What is the fuel tank capacity of the Highlander?

The 2022 Highlander comes in 6 models, all with a fuel tank capacity of 65 liters. The entire lineup is equipped with a 2.5L naturally aspirated engine and an electronic continuously variable transmission (E-CVT). The vehicles are available in either front-wheel drive or front four-wheel drive configurations. In the same vehicle class, the BMW X1 has a fuel tank capacity of 61 liters, and the Audi Q3 has a capacity of 60 liters. If owners want to check the remaining fuel level, they can observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the dashboard, which is marked with E and F. When the pointer is close to E, it indicates low fuel, and when it is near F, it means the fuel level is sufficient. Fuel tank maintenance includes the following: Drain accumulated water and sediment from the fuel tank, and check for any oil leaks at the fuel pipe joints and switches. For fuel tank caps equipped with air valves and vapor valves, also ensure that the vent holes are clear. The filter screen at the fuel filler inlet should remain intact to prevent impurities from entering the tank during refueling and clogging the fuel lines. The sealing gasket on the fuel filler cap should also be in good condition to prevent fuel from spilling out while driving.
As a long-time Highlander owner, I drive the 2020 model, and I remember the fuel tank capacity is around 72 liters. A full tank really lasts a long time. For example, I often take my family out on weekends, and the highway fuel consumption is about 8-10L/100km, so one tank can easily cover over 800 kilometers, saving a lot of refueling time. This capacity is quite thoughtful for a family SUV, eliminating worries about running out of fuel during long trips. However, a large tank also has minor drawbacks, like adding a bit of weight and requiring extra caution when parking to avoid curbs. Overall, the 72-liter design strikes a good balance between practicality and efficiency, making it suitable for both urban and rural driving scenarios. If you're considering buying this model, I recommend a test drive to get a feel for its range—different model years might have slight adjustments, but the overall performance is similar.
