Which Honda Civic has the most trunk space?

The Honda Civic Hatchback has the most trunk space, delivering significantly more cargo room than the Sedan. In the current lineup, hatchback cargo behind the rear seats runs about 25.7 cubic feet, and expands to roughly 46 cubic feet with the rear seats folded; the sedan offers about 14.7–14.8 cubic feet behind the rear seats.


Cargo space by body style


Below is a snapshot of trunk and cargo area for the two main body styles in today’s Civic lineup. Figures are approximate and can vary slightly by year and trim.



  • Sedan (trunk behind rear seats): about 14.7–14.8 cubic feet

  • Civic Hatchback (cargo area behind rear seats): about 25.7 cubic feet

  • Civic Hatchback (rear seats folded): up to about 46.2 cubic feet


These numbers illustrate why most buyers who prioritize cargo capacity choose the Hatchback over the Sedan. The larger cargo area remains a key selling point for practical daily use and trips with luggage or gear.


Notes for shoppers and caveats


As models evolve, Honda may adjust space allocations with design changes or new trims. Always verify official specifications for your exact model year and configuration, especially if you consider options like a spare tire, cargo mats, or a full-size spare that can affect usable space.


Summary: The Honda Civic Hatchback stands out for trunk space within the Civic lineup, delivering roughly 25.7 cubic feet behind the rear seats and up to about 46 cubic feet with the rear seats folded, while the Sedan offers approximately 14.7–14.8 cubic feet. For buyers who regularly carry a lot of cargo, the Hatchback is the clear choice.
