How much gas can a Toyota Solara hold?

Most Toyota Solara models hold about 18.5 gallons (70 liters) of gasoline in the tank, a capacity that applies to both generations of the Camry Solara produced from 1998 to 2008, the period during which the model was sold in most markets.


Tank capacity by generation


The Solara was produced in two generations. Here are the typical fuel tank capacities for each generation.



  • First generation (1998–2003): 18.5 gallons (70 L)

  • Second generation (2004–2008): 18.5 gallons (70 L)


In practice, 18.5 gallons is standard across the lineup, but regional variations or a manufacturer label can cause small differences. When in doubt, check the fuel door label or the owner's manual for your exact vehicle.


Practical considerations


Knowing the tank size helps estimate range between fills, but actual range depends on driving style and engine choice. The Solara offered multiple engines, but fuel economy in this era typically ranged from the low- to mid-20s miles per gallon on combined driving, with variations by transmission and drivetrain.


Driving range estimate


With a standard capacity of 18.5 gallons and typical combined economy roughly 22–28 mpg, a Solara can cover approximately 400–520 miles per tank under normal driving conditions.


Summary: The Toyota Solara's fuel tank capacity is commonly 18.5 gallons (70 liters) across its two generations, giving drivers a practical range of roughly 400–520 miles per tank depending on engine, transmission, and driving conditions.
