What is the fuel tank capacity of the Lexus ES300h in liters?
2 Answers
2021 Lexus ES300h has 5 models on sale, all with a fuel tank capacity of 50 liters. The car is equipped with a 2.5L naturally aspirated engine and an electronic continuously variable transmission. In the same class, the Cadillac CT6 Fashion model has a fuel tank capacity of 72 liters, while the Lexus ES200 Excellence model has a fuel tank capacity of 60 liters. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the calibrated volume. This is because the fuel tank capacity marked by the car manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safe limit, and there is still some space from the safe limit to the tank opening. This space is reserved to allow the fuel in the tank to expand when the temperature rises without overflowing the tank's safe space. If fuel is added up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual refueling amount may exceed the calibrated tank capacity. If the owner wants to know 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 means the fuel is almost empty, and when it is close to F, it means the fuel level is sufficient.
I remember when I first bought the Lexus ES300h, I was curious about how much fuel the tank could hold, and I found out it was 65 liters. At first, I didn’t think it was particularly large, but after driving it, I realized how fuel-efficient the hybrid system is—consuming only 5.5 liters per 100 kilometers. A full tank can take me over 1,000 kilometers, making trips to the suburbs worry-free about refueling. As a new owner, I often go on road trips, and driving on highways for a week barely requires stopping at gas stations, which is perfect for weekend travelers. During regular maintenance, it’s also important to check the fuel line seals. Saving fuel is one thing, but don’t let small issues steal your fuel—safety comes first.
