How big is a Toyota Solara tank?
A Toyota Solara typically holds about 18.5 gallons (70 liters) of fuel.
The Solara, produced from 1999 to 2008 in two generations, shares its fuel-tank dimensions with the Camry of the era. This article explains the standard capacity, notes potential minor variations, and shows how to verify the exact figure for a specific vehicle.
Typical capacity and what it means for drivers
Before listing the numbers, here is a quick guide: most Solara models use a single standard tank size, though exact capacity can vary slightly by year, trim, and regional specifications. The following facts reflect commonly cited figures.
- Common capacity: 18.5 US gallons (70 liters).
- Engine/trim variations: For 1999–2008 Solara models, the tank size is typically the same across different engines; rounding differences may appear in published specs.
- Platform share: The Solara’s tank mirrors the Camry’s tank from the same generation, aiding consistency across the lineup.
- How to verify: Refer to your vehicle’s owner’s manual or the fuel-filler door label for the exact capacity.
In practice, filling the tank to full typically requires about 18.5 gallons, giving drivers a practical range that depends on fuel efficiency and driving style.
Practical range and fuel economy
Fuel economy varies with engine choice and conditions. Most Solara models achieve roughly the low-to-mid 20s miles per gallon combined (about 22–28 mpg), translating to an approximate cruising range of 400–520 miles per tank under typical usage.
Estimating range for your car
To estimate the range for your specific vehicle, multiply the tank capacity by your average miles per gallon. For example, at 25 mpg on an 18.5-gallon tank, you’d expect about 462 miles of range on a full tank. Real-world range will vary with driving style, terrain, and maintenance.
Summary
The Toyota Solara typically uses an 18.5-gallon (70-liter) fuel tank across 1999–2008 models, with minor regional or rounding variations. For an exact figure, consult the owner’s manual or the fuel-filler door label. With typical driving, this translates to roughly 400–500 miles of range per tank depending on conditions.
