What is the fuel tank capacity of the 12th-generation Crown?

The fuel tank capacity of the 12th-generation Crown (2005 model) is 70 liters, as officially announced by FAW Toyota. The 12th-generation Crown requires 95-octane gasoline, with a fuel consumption of 9.4L per 100 kilometers. A full tank can cover a distance of approximately 745km. During daily driving, it is essential to monitor the remaining fuel level in the tank. This is typically done by observing the fuel gauge inside the vehicle. If there are no other issues, the fuel level will be accurately displayed on the gauge. The fuel gauge usually has 5 to 6 segments, and it is recommended to refuel when only 2 segments remain to avoid running out of fuel mid-journey. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel added may exceed the calibrated capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity specified by the manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safe fill level. There is additional space from the safe fill level to the tank opening, which is designed to accommodate fuel expansion due to temperature increases without causing overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the calibrated tank capacity.
I remember the 12th-generation Crown had a 70-liter fuel tank, which is particularly practical for daily driving, especially for experienced drivers like me who frequently take long trips. A full tank can cover nearly 700 kilometers, with fuel consumption around 10 km/L. Whether it's for outings or business trips, there's no need to worry about wasting time searching for gas stations midway. The fuel tank is located at the rear of the car and is designed very stably—even when full, the car doesn’t sway easily during turns, making it both safe and hassle-free. For city driving, refueling once a week is sufficient, offering much more flexibility than models with smaller tanks while saving both money and time on frequent refueling. Toyota did a thoughtful job with the Crown—this capacity strikes a good balance between space and range, making it highly recommendable.
