What is the total cargo space of a Honda Fit?
In brief, the Honda Fit offers 16.6 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats, and up to 52.7 cubic feet with the rear seats folded.
The figures come from the U.S.-market Fit's storage measurements for the model years when Honda spotlighted its flexible Magic Seat system. These values reflect cargo space with the rear seats up and the maximum space available when the rear seats are folded, which varies by generation and packaging. In other markets, the Jazz branding is used, but the overall capacity remains comparable.
Cargo space by configuration
Below are the primary cargo-space figures based on whether the rear seats are in use or folded, highlighting the Fit’s versatility.
- Behind the rear seats: 16.6 cubic feet (470 liters)
- With the rear seats folded: 52.7 cubic feet (1,496 liters)
The two numbers represent the typical US-spec measurements for the Honda Fit during its final generation (2015–2020) and illustrate how the Magic Seat design expands storage when needed.
How the space is achieved
Magic Seat and flexible layout
Honda’s Magic Seat system allows multiple rear-seat configurations to maximize cargo area. The rear seats can be folded down to extend the load floor, or folded up to create a taller, more vertical cargo space for odd-shaped items. This flexibility helps the Fit accommodate a wide range of cargo in a compact package.
Exact cargo figures can vary slightly by model year and trim, so checking the specifications for a specific vehicle is advised if precise measurements are essential.
Summary
The Honda Fit delivers practical cargo space for its size: 16.6 cubic feet behind the rear seats and up to 52.7 cubic feet with the rear seats folded, thanks to the flexible Magic Seat design. This combination makes the Fit notably versatile for daily hauling and weekend trips within the subcompact class.
