What are the dimensions of a Subaru Crosstrek trunk?
The Crosstrek offers about 20.8 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats and 55.3 cubic feet with the rear seats folded; the trunk opening is roughly 38–40 inches wide, with a width between wheel wells of about 41 inches. Exact figures can vary slightly by model year and trim.
Cargo space: how much can you fit
The following figures reflect the usable cargo volume inside the Crosstrek’s trunk area, before adding any accessories or cargo organizers. They are the most commonly cited numbers for recent models.
- Behind the rear seats: 20.8 cubic feet (about 589 liters)
- With the rear seats folded: 55.3 cubic feet (about 1565 liters)
These volumes assume standard seating configurations and typical cargo mats; adding a spare tire or additional underfloor storage can slightly alter usable space.
Physical trunk dimensions you can expect
Official Subaru spec sheets emphasize cargo capacity rather than every exterior measurement. The figures below are commonly cited approximations for recent Crosstrek models and can vary by year, trim, and whether a spare tire is installed.
- Width between rear wheel housings (the narrowest cross-section inside the cargo area): about 41 inches (approximately 104 cm)
- Trunk opening width (between the sides of the tailgate opening): roughly 38–40 inches (about 96–102 cm)
- Trunk opening height: about 27 inches (roughly 69 cm)
- Rear-seat-down floor depth (floor length from tailgate to the back of the folded seats): about 66 inches (approximately 168 cm)
In practice, these measurements give you a sense of how long and wide the space is for luggage, groceries, or gear. Actual usable space may be affected by items like cargo organizers, protective mats, or underfloor storage configurations.
Practical notes by year and trim
Trunk dimensions and usable space can vary slightly with model year, drivetrain (including all-wheel-drive systems), and whether the model includes a spare tire or run-flat alternatives. If you need exact figures for a specific year and trim, consulting the official Subaru brochure or your dealer can provide the precise measurements for that configuration.
- Spare tire presence can reduce the flat-floor height and slightly affect cargo volume
- Rear-seat configuration (split-folding versus full bench) can change how the floor aligns with the folded seats
- Aftermarket cargo organizers or a cargo cover may subtract a small portion of usable space but improve practicality
For most buyers, the Crosstrek’s trunk offers a generous and adaptable space for everyday cargo, with a balance between a shallow loading lip and a long floor when seats are folded.
Summary
In summary, the Subaru Crosstrek provides 20.8 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats and 55.3 cubic feet with the rear seats folded. The trunk opening is typically around 38–40 inches wide, with about 41 inches of width between the wheel housings, and a floor length that becomes quite long when the rear seats lie flat. These figures establish the Crosstrek as a capable small-SUV for groceries, luggage, and outdoor gear, with the usual caveat that exact numbers vary by year, trim, and configuration.
