calibration can affect displayed range and fill frequency.
Summary: The 2016 Crosstrek uses a 16.9-gallon (64-liter) fuel tank, offering an approximate range in the mid-to-high 400s miles depending on driving conditions. For exact specs, consult the owner's manual or Subaru's official data.
