Figures are typical for the current generation and vary slightly by trim and model year. The trunk opening is the limiting dimension for wide or tall items, so measure it before the volume.
What fits
What fits in the Toyota Prius trunk?
Measure smart
What to measure.
Four numbers decide nearly every fit check. Get these right and the rest follows.
- 01The trunk 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 trunk opening is narrower than the item.
- ⚠Measuring the cargo floor but forgetting the roofline tapers toward the trunk 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.
Frequently asked
Questions we keep getting.
How big is the Toyota Prius trunk?
The Toyota Prius trunk holds 20.3 cubic feet (about 575 liters). With the rear seats folded, the load length extends to roughly 65 inches (165 cm) for longer items.
01What are the Toyota Prius trunk opening dimensions?
The Toyota Prius trunk opening is about 40 inches wide and 24 inches tall (102 x 61 cm). The opening, not the total volume, is what decides whether a wide or tall item can get in, so measure it first.
02How long is the Toyota Prius load area with the rear seats folded?
About 65 inches, or 165 cm. Folding the rear seats raises usable volume to 50.7 cubic feet (about 1436 liters). Measure your longest item against this load length before you load.
03Does the Toyota Prius trunk space change by model year?
Cargo figures vary slightly by generation and trim. A panoramic roof, a full-size spare, or a hybrid battery can each reduce usable volume by a few cubic feet. The figures here are typical for the current generation; check your exact year's spec sheet for a precise number.
