How many miles does a 2016 Toyota Corolla hold?

The 2016 Toyota Corolla has a fuel tank capacity of 13.2 gallons (about 50 liters), which yields an estimated range of roughly 396 miles in city driving, about 528 miles on the highway, and around 449 miles for combined driving on a full tank based on typical EPA estimates.


The question centers on fuel capacity and how it translates into driving distance. Tank size sets the maximum amount of fuel the car can carry, while miles per gallon (mpg) estimates determine how far that fuel can take you. Actual range depends on driving conditions, speed, terrain, and vehicle load.


Fuel capacity and expected range


To convert tank capacity into miles, multiply the 13.2-gallon tank by the car’s mpg. For most 2016 Corollas with the common CVT transmission, EPA estimates are around 30 mpg in city driving and 40 mpg on the highway, with a combined rating near 34 mpg.


Before listing the ranges, note that trims and drivetrain variations can alter mpg slightly, and real-world results will vary with driving style and conditions.



  • Fuel tank capacity: 13.2 gallons (50 liters)

  • Estimated city range: about 396 miles

  • Estimated highway range: about 528 miles

  • Estimated combined range: about 449 miles


In practice, drivers typically see a practical range within this ballpark, with variations driven by traffic, terrain, and how aggressively the car is driven.


Summary


The 2016 Corolla’s 13.2-gallon tank provides an approximate range of 396 miles in city driving, 528 miles on the highway, and about 449 miles when driving under combined conditions, though real-world results will vary by trim, driving style, and conditions.
