What is the boot capacity of the Honda City hatchback?

The Honda City is not offered as a hatchback in today’s lineup; it is a compact sedan in most markets, and its boot space is typically around 510 liters with the rear seats up.


Is there a Honda City hatchback?


In current Honda lineups, the City name refers to a sedan rather than a hatchback. Honda’s practical hatchback option in many regions is the Honda Jazz (also known as the Fit in some markets), which is a separate model with its own cargo space. Historically, variations of the City name appeared in different markets and body styles, but the modern lineup does not include a Honda City hatchback for sale today.


Boot capacity of the Honda City sedan


The trunk space figure most commonly listed for the Honda City sedan is about 510 liters with the rear seats in their standard position. This gives a usable amount of space for luggage, groceries, and daily cargo, suitable for city trips and short getaways.


What counts as boot space and how it’s used


Boot space is the cargo volume measured with the rear seats up, using standard loading configurations. The capacity can vary slightly by market, trim, and whether the car carries a full-size spare wheel or other interior fittings.


Some markets may list slightly different figures (for example, 510 L versus about 519 L) due to measurement conventions or small model-year changes. Always check the official spec sheet for your exact market and trim.


In practice, you can increase usable space by folding the rear seats, which broadens the cargo area to accommodate larger items.


To help you compare, here are a few quick notes about what to look for when assessing boot space:



  • Verify the official trunk capacity from the local Honda brochure or website for your market and trim.

  • Remember that capacity is measured with the rear seats up; folding seats increases usable space.

  • Compare trunk dimensions and floor height if you routinely carry taller items or luggage.


In summary, there is no Honda City hatchback today; if you need a hatchback with similar footprint, you would be looking at other models such as the Honda Jazz (Fit) or competing hatchbacks from other brands. For the City sedan, expect around 510 liters of boot space as a typical figure.


Summary


The Honda City, as sold today, is a compact sedan, not a hatchback. Its boot space is commonly shown as about 510 liters with the rear seats up, sufficient for everyday cargo and short trips. For hatchback needs, consider Honda’s Jazz (Fit) or other hatchbacks in the market, and always verify the exact figures for your market and trim from official Honda documentation.
