What is the size of a Toyota Corolla fuel tank?

The typical gasoline Toyota Corolla uses a 13.2-gallon (50-liter) fuel tank, though tank size can vary by model year, trim, and market. For hybrids, the tank is generally smaller, and exact capacity should be checked for the specific vehicle.


In detail, many current Corolla gasoline models (sedan and hatchback) share a 13.2-gallon capacity, while the Corolla Hybrid commonly falls around the 11–12 gallon range, with slight differences by generation or region. Always refer to the owner's manual or Toyota's official technical specifications for your exact VIN.

Notes by generation


Tank capacity has been consistently around 13.2 gallons for most gasoline Corolla variants in recent generations, with hybrids typically carrying a smaller tank. For precise figures, always consult the official Toyota specifications for your specific model year and market.


Why tank size matters for range


A larger tank can extend driving range between fill-ups, but real-world range also depends on fuel economy, driving conditions, and how efficiently the engine is operated. Hybrid versions often optimize efficiency, which can influence overall range calculations.
