Behind the HR-V’s rear seats, you’ll find about 24.9 cubic feet of cargo space, expanding to roughly 58.8 cubic feet when the rear seats are folded flat. These figures reflect the current-generation model used in the U.S. market and can vary slightly by year or trim.
In this article, we break down the official cargo measurements for the latest HR-V and compare them to earlier generations, so you know what to expect when packing for trips or daily errands.
Current HR-V cargo capacity
The following figures reflect Honda’s published numbers for the current model in the U.S. market, illustrating the two common loading configurations most buyers care about. The rear seats on HR-Vs typically fold in a 60/40 split to expand cargo space.
- Behind the rear seats: 24.9 cubic feet
- With the rear seats folded flat: 58.8 cubic feet
With the rear seats folded down, the trunk accommodates a full range of larger items, from multiple suitcases to bicycles or groceries, depending on how you configure the load and whether you use any underfloor storage space.
Cargo space by generation
Honda has refreshed the HR-V across generations, but the approximate cargo footprint has remained in a similar range. Here’s a quick look at how the space has been reported for the main US-market generations.
- First-generation HR-V (2016–2021): about 24.3 cubic feet behind the rear seats; about 58.8 cubic feet with seats folded.
- Second-generation HR-V (2023–present): about 24.9 cubic feet behind the rear seats; about 58.8 cubic feet with seats folded.
In practice, the exact usable space can vary with trim level, interior layout, and any underfloor compartments, but the general capacity remains in the mid-20s for everyday use and near 60 cubic feet when the rear seats are down.
Summary
The Honda HR-V provides roughly 25 cubic feet of trunk space behind the rear seats and about 60 cubic feet with the rear seats folded, a layout that has persisted across its recent generations. This combination supports both daily errands and larger loading tasks without sacrificing the vehicle’s compact-SUV versatility.
