How big is the Acura ILX gas tank?

The standard fuel tank on the Acura ILX is 13.2 gallons (50 liters). This capacity is consistent across most model years and engine options, offering a practical balance for a compact luxury sedan.


Official capacity across the ILX lineup


The following reflects the commonly cited capacity for ILX variants over its production run. While minor rounding or testing differences can appear in some sources, Acura’s official specification centers on 13.2 gallons (50 L).



  • 2013–2018 ILX: 13.2 gallons (50 L)

  • 2019–2020 ILX: 13.2 gallons (50 L)


Note: Some listings may show slightly different numbers due to rounding or measurement conventions, but 13.2 gallons is the standard figure cited by Acura for the ILX.


What that means for range and daily driving


Fuel tank capacity is not the same as range. The actual distance you can travel on a full tank depends on the engine, transmission, drivetrain, and your driving style. To estimate range, multiply the tank capacity by the vehicle’s miles-per-gallon rating for your typical driving conditions.



  • With a combined fuel economy around 30 mpg, a full 13.2-gallon tank yields roughly 396 miles of range (13.2 × 30).

  • With higher efficiency around 40 mpg, the same tank could offer approximately 528 miles (13.2 × 40).


In real-world driving, actual range will vary based on city vs. highway driving, traffic, climate control usage, and driving habits.


Practical notes for buyers and owners


When planning refueling stops, rely on the 13.2-gallon capacity as your baseline and monitor the car’s gauge along with your typical MPG. Consistent driving habits and maintenance can help maximize range per tank.
