Context
About the Subaru Outback cargo area
The current Outback is an all-new generation with a taller, more upright body than the wagon it replaces. The redesign raised the roofline and squared off the liftgate opening, so the hold is more rectangular and loads tall, boxy items more easily than the older low-slung shape.
Behind the rear seats it carries about 34.6 cubic feet, expanding to roughly 80.5 cubic feet with them folded, the most an Outback has offered. The long, flat load floor is its real advantage for furniture.

Measure smart
What to measure.
Four numbers decide nearly every fit check. Get these right and the rest follows.
- 01The cargo length with the rear seats folded flat, from the seatbacks to the closed hatch or trunk lid.
- 02The width between the wheel wells, which is usually narrower than the widest point of the cargo floor.
- 03The hatch or liftgate opening, since the load has to clear it first; a sedan trunk lid is narrower than its volume suggests.
- 04The interior height at the load point, remembering a sloping roof or liftgate steals height toward the back.
- 05The item's smallest face, because angling it on the diagonal often rescues a fit the straight-in measurement fails.
Don't make these
Common mistakes.
Most “it didn't fit” stories trace back to one of these oversights.
- ⚠Using the brochure cargo volume in cubic feet instead of the real length, width, and height the item needs.
- ⚠Measuring the floor at its widest and forgetting the wheel wells pinch it in the middle.
- ⚠Folding the seats but leaving the headrests on, which steals usable height.
- ⚠Assuming every trim is the same; a panoramic moonroof or an under-floor hybrid battery can cut cargo room.
- ⚠Ignoring that a long item may clear on the diagonal even when it fails flat.
