How many litres is Lexus ES 300?
The Lexus ES 300 uses a 3.0-litre engine. If you’re asking about fuel capacity, the tank holds around 70 litres, with slight variations by year and market.
Engine displacement
The ES 300 was built with a 3.0-litre V6 engine (engine code 1MZ-FE) across most of its production run. That displacement is the defining “litres” figure associated with the ES 300. In 2004, Lexus shifted the model line to the ES 330 in many markets, which uses a larger 3.3-litre V6 (engine code 3MZ-FE). This means:
- 1992–2003: ES 300, 3.0 L V6 (1MZ-FE).
- 2004 onward in many markets: ES 330, 3.3 L V6 (3MZ-FE).
These displacement values are fixed specifications for the respective generations and define the “litres” associated with the engine size. Horsepower and tuning varied by year and market, but the litre figure remained the same for each generation listed above.
Fuel tank capacity
Beyond engine displacement, many readers ask about how much fuel the car can hold. The ES 300 generally carries a fuel tank around 70 litres (roughly 18.5 US gallons). Actual capacity can vary slightly by model year, trim, or regional specifications, so for exact figures you should consult the owner’s manual or the vehicle’s official specifications for the specific year and market.
- ES 300 (1992–2003 in many markets): typically about 70 L (18.5 gal).
- ES 330 (introduced around 2004 in many markets): typically around 70 L as well, with minor regional variations.
In practice, most sources list a fuel tank capacity in the 68–75 L range depending on the exact market and production year, but 70 L is the commonly cited figure for the ES 300 family.
Notes by market and era
Automakers sometimes adjust tank dimensions for regional emissions, packaging, or fuel-supply considerations. If you need the precise litres for a specific car, locate the VIN and verify the official spec sheet or owner’s manual for that exact vehicle.
Summary
The Lexus ES 300 is defined by a 3.0-litre engine, with a typical fuel tank capacity around 70 litres. The model lineage later evolved into the ES 330 with a 3.3-litre engine, but the “litres” associated with the ES 300’s engine remains 3.0 L across its main production span. For exact figures—especially fuel tank capacity—refer to the specific year and market specifications.
