What are the dimensions of the back of a Subaru Forester?
In the latest Forester models, the cargo area behind the rear seats offers about 31.1 cubic feet of space, and up to 76.1 cubic feet when the rear seats are folded. Exact figures can vary by model year and trim.
Cargo space by configuration
Two standard measurements are typically cited for the current generation: space behind the rear seats (seats up) and space with the rear seats folded down. The figures below reflect Subaru’s published specs for recent models.
- Behind the rear seats (seats up): 31.1 cubic feet (0.88 cubic meters)
- With the rear seats folded: 76.1 cubic feet (2.15 cubic meters)
Note: These volumes are for the standard cargo area with the second-row up or down. They can vary slightly by year, trim, and optional configurations. For the exact numbers of a specific vehicle, consult the model-year’s official specifications or measure the space in person.
Additional context and caveats
Brochures and reviews commonly present cargo capacity as the primary back-area metric. If you need precise measurements for a particular model year or trim level, check the Subaru official specification sheet or contact a retailer, since small changes in interior layout or floor height can affect usable space.
Summary
For most current Subaru Forester models, the back cargo area holds about 31.1 cubic feet behind the rear seats and up to 76.1 cubic feet with the rear seats folded. These figures provide a practical guide for typical groceries, luggage, and larger items, but exact numbers can vary by year and trim, so verify for your specific vehicle.
