How big is the Ford Fiesta boot?

The boot space in the Ford Fiesta is typically about 290 litres with the rear seats up, and roughly 960–1,000 litres when the rear seats are folded. Figures vary slightly by generation, trim, and market, but these values provide a reliable guide for most 5‑door Fiesta hatchbacks.


Boot capacity by generation


Here are representative figures for the main Fiesta generations. Exact capacity can differ based on equipment such as spare wheel type and the exact seating configuration.



  • Mk7 (2008–2017): about 284–290 litres with rear seats up; roughly 959–992 litres with the rear bench folded.

  • Mk8 (2017–present, in markets where sold): about 292 litres with rear seats up; around 960–1,000 litres with rear seats folded.


These figures apply to the common 5‑door hatchbacks. Three‑door variants exist less commonly and can have slightly different packaging, but the overall cargo capacity remains in the same general range.


Practical notes for loading


When planning to carry bulkier items, consider how the rear seats fold and whether a spare wheel is present, as these factors can affect usable space and floor height.



  • Rear-seat split: A 60/40 fold allows a passenger in the back while expanding cargo space when needed.

  • Floor configuration: Some trims include underfloor storage that can free up the main load area for larger items.

  • Spare wheel: A full-size spare versus a space-saver can change the available load space slightly.

  • Access: The boot opening size and floor height influence how easily bulky items fit, even if the volume is similar.


In everyday use, the Fiesta’s boot handles groceries, small suitcases, and shopping loads comfortably, with the option to fold the rear seats for larger cargo.


Summary


The Ford Fiesta offers around 290 litres of boot space with the rear seats up and about 960–1,000 litres when the rear seats are folded, with minor variation by generation and trim. For most users, this balances city practicality with usable cargo capacity, though exact figures depend on model year and equipment. Always check the specific vehicle’s specs for precise measurements.
