How many kilometers can a Toyota Corolla run on a full tank?
3 Answers
Toyota Corolla can run approximately 500 kilometers on a full tank. Taking the 2021 Toyota Corolla as an example, it belongs to the compact car category with body dimensions of: length 4635mm, width 1780mm, height 1455mm, wheelbase of 2700mm, fuel tank capacity of 50 liters, trunk capacity of 426 liters, and a curb weight of 1335kg. The 2021 Toyota Corolla is equipped with a 1.2T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 116PS, maximum power of 85kW, maximum torque of 185Nm, paired with a 10-speed continuously variable transmission.
I've been driving a Corolla 1.2T gasoline version for three years with a 51-liter fuel tank. In city traffic with congestion, it consumes 7 liters per 100 kilometers, giving me a range of approximately 730 kilometers. Last week, I specifically tested it on the highway with the air conditioning on the whole time, and it consumed 5.8 liters per 100 kilometers, allowing a full tank to last over 850 kilometers. My colleague's hybrid version is even more fuel-efficient, easily surpassing 1,000 kilometers on a single tank. Actual mileage still depends on road conditions—for my daily commute involving elevated highways, it's normal to get 70-80 kilometers less than the official figures. Compared to my friend's Sylphy, the Corolla has a 5-liter larger fuel tank but slightly higher fuel consumption, resulting in similar actual range.
Last time I took a road trip in a hybrid Corolla, it left a deep impression. After filling up with 95-octane gasoline, the fuel gauge showed a range of 1,020 kilometers. With the air conditioning on and music playing, four people with luggage drove all the way to Xiamen, and there were still two bars of fuel left upon arrival. However, using the heater in winter is particularly fuel-consuming. Once, when driving a short distance at minus five degrees Celsius, the range dropped to just over 700 kilometers. I suggest not focusing too much on the official fuel consumption data; recording two full tanks yourself is the most accurate. Keeping the trunk light and maintaining tire pressure at 2.5 can significantly improve the range.
