What is the fuel tank capacity of the old Corolla model?

The 2018 old Corolla model has 3 variants with fuel tank capacities of 45 liters and 53 liters. The vehicle is equipped with a 1.8L naturally aspirated engine and a 1.2T turbocharged engine, with all models featuring an Electronic Continuously Variable Transmission (E-CVT) and an 8-speed Electronic Continuously Variable Transmission (E-CVT). In the same class, the 2022 Civic has a fuel tank capacity of 47 liters, the 2021 Xingrui has a capacity of 50 liters, and the 2022 Lavida has a capacity of 51 liters. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the calibrated capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity marked by the car manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safety limit, and there is still some space from the safety limit to the tank opening. This space is reserved to allow the fuel to expand when the temperature rises without overflowing the tank. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual refueling amount may exceed the marked 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 near F, it indicates sufficient fuel.
I remember when I drove the old Corolla, the fuel tank capacity was around 55 liters. This car was very practical, and I drove it for several years. Every time I refueled, it was quite hassle-free, as a full tank could easily cover over 600 kilometers. Especially for city commuting, I only needed to refuel once a week, which was extremely convenient. The fuel tank sizes for different model years of the Corolla are generally similar, but I recommend checking the specific model's manual to confirm. The size of the fuel tank directly affects refueling frequency and costs. With a 55-liter tank paired with a fuel-efficient engine, daily driving was quite economical.
