How many litres is a Honda Civic fuel tank?

In most markets, the Honda Civic's fuel tank holds around 46 litres. The exact figure depends on model year and body style.


Tank size by model and region


Fuel capacity varies by whether you’re looking at a sedan sold in North America or a hatchback sold elsewhere, and by year or trim. Here's a ballpark by common configurations:



  • Sedan (North America): about 46 litres (approximately 12.3 US gallons).

  • Hatchback (Europe and other markets): up to about 50 litres (roughly 13.2 US gallons).

  • Hybrid or other special variants: typically in the mid-to-high 40s litres range.


Note that these figures refer to the total fuel tank capacity and not to the typical fuel range on a full tank, which varies with engine, driving conditions and fuel economy.


How to verify for your specific car


For the exact figure on your Civic, check the fuel door sticker or your owner's manual. Car dealers can also provide the precise tank capacity by VIN or trim.


Practical takeaways


Understanding tank size helps with planning trips, budgeting fuel, and knowing when to refill. If you’re calculating range, combine the rated tank capacity with your vehicle’s official fuel economy figures.


Summary


The typical Honda Civic fuel tank holds about 46 litres in most sedans, with hatchback versions commonly closer to 50 litres in many markets. Confirm the exact capacity for your specific model-year and trim.
