How big is the trunk of a 2008 Dodge Avenger?
The trunk behind the rear seats holds about 14 cubic feet of cargo space, and folding the rear seats increases available space to roughly 40–45 cubic feet. This reflects the vehicle’s official cargo-volume specifications for the 2008 model year.
These figures come from the 2008 Dodge Avenger’s design and marketing materials, which quantify cargo space with the rear seats both up and folded. Actual usable space can vary slightly depending on trim, presence of a spare tire, and how items are arranged inside the cabin.
Trunk capacity in numbers
To help visualize the space, the following breakdown uses standard measurements used by automakers: one figure for cargo with the rear seats up, and another when the seats are folded to maximize space.
- Cargo capacity behind the rear seats (seats up): about 14 cubic feet (approximately 0.40 cubic meters).
- Cargo capacity with rear seats folded (60/40 split): roughly 40–45 cubic feet (about 1.13–1.27 cubic meters).
Note: The exact figures can vary slightly by trim level and interior configuration, such as the presence of a full-size spare or different floor treatments.
Practical considerations
What fits in the trunk
For everyday use, the roughly 14 cubic feet behind the rear seats accommodates several suitcases or groceries. When the rear seats are folded, you can carry longer items and larger boxes, depending on their shape and how they’re arranged.
When planning trips or transporting bulky items, measure the dimensions of your typical loads and compare them to the trunk’s available space with seats up and down. The 60/40 split rear bench helps balance passenger and cargo needs.
Summary
The 2008 Dodge Avenger offers about 14 cubic feet of trunk space behind the rear seats, expandable to roughly 40–45 cubic feet with the rear seats folded. This provides practical cargo capacity for everyday use and larger items when the rear seats are down.
