The typical fuel tank capacity for most 2010 Honda Civic gasoline models is 13.2 gallons (50 liters). The Civic Hybrid uses a smaller tank around 11.9 gallons (45 liters).
This article breaks down the tank sizes across the 2010 Civic lineup, explains how body style and powertrain influence capacity, and what that means for range and refueling habits.
Tank sizes by model and powertrain
Here is a quick reference of common tank capacities for the 2010 Civic lineup. Note that regional specifications can vary slightly by market and trim.
- 2010 Honda Civic Sedan (LX/EX/EX-L): 13.2 gallons (50 L)
- 2010 Honda Civic Coupe: 13.2 gallons (50 L)
- 2010 Honda Civic Si (coupe or sedan): 13.2 gallons (50 L)
- 2010 Honda Civic Hybrid: 11.9 gallons (45 L)
In practice, the gasoline-powered Civics share nearly identical tank capacities across trims, while the Hybrid trades a smaller tank to accommodate its battery system.
Practical implications
The tank size influences how far you can travel on a full tank between fill-ups. With the Civic’s typical highway fuel economy in the mid-30s mpg, a 13.2-gallon tank often yields several hundred miles per tank. The Hybrid’s smaller tank can reduce range somewhat, but it usually benefits from higher city fuel efficiency, which can narrow the gap in real-world driving.
Notes on variations
Some markets or specific trims may have slight differences due to emission equipment, chassis design tweaks, or regional requirements. If you need an exact figure for a particular vehicle, consult the owner's manual or check the VIN-specific specifications published by Honda.
Summary
The 2010 Honda Civic’s gas tank generally measures 13.2 gallons (50 liters) for most gasoline models, while the Civic Hybrid uses about 11.9 gallons (45 liters). This difference affects driving range and refueling intervals, but across the lineup the tanks are sized to balance capacity with efficiency. Always verify for your exact vehicle if precision is essential.
