Trunk size by market and generation
Trunk volume has varied somewhat across generations and markets. The numbers above reflect the 2015–2020 US-market generation; earlier generations and non-US markets may show modest differences in cargo space. Always check the exact specs for your year and trim.
- Gen 3 (2015–2020, US): 16.6 cu ft behind rear seats; 52.7 cu ft with rear seats folded.
- Gen 1/Gen 2 (earlier years and other markets): typically mid-teens cu ft behind seats, with around 40–50 cu ft when seats are folded; exact figures vary by market and year.
Beyond raw volume, the Fit’s interior design — especially the Magic Seat feature — further enhances usable cargo space by enabling multiple seating and loading configurations.
Magic Seat configurations
The Honda Fit’s Magic Seat system adds versatility by letting you reconfigure the rear seating for tall items, long items, or a flat loading floor, depending on your cargo and passenger needs.
- Normal mode: rear seats up provide 16.6 cu ft of cargo space.
- Tall mode: flip the rear seat bottom to create tall cargo space for items like plants or boxes.
- Long mode: fold the front passenger seat forward to accommodate long items such as skis or boards.
In practical terms, the Magic Seat configurations often matter more than marginal changes in cubic-foot numbers, especially for users who regularly haul oddly shaped gear or unusually tall items.
Summary: The Honda Fit offers 16.6 cubic feet of trunk space with the rear seats up and up to 52.7 cubic feet with the rear seats folded, with the Magic Seat system providing additional versatility to fit a range of cargo shapes and sizes.
