What is the fuel tank capacity of the 2014 Corolla in liters?

[StAnthony]

According to official data, the fuel tank capacity of the Toyota 2014 Corolla is 55 liters. Owners of the 2014 Corolla can also check this information on the vehicle's configuration sheet. The fuel tank is located at the rear left side of the vehicle. Before refueling, ensure the engine is turned off and all doors and windows are closed. The recommended fuel type is unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 92 or higher. Toyota allows the use of ethanol-blended gasoline with up to 10% ethanol content, provided the octane rating meets the above standards. The 2014 Corolla is a compact car with the following dimensions: length 4630mm, width 1775mm, height 1480mm, wheelbase 2700mm, minimum ground clearance 145mm, and a curb weight of 1265kg. It features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a torsion beam rear suspension. The car is equipped with a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 122PS, a maximum torque of 154Nm, and a maximum power output of 90kW. It is paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. The NEDC combined fuel consumption is 6.3L per 100km, and a full tank can provide a driving range of approximately 500km. The labeled fuel tank capacity is not the actual maximum capacity but the maximum reasonable capacity. A standard fuel tank can typically hold 10% to 15% more fuel than the labeled capacity. For example, a 60-liter tank can hold up to 75 liters. Automakers specify the fuel tank capacity as 60 liters to account for fuel expansion due to temperature changes, ensuring safety and providing sufficient space for fuel expansion. During daily driving, it is essential to monitor the remaining fuel level, usually indicated by the fuel gauge on the dashboard. If there are no issues, the fuel level will be accurately displayed. The fuel gauge typically has 5 to 6 segments, and it is advisable to refuel when only 2 segments remain to avoid running out of fuel. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel added may exceed the labeled capacity. This is because the labeled capacity is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safe fill level, with additional space from the safe fill level to the tank opening. This space accommodates fuel expansion due to temperature increases, preventing overflow. Filling the tank to the opening may result in exceeding the labeled capacity. Other factors affecting fuel consumption include: Vehicle weight: Heavier vehicles consume more fuel. A 10% reduction in weight can lead to a proportional decrease in fuel consumption. Vehicle aerodynamics: A lower drag coefficient reduces fuel consumption, while a higher drag coefficient increases it. Tire pressure: Low tire pressure increases friction and rolling resistance, leading to higher fuel consumption. Driving habits: Aggressive acceleration and frequent braking can significantly increase fuel consumption. Wind direction: Driving with a tailwind reduces fuel consumption, while driving against a headwind increases engine workload and fuel consumption. Road conditions: Driving on flat roads consumes less fuel compared to uneven or steep roads. Additional electronic devices: Using accessories like the air conditioning increases fuel consumption.

I remember the 2014 Toyota Corolla had a fuel tank capacity of 55 liters. I drove this car for a while and felt the fuel tank design was quite reasonable. A full tank could last around 700-800 kilometers, depending on driving habits and road conditions. For example, maintaining a steady speed on the highway would save more fuel, while stop-and-go traffic in the city would consume it faster. I usually kept track of fuel consumption, and the Corolla's 1.6L engine had a combined fuel consumption of 6-7 liters per 100 kilometers. So with a full 55-liter tank, there was no need to worry about frequent gas station visits. If you enjoy long road trips, it could handle 2-3 hours on the highway without refueling, which was quite convenient. I’d recommend not filling the tank to the brim to leave some space for fuel expansion and prevent leaks. Toyota’s fuel systems are generally reliable. Also, compared to the newer Corolla models, the fuel tank capacity hasn’t changed much, but the lightweight design of the newer models might offer better efficiency.
