What is the capacity of a Toyota Yaris?
Most Toyota Yaris models seat five passengers.
Capacity can refer to seating, cargo, or fuel capacity, and the exact figures vary by generation, market, and body style. This article explains typical capacities for common Yaris configurations.
Seating capacity
Overview of how many people the Yaris usually accommodates in its standard configurations.
- Five-passenger seating is standard for most Yaris hatchbacks and sedans in common markets (two in front, three in the rear).
- The usual layout is two front seats and a three-person rear bench; most variants have four doors for easy access.
In practice, you can typically seat up to five occupants in a Yaris across its standard configurations.
Cargo capacity
The amount of cargo space depends on body style. The hatchback typically offers more cargo room behind the rear seats than the sedan, and both bodies can gain space when rear seats fold.
- Hatchback (Liftback) cargo space behind the rear seats is typically around 15 cubic feet; with the rear seats folded, total space can reach roughly 34–38 cubic feet, depending on year and trim.
- Sedan trunk space is typically around 11–12 cubic feet; many sedans offer 60/40-split folding rear seats to expand cargo length when needed.
Exact figures vary by model year, region, and trim level; check the official specification for your specific vehicle.
Fuel capacity
Fuel-tank capacity remains in the low-teens of gallons for most Yaris variants, typically around 11 to 12 gallons (approximately 42–45 liters), with small variations by market and generation.
Summary
The Toyota Yaris typically seats five, offers about 15 cubic feet of cargo space in the hatchback version (smaller in the sedan), and has a fuel tank around 11–12 gallons. Exact numbers depend on year, market, and body style; always verify the specs for your specific model.
