How much gas does a Toyota Celica hold?
The Celica’s fuel-tank capacity is not identical across every model year; most versions carry about 55 liters (roughly 14.5 gallons). Exact capacity depends on the generation and market.
In this article, we examine how tank size varies across Celica generations, offer typical figures for common versions, and explain how to verify the capacity for a specific car.
Capacity ranges across Celica generations
Because Toyota released several generations of the Celica, the tank size evolved with design changes, emissions rules, and fuel strategies. While there is no single number that applies to every Celica, the overall range tends to fall between around 50 and 60 liters (13.2 to 15.9 gallons). The most commonly cited value for late-model cars is 55 liters (14.5 gallons).
Late-model Celicas (roughly 1994–2005)
For the 6th and 7th generations, the standard fuel-tank capacity is typically listed as about 55 liters (14.5 gallons). Some market variants or trims may show a small variation, but 55 L remains the common figure.
Earlier generations (1970s–1980s)
Earlier Celicas often used slightly different tanks, with capacities commonly reported in the 50–55 liter range (about 13.2–14.5 gallons). Exact numbers can vary by body style and regional specification.
How to confirm the exact capacity for your car
The most reliable way to know your specific vehicle’s tank capacity is to check the owner’s manual or the fuel-filler door label, which usually lists the tank capacity in liters or gallons. If you’re working with a used car, the VIN and build sheet from Toyota or a dealer can also provide the exact specification. In some cases, third-party sites or a service manual for your year and trim will confirm the capacity as well.
Summary
In summary, a typical Toyota Celica stores around 55 liters (14.5 gallons) of gasoline, especially in the late-model 1990s and early-2000s versions. If you own a Celica from an earlier generation or a regional variant, expect a slightly different figure in the 50–60 liter range. For precision, always verify with the owner's manual or vehicle documentation.
