How many gallons does a 2004 Lexus RX330 hold?

The RX330's fuel tank capacity is about 19.5 US gallons (74 liters).


This article explains the official capacity, how it translates to driving range, and practical notes for owners of the 2004 RX330, a midsize crossover that debuted in the early 2000s.


Official fuel tank capacity


Before listing the exact figure, it’s useful to note that Lexus and automotive databases consistently publish a single capacity value for this model year. The following points provide the core numbers and context for planning fuel stops.



  • Fuel tank capacity: 19.5 US gallons (approximately 74 liters)

  • Design implication: this capacity supports a reasonable driving range for a 3.3L V6 crossover of its era

  • Consistency: the 2004 RX330 (standard configuration) generally shares this capacity across the model year


In practice, some sources may round to 19–20 gallons in casual references, but the official specification is commonly listed as 19.5 gallons.


Driving range considerations


With typical fuel economy for the RX330 in the low to mid-20s miles per gallon under moderate driving, a full 19.5-gallon tank yields a broad theoretical range. Real-world range varies with speed, terrain, cargo load, and driving habits.


Notes on variations


All RX330s from that generation share the same fuel-tank capacity, but aftermarket modifications or nonstandard replacements could affect capacity. For precise figures on a specific vehicle, consult the owner’s manual or the dealership records tied to the vehicle’s VIN.


Summary: The 2004 Lexus RX330 holds approximately 19.5 gallons of fuel, which translates into a substantial driving range for its class when driven under typical conditions. Confirm on your vehicle’s manual or with Lexus if you need the exact specification for a particular car.
