How many cubic feet are in a Toyota Highlander?
The Toyota Highlander offers about 16.0 cubic feet of cargo space behind the third row, about 48.4 cubic feet behind the second row, and up to roughly 84.3 cubic feet with both rear rows folded; total interior passenger space is around 141 cubic feet.
These figures reflect measurements commonly cited for recent Highlander models and can vary slightly by model year, trim level, and seating configuration (such as bench versus captain's chairs). The following breakdown captures the typical cargo configurations and overall interior space you can expect from current-generation Highlanders.
Cargo space by configuration
Before breaking out the numbers, note that Toyota reports these figures for the current generation when the second-row and third-row seats are in standard configurations.
- Behind the third row: 16.0 cubic feet
- Behind the second row: 48.4 cubic feet
- Behind the first row (all rear rows folded): 84.3 cubic feet
These figures provide a practical sense of how much luggage, gear, or groceries you can tuck away depending on how you fold the rear seats. They are approximate values and can shift slightly with different seat configurations or model years.
Interior passenger volume
Beyond cargo space, the Highlander is designed to seat up to seven or eight passengers, with a roomy interior footprint that translates to substantial total interior volume.
Most recent Highlander models offer around 141 cubic feet of passenger volume, contributing to a comfortable, versatile cabin for families and travelers alike. As always, exact numbers can vary by year and seating arrangement, so consult the specific model year’s specifications for precise figures.
Summary
In brief: cargo space sits at about 16.0 cu ft behind the third row, 48.4 cu ft behind the second row, and up to 84.3 cu ft with rear rows folded; interior passenger volume is roughly 141 cu ft. While these figures are representative of current-generation Highlanders, they can differ slightly by year, trim, and seating configuration.
