What is the size of an SUV trunk?

Different brands of SUVs have varying trunk size designs. Generally, the trunk volume of hatchbacks ranges from 130-290 liters; sedans typically have 350-580 liters; while off-road vehicles usually offer 300-600 liters. Some vehicles feature exceptionally large trunks, but with slightly longer rear overhangs, requiring trade-offs. Below are relevant examples: Among compact sedans with outstanding trunk capacity - the Ford Focus sedan offers 526L trunk space; the Volkswagen Sagitar TSI+DSG series comes standard with ESP and provides 527L trunk volume; the Skoda Octavia boasts 560L trunk space which dramatically increases to 1350L when rear seats are folded down; the Peugeot 307 sedan achieves an impressive 620L trunk capacity.

Recently helped a friend measure the cargo space of several popular SUVs and found significant differences. In the five-seat configuration, compact SUVs like the Honda CR-V can fit about three to four 24-inch suitcases, with an official volume of around 580 liters. Midsize SUVs like the Highlander can reach 700 liters, allowing you to stand a stroller upright without folding down the rear seats. The most practical feature is the expanded space when the rear seats are folded down—the Crown can extend to over 1,600 liters, and I once managed to fit a folding bicycle plus two large storage boxes during a move. Pay attention to the depth parameter when measuring, especially for items like fishing rods or skis. Also, seven-seat SUVs have very little trunk space when the third row is in use, typically only fitting two backpacks.

Last week, we tested the cargo space of three SUVs during a camping trip. The German Tiguan L has an official capacity of 495-1780L. With the rear seats up, it easily accommodated tents and folding chairs, but the height was limited by its sloping roofline. The American Explorer's boxy design made it exceptionally spacious—after folding the third row, we could directly roll in a camp cart with a tabletop. The domestic Li L9 offered a depth of over 1.1 meters, allowing us to place the canopy poles horizontally without any issues. We recommend paying special attention to the cargo floor height—even a 5cm difference matters when loading heavy items. Models like the Lynk & Co 09, equipped with air suspension that lowers the vehicle, make loading much easier.

When choosing an SUV trunk, focus on three key dimensions: the regular volume determines daily shopping capacity—the Q5L's 550L can easily accommodate two cases of mineral water plus a stroller. Expansion capability depends on one-touch rear seat folding, with Toyota models generally achieving a fully flat layout. Detailed design significantly impacts usability, like the XC60's fixed sidewall hooks that prevent rolling vegetable boxes on slopes. Pay attention to special dimensions and limits—for instance, the Jaguar F-PACE's width is compromised by protruding rear wheel arches. Using a 28-inch suitcase as a unit provides the most intuitive measurement during tests, with the Volkswagen Teramont capable of holding four vertically.
