Fuel tank capacity
Key capacity figure and its consistency across most CT 200h models are provided below.
- Fuel tank capacity: 11.6 US gallons (44 liters).
- Across model years: Standard specification for 2011–2017 US-market CT 200h; minor market variations may occur.
- Unit note: 1 US gallon equals 3.78541 liters.
In practice, the CT 200h’s tank size has remained stable, making it easy to compare EPA figures and plan trips.
Model-year consistency
For most buyers, the 11.6-gallon capacity is consistent from the first model year through the end of production in the US, with only nominal differences in some overseas markets.
Estimated driving range from full tank
With EPA-rated fuel economy around 40–41 mpg combined, a full tank typically yields a range in the mid-400s miles. The math follows the basic formula: range = tank capacity x mpg.
- Estimated range (at 40 mpg): about 464 miles (11.6 x 40).
- Estimated range (at 41 mpg): about 476 miles (11.6 x 41).
- Actual range varies with driving style, terrain, climate control usage, and maintenance.
These figures provide a practical sense of how often the CT 200h owner may need to refuel under typical mixed driving conditions.
Practical takeaways
For daily use, knowing the capacity helps with planning trips, long drives, and refueling intervals. The fixed size also simplifies comparisons with other compact hybrids in the same era.
Summary: The Lexus CT 200h carries a fuel tank capacity of 11.6 US gallons (about 44 liters), generally delivering a driving range around 460–490 miles per tank under mixed driving conditions, with exact range depending on year, trim, and driving behavior.
