How big is the gas tank on a Honda HR-V?
The gas tank on most Honda HR-V models is about 13.2 gallons (50 liters). This size is common across recent US models, though exact capacity can vary slightly by year or trim. Check your specific vehicle for the precise number.
What the numbers look like by generation
Below are the typical fuel-tank sizes reported for the HR-V across its two generations in the United States.
- First generation (2016–2022): 13.2 gallons (50 L)
- Second generation (2023–present): 13.2 gallons (50 L)
In practice, the capacity is generally the same across trims, but for a definitive figure consult the owner’s manual or the door placard on the driver's side pillar.
How to verify the exact size for your vehicle
To confirm the precise fuel-tank capacity for your specific HR-V, use these reliable sources:
- Owner's manual for your model year
- Driver’s door jamb placard (fuel-filler door) showing tank capacity
- Honda's official spec sheet or website for your year and trim
- Ask a Honda dealer with your VIN for the exact specification
Relying on the vehicle’s official documentation ensures you have the correct figure for your exact configuration.
Practical notes on range and planning
Estimating your driving range
Fuel-tank capacity is only part of the story. Real-world range depends on driving habits, engine efficiency, and whether you’re cruising on city streets or highways. With an approximate 13.2-gallon tank and typical HR-V efficiency, most drivers can expect several hundred miles per fill, though actual figures will vary.
What affects range
Several factors influence how far you’ll go on a full tank, including your speed, payload, weather, and whether you use eco mode or aggressive acceleration. Fuel economy numbers from the EPA can vary by drivetrain and trim.
Always plan trips using your own average miles per gallon and the known tank size, and reset your trip computer to track real-time efficiency.
Summary
The Honda HR-V generally uses a 13.2-gallon (50-liter) fuel tank across its major US model years. For exact capacity, consult the door placard, owner's manual, or a Honda dealer with your VIN.
