How big is the Subaru Impreza trunk?
The Subaru Impreza’s trunk size depends on the body style. In the current generation, the sedan offers about 12.3 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats, while the five-door hatchback provides about 20.8 cubic feet behind the rear seats and up to about 55.3 cubic feet with the rear seats folded. These figures come from Subaru’s official cargo-volume specifications for recent model years (roughly 2023–2025).
In practical terms, the hatchback is noticeably more versatile for groceries, luggage, and longer items, whereas the sedan offers a traditional trunk with less total space. Keep in mind that exact usable space can vary slightly by trim, optional equipment, and whether a temporary spare is included.
Cargo space by body style
Below are the published cargo volumes for Impreza models, measured with the rear seats in their upright position for each body style, in both cubic feet and liters.
- Sedan (4-door): 12.3 cubic feet (348 liters) of trunk space behind the rear seats.
- Hatchback (5-door): 20.8 cubic feet (589 liters) behind the rear seats; 55.3 cubic feet (1,566 liters) with the rear seats folded flat.
The hatchback’s larger rear opening and split-folding rear seats significantly increase usable space when you need to transport larger items. The sedan’s trunk remains compact but practical for daily errands and typical luggage for two people.
Practical loading notes
For actual loading, note that the hatchback floor is typically flat and accommodates tall items more easily when the rear seats are folded, whereas the sedan’s trunk is a conventional space with a fixed opening. Additionally, some trims or configurations may affect cargo-floor height or the presence of a spare tire, which can slightly alter usable volume.
Summary
In brief: the Subaru Impreza’s trunk size varies by body style. The hatchback offers about 20.8 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats and up to 55.3 cubic feet with the rear seats folded, while the sedan provides about 12.3 cubic feet behind the rear seats. For maximum cargo capacity, the hatchback is the better option.
