Toyota C-HR fuel tanks aren't the same for petrol and hybrid.

The short answer

Is the Toyota C-HR petrol tank larger than the hybrid tank?

Yes for the exact Japanese configurations documented here: Toyota lists 50 L for the 1.2L petrol C-HR and 43 L for the 1.8L hybrid. The figures come from separate 2016/2017 Toyota grade catalogues and June 2021 owner manuals, not from estimating fuel range.

Applicable to: Japanese-market C-HR 2016/2017 specified grades and 2021 NGX10/NGX50 petrol and ZYX11 hybrid editions; not a universal specification for all countries or years.

Manufacturer-specified figures by configuration

These are manufacturer-referenced values for the named configurations only. Read the exact source for your engine, trim and market instead of carrying a measurement across model names or model years.

02 / Before you use these values

Match the exact vehicle.

Check 1

Confirm your C-HR engine, Japanese chassis code, market and grade. The 2016 G-T and 2017 G figures belong to those documented grades.

Check 2

The hybrid's nominal tank is smaller, but nominal capacity does not equal remaining fuel, refill litres, an EPA rating or guaranteed driving range.

Check 3

Do not apply these Japan-market petrol and hybrid capacities to a C-HR from another region or a later-generation C-HR.

Where the numbers came from

Original cross-generation editorial comparison from Toyota Japan's December 2016 NGX50 G-T and August 2017 ZYX10 G catalogues, supplemented with separate petrol and hybrid June 2021 C-HR owner's-manual fuel-capacity tables. All four manufacturer document citations retain exact edition/grade scope.
