How big is the cargo space in a Lexus NX?

Approximately 17.7 cubic feet behind the rear seats, expanding to about 54.7 cubic feet with the rear seats folded. This article explains the current cargo measurements for the NX lineup and how they translate to daily use.

Beyond the numbers, the NX's cargo area is designed to balance compact-SUV practicality with Lexus' emphasis on a refined interior. The figures shown here reflect the current generation's gas and hybrid variants, though real-world space can vary slightly with floor configuration, optional features, and cargo organizers.

Cargo space figures for the current Lexus NX

What follows are the standard cargo capacities you can expect from the NX lineup, with the rear seats up and with the rear seats folded.

• Behind the rear seats: 17.7 cubic feet (approximately 501 liters)


• With the rear seats folded: 54.7 cubic feet (approximately 1,548 liters)

Note: These figures assume the typical floor configuration and may vary slightly with optional cargo flooring, organizers, or accessory equipment.

In practical terms, the stated space supports everyday needs—grocery runs, gym gear, and multiple suitcases for a weekend trip. When you fold the rear seats, the NX becomes capable of handling longer items and larger cargo blocks with relative ease.

Variant differences and practical considerations

Across the current NX lineup—including gasoline and hybrid models—the cargo space is largely consistent. Minor differences can occur due to floor setup, underfloor storage, or cargo-area accessories, but the overall capacity remains within the same range for most trims. For buyers weighing cargo space against passenger comfort or driver aids, the NX provides a balanced package in the compact-luxury segment.

Summary

The Lexus NX offers about 17.7 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats and up to roughly 54.7 cubic feet with the rear seats folded. These figures apply across the current generation's trims (gas and hybrid), providing solid practicality for daily use and weekend trips. For exact numbers on a specific model year or trim, consult Lexus's official specs or dealership listings, as floor configurations and optional equipment can cause minor variations.

Is the Lexus NX the same size as a RAV4?

No, the Lexus NX and Toyota RAV4 are not the same size, though they are similar, with the RAV4 generally offering more interior space and cargo capacity due to its more boxy and upright design, while the NX has a sportier, more stylized appearance. The NX is slightly longer and wider but lower than the RAV4, which contributes to a more coupe-like profile.

• Liftgate: A hands-free power liftgate is available on some models.
