3 Answers
Corolla's fuel tank has a capacity of approximately 50 liters. Below are the relevant details: Introduction: The Corolla is a compact car brand under the Japanese Toyota Group. Since its inception, the COROLLA has won the domestic car sales championship in Japan for 33 consecutive years; internationally, the COROLLA has received high praise in more than 140 countries and regions worldwide. Powertrain: The facelifted Corolla continues to use the 1.6L Toyota 1ZR-FE all-aluminum inline four-cylinder engine. This engine has a displacement of 1.6L, with a maximum power output of 88kW/6000rpm and a peak torque of 152N.m/4400rpm. In terms of transmission, the facelifted model will be equipped with a 5-speed manual and a 4-speed automatic transmission.
I drive a 2013 Corolla, which has a fuel tank capacity of 45 liters and runs on 92-octane gasoline. Once on a long trip, I specifically tested it—when the fuel light came on, filling up to the automatic pump shut-off took about 38 liters, indicating there were roughly 7 liters of reserve fuel left in the tank. Don’t force rounding up when refueling; there’s still space in the tank neck after the pump shuts off, and overfilling can allow gasoline vapors to enter the charcoal canister. For regular city driving, this tank is sufficient, and you can still drive about 70-80 kilometers after the fuel light comes on. However, fuel consumption increases slightly with AC use in summer, so it’s best not to push it too far after the light turns on.
The official fuel tank capacity of the 2013 Corolla is marked as 45 liters, but in actual use, there are several liters of residual fuel at the bottom that cannot be fully utilized. An interesting phenomenon was observed during refueling: when refueling immediately after the yellow warning light comes on, usually only 36-38 liters can be filled. However, after completely running out of fuel, it can take around 43 liters. The fuel filler design of this car is quite convenient, as the standard fuel nozzle automatically stops when the safe filling level is reached. It is recommended not to keep the fuel level below one-quarter for extended periods, as the fuel pump relies on gasoline for cooling, and too little fuel can lead to overheating and damage. Also, remember to tighten the fuel cap properly, as some owners have experienced the engine warning light coming on due to a loose cap.
