How many miles do you get out of a Toyota Corolla?
In broad terms, the gas-powered Corolla averages roughly 33 miles per gallon (mpg) combined, while the Corolla Hybrid pushes into the low 50s mpg. On a full tank, that translates to about 435 miles for the gas version and roughly 590 miles for the hybrid, though real-world results vary with driving conditions and habits.
Fuel economy by powertrain
The EPA ratings provide the official baseline for current models, but real-world mileage depends on factors like driving style, terrain, climate and tire choice. The figures below reflect typical ratings for recent model years.
Gas-powered Corolla (non-hybrid)
Here are the EPA estimates for current gas-only Corollas across common trims.
- City: 30–32 mpg
- Highway: 38–40 mpg
- Combined: 33–36 mpg
Note that exact numbers vary by year, transmission, tires and wheel size.
Corolla Hybrid
Hybrid models deliver higher efficiency, with these EPA estimates for recent generations.
- City: 53 mpg
- Highway: 52 mpg
- Combined: 52 mpg
Hybrid mileage tends to be most consistent in mixed driving; city driving can push numbers around the low to mid-50s.
Range per tank
How far you can go on a full tank depends on tank size and mpg. The following are typical values for recent Corollas:
- Gas-powered Corolla: Tank about 13.2 gallons; at a combined ~33 mpg you’d expect roughly 435 miles per tank; on longer highway trips (around 40 mpg highway) the range can approach about 528 miles.
- Corolla Hybrid: Tank about 11.3 gallons; at about 52 mpg combined you can expect around 590 miles per tank.
Actual range varies with driving conditions, weather, and how you drive.
Real-world mileage factors
Several factors influence mpg in daily use, including driving style, traffic patterns, terrain, climate control use, payload and roof racks. Simple adjustments—steady speeds, proper tire inflation and regular maintenance—can yield meaningful gains.
Summary
For most drivers today, a non-hybrid Toyota Corolla typically returns about 33 mpg combined, while the Corolla Hybrid delivers around 52 mpg combined. On a full tank, expect roughly 435 miles (gas) or about 590 miles (hybrid). Real-world results vary, but these figures provide solid benchmarks for recent models.
