Key cargo-length figures for recent Outbacks


Before listing, note that these figures refer to interior cargo space and assume standard seating with no obstructing items. They help you gauge how much fits in the back when loading long or bulky items.



  • Maximum cargo length with the rear seats folded flat: about 75.7 inches (1.92 meters).

  • Depth of cargo space with rear seats up: about 32 inches (0.81 meters).

These measurements give a practical sense of how the Outback handles long loads. For the exact numbers on your specific year and trim, consult the official Subaru specifications or your vehicle’s owner’s manual.


Additional considerations


Remember that cargo space can be affected by features such as underfloor storage, cargo volume with the seats up or down, and optional roof rails or racks that extend carrying capacity. Year-to-year differences are usually small, but checking the exact spec sheet for your model is advisable.
