What is the fuel tank capacity of the Camry?

The Camry has a total of 10 models currently on sale. Among them, the hybrid versions—2.5HQ Flagship, 5HGVP Leading, 2.5HS Sport, and 2.5HG Luxury—have a fuel tank capacity of 49 liters, while the remaining models have a fuel tank capacity of 60 liters. This data is officially published. The Camry uses 92-octane fuel. The hybrid versions—2.5HQ Flagship, 5HGVP Leading, 2.5HS Sport, and 2.5HG Luxury—have a fuel consumption of 4.1L per 100km, allowing a range of 1,195km on a full tank. The other models have a fuel consumption of 5.5 to 6.0L per 100km, providing a range of 1,000 to 1,090km on a full tank. 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 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 mid-journey. In actual refueling situations, 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 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 marked capacity.
I'm a long-time owner of the 7th generation Camry, which has a 66-liter fuel tank. When the yellow warning light comes on, I can usually fill up about 55 liters. On highways, a full tank can cover over 800 kilometers. Actually, fuel tank capacities vary slightly across different model years—for example, the hybrid version in North America has a smaller tank. I'd advise against waiting until the warning light comes on to refuel since the fuel pump relies on gasoline for cooling, and frequently running on low fuel can damage it. Before long trips, I add a bottle of fuel additive to clean carbon deposits and improve fuel efficiency—it really works based on my experience!
With ten years of experience in auto repair, I often get asked about fuel tank capacities. For the Camry, it's generally in the 60-70 liter range. Gasoline models typically have around 66 liters, while hybrid versions shrink to about 50 liters due to battery placement. When the pump automatically stops (first click), you can usually fill up to approximately 58 liters - tanks are designed with expansion space in mind. My professional advice: avoid overfilling, especially in summer when fuel expansion may cause leaks. Stopping at the first click is safest. Always remember to check the fuel cap seal's condition during refueling.
I've been driving a Camry Hybrid for three years now, and its fuel tank is smaller than the gasoline version, only 50 liters. But it's really fuel-efficient! For city commuting, it consumes 4.8 liters per 100 kilometers, and a full tank can run over 1,000 kilometers. When refueling, be careful not to use mixed gasoline. Some small gas stations mix 92 and 95 octane fuels, which is particularly harmful to hybrid engines. The rotating cap design on the fuel filler is quite thoughtful—if you forget to close it, the dashboard will alert you. The newer models seem to have moved the fuel tank position slightly towards the rear, making the back seats more comfortable.
