The cargo area is 37.2 cubic feet behind the rear seats and 70.9 cubic feet with the rear seats folded flat.
The 2014 Honda CR-V, part of Honda’s fifth generation, is designed with practicality in mind. This article breaks down the official cargo dimensions, how they translate to real-world use, and what features help maximize loading flexibility.
Cargo space figures
The following figures reflect the primary cargo capacities advertised for the 2014 CR-V, showing space with the rear seats up versus folded down.
- 37.2 cubic feet (about 1,053 liters) of cargo space behind the rear seats when they are in use.
- 70.9 cubic feet (about 2,007 liters) of cargo space with the rear seats folded flat.
These numbers are typical for the model’s class and generation, providing a versatile loading area for luggage, groceries, sporting gear, and more. The rear seats use a 60/40 split to allow partial folding while still carrying passengers in the back row.
Practical use and configuration
The 37.2 cu ft figure is sufficient for several suitcases or a sizeable shopping run with passengers aboard. When you need more room, folding the rear seats expands the cargo area to about 71 cu ft, creating a near-flat floor that accommodates longer items and bulkier gear. The CR-V’s loading area benefits from a wide opening and a relatively low load floor, which helps with everyday loading and unloading.
Design features that affect cargo usability
In many trims, the CR-V offers a 60/40-split rear bench that folds in a way that preserves some passenger seating while expanding the cargo space. Some models also include underfloor storage in the cargo area, which helps keep smaller items organized and out of the main load space.
Summary
The 2014 Honda CR-V provides 37.2 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats and up to 70.9 cubic feet with the rear seats folded, making it a practical choice for everyday hauling and weekend trips. Its wide loading opening, flat-load floor when folded, and flexible seating contribute to strong real-world usability.
