What is the fuel tank capacity of the Crown car in liters?
2 Answers
The fuel tank capacity of the Crown is 70L, as officially announced by FAW Toyota. The recommended fuel grade for the Crown is 95, with a fuel consumption of 7.1-10.9L per 100 kilometers. A full tank can cover a distance of 945-985km. 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. Under normal circumstances, 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 nominal capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity specified by the car 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 nominal tank capacity.
I've been driving a Toyota Crown for over a decade. The Crown's fuel tank capacity is generally around 70 liters, and my gasoline version has an actual capacity of 72 liters. When filled up, it can easily cover over 600 kilometers on the highway, making it particularly suitable for long-distance trips. In city driving, especially in congested traffic, the fuel consumption is higher, and a full tank typically lasts just over 400 kilometers. While the tank size is fixed, driving habits significantly affect the range—for example, using air conditioning or aggressive acceleration burns fuel faster. It's advisable not to overfill the tank when refueling; leaving some space for thermal expansion is safer. The Crown's fuel tank is made of plastic, which is corrosion-resistant and less prone to issues. Overall, knowing the capacity and planning according to daily commutes makes for a worry-free and cost-effective experience.
