What is the fuel tank capacity of the Vios in liters?
2 Answers
The currently available Vios models consist of 6 variants, all featuring a fuel tank capacity of 42 liters. These vehicles are equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum power output of 82kW (112 horsepower) at 6000 rpm. Among its peers, the 2020 Kia Pegas has a 43-liter tank capacity while the 2022 Yaris L (Chinese version) shares the same 42-liter capacity. During actual refueling, the amount filled may exceed the calibrated volume. This occurs because manufacturers specify tank capacity from the base to the safe fill level, leaving space between this level and the tank neck to accommodate fuel expansion due to temperature increases without overflow. Filling beyond the safe level to the neck results in exceeding the nominal capacity. To check remaining fuel, observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the instrument cluster marked with E (Empty) and F (Full). The needle approaching E indicates low fuel, while nearing F shows sufficient levels.
I remember when I first bought my Vios, I specifically checked the fuel tank capacity. The official specs stated it was around 45 liters, which is a decent size. For city commuting, a full tank could get me nearly 500 kilometers, saving me frequent refueling stops—quite convenient. I think when driving, it's better not to wait until the fuel gauge warning light comes on before heading to the gas station. Filling up in advance helps avoid the embarrassment of running out of fuel. Paying attention to driving habits, like maintaining a steady speed and avoiding harsh braking, can slightly improve mileage and extend the time between refuels. Also, when filling the tank, don’t go beyond the safety line—stop as soon as the pump clicks off to prevent overflow and waste. These small details help with both saving money and safety, so it’s worth keeping them in mind.
