How big is the back of a CR-V with the seats down?

With the rear seats folded, the CR-V offers up to 105.6 cubic feet of cargo space, roughly 2,990 liters. Behind the rear seats, you’ll have about 39.0–39.2 cubic feet (approximately 1,105–1,110 liters), depending on model year and trim.


These figures come from Honda’s official specifications for the current CR-V generation (introduced in 2023) and are the basis for how buyers gauge how much fits in the cargo area when the seats are down. Minor year-to-year variations can occur based on equipment like cargo covers or spare-tire placement.


Cargo space in the current CR-V


The following figures reflect the cargo volume in the CR-V when configured with seats up and folded for maximum space. They help translate the numbers into real-world loading expectations.



  • Behind the rear seats (seats up): 39.0–39.2 cubic feet (about 1,105–1,110 liters).

  • With the rear seats folded flat: 105.6 cubic feet (about 2,990 liters).


In everyday use, these numbers mean you can comfortably accommodate multiple suitcases or a mix of boxes once you drop the rear seats. The exact usable space can vary with floor mats, a spare tire arrangement, and cabin accessories.


Practical loading tips


To maximize cargo space when the seats are down, consider these simple steps:



  • Retract or remove the cargo cover to allow taller items to fit higher.

  • Fold the rear seats completely flat to create a continuous load floor.

  • Remove loose interior components or accessories that could intrude on space.


Following these steps can help you approach the full 105.6 cu ft of cargo volume under the right conditions.


Summary


For the current CR-V generation, folding the rear seats yields a maximum cargo capacity of 105.6 cubic feet (~2,990 L), while cargo behind the rear seats sits around 39.0–39.2 cubic feet (~1,105–1,110 L). Actual usable space depends on year, trim, and how you configure the seating and cargo setup.
