How many Litres is a Toyota Corolla touring boot space?

The boot capacity behind the Corolla Touring Sports’ rear seats is about 598–602 litres with the seats up, expanding to roughly 1,606 litres with the rear seats folded.


The Toyota Corolla Touring Sports (the estate/wagon version) prioritizes practical cargo space while maintaining the compact footprint of the core Corolla range. Official figures can vary slightly by market and by measurement method, and real-world space depends on how you configure the rear seats, whether a parcel shelf is in place, and the type of spare kit fitted.


Official capacity figures


The following figures reflect typical published capacities for the current Corolla Touring Sports in standard configurations. The numbers are affected by measurement standards and equipment choices, such as the presence of a full-size spare wheel versus a space-saver kit and whether the parcel shelf is installed.


Boot space behind the rear seats (seats up) and with seats folded



  • 598 litres behind the rear seats with the seats up (some markets list 602 litres due to measurement method).

  • 1,606 litres with the rear seats folded.


These figures assume a standard setup with the parcel shelf in place and typical trim configurations. Variations can occur based on regional specifications and optional equipment.


What affects the capacity you actually get


Understanding the practical factors helps when planning loads or trips. The numbers above are baseline figures; real-world space varies with configuration and equipment.



  • Seat configuration: Folding the second-row seats flat dramatically increases usable space from about 600 L to around 1,600 L.

  • Parcel shelf and floor height: A tall parcel shelf or a raised floor can reduce usable height and overall volume.

  • Spare wheel option: A full-size spare can slightly reduce available space, while a space-saver kit may leave more room.

  • Trim and year: Interior layout, under-floor storage, and tool kits can differ by model year or market, altering measured capacity.


When in doubt, check the exact figures for your model year and market with a local dealer, or test-fit your typical luggage to confirm real-world space.


Practical tips for using the boot


Maximizing the Corolla Touring’s boot space for daily use or trips involves a few simple adjustments.



  • Remove the parcel shelf when loading tall or bulky items to increase vertical space.

  • Utilize the 60:40 (or 40:20:40, depending on spec) rear-seat fold to tailor space for passengers and cargo.

  • Organize luggage with bags or inserts to prevent items from shifting during transit.

  • Consider floor height and under-floor storage when planning how you load heavy objects.


With thoughtful packing, the Corolla Touring offers flexible cargo solutions for everyday use and weekend trips alike.


Summary


In summary, the Toyota Corolla Touring Sports typically provides about 598–602 litres of boot space behind the rear seats, with up to around 1,606 litres available when the rear seats are folded. These figures can vary slightly by market and measurement method, and real-world space depends on equipment and configuration. For precise numbers on a specific year and trim, consult Toyota’s official specifications or your local dealer.
