How much weight can a Corolla trunk hold?

[DelIsla]

The maximum volume of the Corolla is 452 liters, and the trunk can hold approximately 450 kilograms. The function of the trunk: The trunk of a car, as the name suggests, is the area for storing spare items and carrying goods. Trunks vary in size: Since small cars come in hatchback and sedan versions, the trunks also vary in size. Generally, a trunk contains the car's spare tire, emergency kit, tool kit, warning triangle, fire extinguisher, car refrigerator, and the emergency release cable for the fuel tank cap. Some high-end models also have the starter battery located in the trunk.

As a Corolla owner who has driven it for over five years, the trunk's maximum load capacity is approximately between 50 to 70 kilograms, depending on the model year. Don't exceed this weight limit, as it puts excessive pressure on the rear suspension and can easily deform the shock absorber springs. Once when moving, I overloaded it with books weighing about 75 kg – the car body noticeably sagged, handling became unstable, and fuel consumption spiked. Fortunately, I stopped in time to avoid damaging the vehicle. For daily use, like carrying shopping bags or suitcases, leave some space to avoid blocking the rearview mirror and compromising visibility. Regularly checking tire pressure helps the suspension better bear the load. Safety should always come first.

In the automotive repair industry, I often receive inquiries from Corolla owners regarding trunk load capacity. The official standard is typically around 50 kg, with an absolute maximum not exceeding 65 kg. Overloading can cause excessive wear on the rear suspension system, shock absorber leakage, or spring breakage. In practical use, ensure weight distribution is even—avoid concentrating heavy items at the rear, as this increases risks during high-speed turns. I recommend checking the door edge label or owner's manual to confirm model-specific data, while also adjusting tire pressure accordingly. If the rear appears sagging, promptly unload and perform maintenance. Prioritize safe driving—overloading also compromises braking performance.

As a new driver who just got my license, I recently purchased a Corolla and learned about its trunk capacity. The dealership mentioned it's approximately in the range of 45 to 60 kilograms, and overloading it can cause the car to sag uncomfortably. I use it on weekends to carry some picnic food and backpacks, which are lightweight and pose no issue. On regular days, I make sure not to stuff it with boxes or heavy items, as exceeding the limit makes the ride wobbly. Simply checking tire pressure and how items are arranged can prevent problems.
