What is the fuel tank capacity of the Toyota Yaris?
2 Answers
Toyota Yaris has a total of 5 models, all with a fuel tank capacity of 42 liters. The entire lineup uses an 8-speed continuously variable transmission (CVT), and all models are front-wheel drive. Among vehicles in the same class, the 2022 Vios 1.5L CVT Chuangxing CARE Edition has a fuel tank capacity of 42 liters, while the 2021 Fit 1.5L CVT Chaoqi Edition has a fuel tank capacity of 40 liters. During the actual refueling process, 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 safe limit, and there is still some space from the safe limit to the tank opening. This space is designed to allow for fuel expansion when temperatures rise, preventing overflow from the tank. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added 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 instrument panel, which is marked with E and F. When the pointer is near E, it indicates that the fuel is almost depleted, and when it is close to F, it indicates that the fuel level is sufficient.
I've been driving a Toyota Yaris for two or three years. The car has a 42-liter fuel tank, which is quite well-designed and very user-friendly. A full tank can last about 650 kilometers, with an average fuel consumption of around 6 liters per 100 kilometers, making city commuting convenient with just one refuel per week. I remember when I first bought it, driving on the highway was especially enjoyable—I could go 700 kilometers in one go before the low-fuel warning came on, which felt very reassuring. When refueling, don’t fill it up too much; leave some space to account for expansion and avoid sensor issues. Regularly check the fuel tank cap’s seal to prevent impurities, as this helps extend the engine’s lifespan. Overall, the tank size is just right—not too small to require frequent gas station visits, nor too large to add unnecessary weight. If fuel consumption increases, it’s likely due to low tire pressure or prolonged air conditioning use, so timely maintenance should fix it.
