How many bags can you fit in a Toyota C-HR?
Behind the rear seats, the Toyota C-HR offers about 19.1 cubic feet of cargo space, and about 36.4 cubic feet with the rear seats folded. Practically, that means you can usually fit around 6–9 large suitcases or roughly 10–12 standard carry-ons behind the rear seats, with capacity increasing considerably when you fold the seats down.
Cargo space by configuration
The numbers below reflect the official cargo figures for recent C-HR versions and illustrate how space changes with seating.
- Behind the rear seats: 19.1 cubic feet (about 541 liters).
- With rear seats folded: 36.4 cubic feet (about 1,030 liters).
These figures represent usable volume with the cargo floor in the typical position and seats in their normal configuration; actual usable space may vary with cargo organizers, spare tire placement, or other equipment.
Estimating bag counts by size
Turning space into bag counts depends on the size and shape of the luggage. The following estimates assume standard, widely used dimensions for common bags.
- Standard carry-on bags (about 22 × 14 × 9 inches, roughly 1.6 cubic feet each): by volume the 19.1 cubic feet behind the rear seats could theoretically hold about 11–12 such bags, but practical packing usually yields about 6–9 bags.
- Large suitcases (about 28–30 inches tall): typically 4–6 can be placed behind the rear seats, depending on orientation and packing.
- With the rear seats folded (36.4 cubic feet): you can often fit roughly 8–12 carry-ons or about 10–14 large suitcases, depending on bag shapes and stacking.
These are rough planning estimates; real-world counts depend on the exact bag sizes, organizers, and how you arrange items.
Packing tips to maximize space
Maximizing cargo involves both choosing the right bags and organizing efficiently. Consider these practical tips as you pack a C-HR.
Use flexible, soft-sided bags
Soft-sided duffels and compressible bags conform better to irregular spaces and allow easier stacking around wheel wells and cushions.
Pack strategically and flatten heavy items
Place heavier items on the bottom near the wheels, with lighter bags on top, and use packing cubes or vacuum-seal bags to reduce volume where possible.
Summary
The Toyota C-HR provides about 19.1 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats and 36.4 cubic feet with the rear seats folded. For planning, this generally translates to room for roughly 6–9 large suitcases or about 10–12 carry-ons behind the rear seats, with a significant expansion when the rear seats are folded. Actual bag counts depend on bag dimensions and packing strategy.
