How many kilometers can a Corolla travel on a full tank of fuel?
2 Answers
Under normal circumstances, the Corolla's combined fuel consumption is 5.5L/100km, so a full tank can travel approximately 909 kilometers. Below is some relevant information about the Corolla: 1. Powertrain: Equipped with a 9NR-FTS engine and a 10-speed continuously variable transmission. 2. Body dimensions: Length, width, and height are 4635mm, 1780mm, and 1455mm respectively. The wheelbase is 2700mm, front track is 1527mm, and rear track is 1526mm. 3. Chassis: The drivetrain is front-engine, front-wheel drive, with a MacPherson strut front suspension and an E-type multi-link independent rear suspension.
Take my Corolla as an example. The fuel tank capacity is around 45 liters, with an average fuel consumption of about 7 liters per 100 kilometers. A simple calculation shows a full tank can cover over 650 kilometers. However, this isn't a fixed value and can be influenced by many factors. For instance, on highways with lower wind resistance and good road conditions, consumption can drop to 6 liters, extending the range beyond 700 kilometers. In city traffic jams where consumption rises above 8 liters, the range drops to just over 600 kilometers. Vehicle age is also crucial – new cars have more efficient engines, and hybrid versions are even more economical, sometimes nearing 1,000 kilometers. Older vehicles with engine wear or tire degradation will see significantly reduced range. I recommend checking the official manual to confirm tank size and monitoring the fuel gauge during daily driving. Avoiding heavy loads or running air conditioning at full power during long trips can save considerable fuel. Actual mileage often fluctuates, but overall the Corolla is quite robust and adaptable.
