What is the trunk capacity of the Civic?
2 Answers
The trunk capacity of the Civic is 440L. Function of the trunk: The car trunk serves as a storage compartment for miscellaneous items in the vehicle. A trunk mat can effectively protect the car trunk, preventing dirt or liquids from entering and eroding the trunk surface, and also prevents items inside the trunk from sliding. Precautions: Before each drive, the owner should check whether the trunk door lock is securely engaged. A lock that is not fully engaged may cause the trunk to open suddenly, posing a potential safety hazard during driving. Do not drive with the trunk lid partially or fully open, as exhaust fumes may enter the car interior, creating a risk of poisoning.
The Civic's trunk capacity typically ranges between 400 to 420 liters, depending on the model and year. I usually drive the new Civic, whose official trunk capacity is around 408 liters—plenty of space for two or three large suitcases. There are variations between different versions; for example, the Hatchback model offers more space, potentially exceeding 500 liters, making it particularly suitable for family trips or weekend shopping. During practical measurements, the wheel arches do take up some space, but the overall layout remains quite functional. I remember when I last moved, it managed to fit a small sofa and several cardboard boxes without feeling too cramped. For precise figures, I recommend checking the manufacturer's official website or manual rather than relying on vague online claims. The capacity is influenced by design; newer models with optimized aerodynamics see a slight increase in space, but overall, the changes are minimal.
