How big is the fuel tank on a Toyota C-HR hybrid?

The fuel tank on the Toyota C-HR Hybrid is about 45 liters (11.9 gallons) in the United States; in other markets it typically ranges from about 43 to 50 liters depending on year and trim.


In this article, we break down the typical tank sizes for different markets, explain what those capacities mean for driving range and refueling, and point you to how to verify the exact figure for your specific vehicle.


Tank capacity by market


Market-specific capacities are commonly published by Toyota and can vary by model year and regional specification. The figures below reflect typical listings for recent C-HR Hybrid variants.



  • United States/Canada: 11.9 gallons (45 liters).

  • Europe and other regions: 43–50 liters (11.3–13.2 gallons), depending on the exact model year and trim.


These figures indicate the general range you can expect; always check the official spec for your exact vehicle/year.


Why tank size matters for fuel economy and planning


Fuel-tank capacity influences how far you can travel between fills, especially on long highway trips or when driving in regions with limited refueling options. The C-HR Hybrid's tank size is balanced with its hybrid efficiency to maximize range without excessive bulk.


Practical takeaways for buyers and owners


When shopping for a C-HR Hybrid or planning maintenance, consider the tank size alongside fuel efficiency figures. A larger tank reduces refueling frequency, while a smaller one can save weight and cost in some markets.

For the most accurate figure, confirm the exact specification for your model year and market via Toyota's official materials or your owner's manual.

How many miles can you get out of a Toyota C-HR hybrid full tank?


A full tank shows a predicted range of 340 miles – enough to get me to Devon to see my parents, but only halfway back. It remains one of the best driver's cars in its class, however.



Why did Toyota stop selling the C-HR?


The Toyota C-HR was discontinued in North America after the 2022 model year due to low sales compared to the more popular Corolla Cross, which offers a combination of utility and efficiency. Other factors contributing to its discontinuation included its small interior space, underpowered engine, and the fact that it was only available in front-wheel drive. The Corolla Cross was the more practical choice for buyers and has become the smallest crossover in Toyota's lineup.
 

  • Lower sales: The C-HR never reached the sales figures of competing models, and even the Corolla Cross sold significantly more units when it was introduced. 
  • Practicality issues: The C-HR's stylish, coupe-like design came at the cost of a cramped rear seat and limited cargo space. 
  • Performance: The 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with 144 horsepower was seen as underpowered, and it was only offered in a front-wheel-drive configuration, which was less appealing to consumers looking for more capability. 
  • Internal competition: The Corolla Cross was a more practical and appealing option that cannibalized C-HR sales and offered all-wheel drive, which was a key feature for many buyers. 
  • Product lineup evaluation: Toyota is constantly evaluating its product lineup, and the C-HR's discontinuation made way for other models like the Corolla Cross, which offered a better combination of utility and efficiency for the compact SUV segment. 



What is the most common problem with the Toyota C-HR hybrid?


The most common Toyota C-HR breakdowns involve the hybrid system, especially when the engine won't start or the entire system malfunctions. The 2019 models with 2.0 Hybrid and 1.8 Hybrid powertrains show characteristic symptoms such as error messages in the BSM (Blind Spot Monitor) and PCS (Pre-Collision System).
