Measurements
Honda HR-V cargo space dimensions.
| Length | Width | Height | Volume | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| All seats upright (behind 2nd row) | 31"79 cm | 39"99 cm | ≈35"≈89 cm | 24.4 cu ft691 L |
| 2nd row folded | ≈65"≈165 cm | 39"99 cm | ≈35"≈89 cm | 55.1 cu ft1560 L |
| Liftgate opening | – | ≈40"≈102 cm | ≈31"≈79 cm | – |
Figures are for the 3rd generation (Honda N), U.S. market, 2023+ model years. Cargo height is an estimate. The liftgate opening size is an estimate. The liftgate opening is the limiting dimension for wide or tall items, so measure it before the volume.
Measure smart
What to measure.
Four numbers decide nearly every fit check. Get these right and the rest follows.
- 01The liftgate opening width and height, not the total volume, since the opening is what an item has to pass through.
- 02The load-floor length behind the rear seats, then again with the seats folded.
- 03The height available under the parcel shelf or roofline, measured at the lowest point.
- 04Your item at its widest point, including feet, handles, and packaging.
Don't make these
Common mistakes.
Most “it didn't fit” stories trace back to one of these oversights.
- ⚠Reading the cubic-foot figure and assuming a wide item will fit, when the liftgate opening is narrower than the item.
- ⚠Measuring the cargo floor but forgetting the roofline tapers toward the liftgate opening.
- ⚠Ignoring that a full-size spare, subwoofer, or hybrid battery eats into the quoted volume.
- ⚠Planning around seats-folded length while leaving a passenger seat up.

01What are the Honda HR-V liftgate opening dimensions?
We don't have a published liftgate aperture for the Honda HR-V. Our catalog estimates it at about 40 inches wide and 31 inches tall (102 x 79 cm), but treat that as a starting point rather than a spec. The opening, not the total volume, decides whether a wide or tall item can get in, so measure your own at the narrowest point.
02How long is the Honda HR-V load area with the 2nd row folded?
About 65 inches, or 165 cm, an estimate. The published volume for that layout is 55.1 cubic feet (about 1560 liters). Measure your longest item against this load length before you load.
03Does the Honda HR-V cargo space change by model year?
The figures here are for the 3rd generation (Honda N), U.S. market, 2023+ model years, checked against 2024 model-year sources. Earlier generations have different cargo areas, so measure your own if you have an older model.
