The fuel tank capacity of the old RAV4 is 60 liters. The old RAV4 generally refers to the Toyota RAV4, which is the basic model in Toyota's compact multi-purpose off-road vehicle family. In terms of appearance, the old RAV4 retains a traditional design style, with a front face layout that is easy to recognize. The grille adopts a split upper and lower design, with the upper part directly integrated with the sharp headlights on both sides. The lower grille has a bold and stylish shape, giving the vehicle a strong sense of layering. The old RAV4 has a body length of 4630mm, width of 1855mm, height of 1685mm, and a wheelbase of 2660mm.
I drove a first-generation 1998 RAV4, and I remember its fuel tank capacity was about 60 liters, equivalent to 15.9 gallons. This design was perfect for my weekend getaway habits back then. A full tank could cover over 600 kilometers, and it was even more fuel-efficient on smooth highways. Although the old car consumed more fuel compared to today's new models, the advantage of a large tank was less worry about finding gas stations during trips, especially on mountain roads. I recommend checking the fuel tank seals and pipes annually to avoid aging and leakage issues. If you want to save money, try filling up the tank and recording the mileage to calculate the actual range—this helped me optimize my driving routes. Overall, the RAV4's older fuel tank design was practical; while it added some weight, it was reliable.
