How many gallons are in a RC 350?
The Lexus RC 350 typically carries about 17.4 gallons (65.9 liters) of fuel in its tank. The exact figure varies by model year, trim and regional market, so check your owner’s manual or the door-jamb sticker for the precise capacity on your car.
Official capacity and what it means for drivers
Fuel tank capacity is a nominal specification that sets the maximum amount of fuel a vehicle can hold. The RC 350’s tank is designed to balance performance with range, and the usable fuel may be slightly less than the nominal capacity once you account for reserve and fuel-sensor inaccuracies. Below are the typical figures reported for common RC 350 configurations.
Note: The numbers below are representative values and can vary by year and market.
- US-market Lexus RC 350: about 17.4 gallons (65.9 liters).
- Other markets and certain model years: commonly cited around 65–66 liters (roughly 17.2–17.4 gallons).
- In some early or niche configurations the capacity may be listed differently; always verify with the owner's manual or the vehicle's door sticker.
In practice, most drivers can expect a usable range of roughly 400–435 miles per tank, depending on driving style and conditions.
Practical range and driving considerations
Fuel economy for the RC 350 typically lands in the mid-20s mpg combined, though figures vary by year, drivetrain (rear-wheel drive vs all-wheel drive), and driving conditions. Translating a 17.4-gallon tank at different mpg yields a rough range: closer to 350–420 miles in city-heavy cycles and around 420–480 miles on long highway cruises. Always drive with awareness of fuel gauge behavior, especially on longer trips where reserve fuel may vary.
How to confirm the exact capacity for your car
To obtain the precise tank capacity for your Lexus RC 350, consult:
- Your owner's manual
- The tire and loading information placard on the door jamb
- Lexus official specifications for your model year
These sources will give you the exact nominal capacity and any market-specific variations.
Summary: The Lexus RC 350 typically has a fuel tank capacity around 17.4 gallons (65.9 liters), with small variations by year and market. This translates to an approximate driving range of 400–435 miles under common driving conditions, though real-world range depends on driving style, terrain, and maintenance.
