What is the fuel tank capacity of the 2017 Corolla in liters?
2 Answers
The Corolla has a total of 12 models currently on sale. The fuel tank capacity for the 1.8L displacement models is 43 liters, while the remaining models have a fuel tank capacity of 50 liters. This data is officially released, and Corolla owners can also check it on their vehicle's configuration sheet. The Corolla uses 92-octane fuel. The 1.8L displacement models have a fuel consumption of 4 to 4.1L per 100 kilometers, allowing a full tank to cover a distance of 1049 to 1075 kilometers. The remaining models have a fuel consumption of 5.1 to 5.6L per 100 kilometers, enabling a full tank to travel 892 to 980 kilometers. During daily driving, it is essential to monitor the remaining fuel level in the tank. This is typically observed via the fuel gauge inside the vehicle. If there are no other issues, the fuel level will be accurately reflected on the gauge. The fuel gauge usually has 5 to 6 segments, and it is advisable to refuel when only 2 segments remain to avoid running out of fuel midway. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the marked capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity specified by the manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safety limit. There is additional space from the safety limit to the tank opening, which allows for 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 marked tank capacity.
The 2017 Corolla has a 55-liter fuel tank capacity, a figure I remember clearly because my cousin who drove this car often mentioned it. A full tank could last nearly two weeks for urban commuting, and occasional weekend long trips weren't an issue either. If you opted for the more fuel-thirsty 2.0L version, it might drain faster, but most configurations were similar. When refueling, try to avoid peak hours and don't wait until the warning light comes on to avoid getting stranded. At 55 liters, it's not an extra-large tank but rather standard for midsize cars, making it convenient to find gas stations during daily parking. It's advisable to regularly check the fuel gauge and avoid running too low to prevent pump damage. Simply put, this capacity is well-balanced - not so heavy as to drag down performance while meeting commuting needs perfectly.
