Comparison: Boot space Honda CR-V vs. competitors 2025
How much cargo can handle this medium SUV?
In the sprawling savannah of SUV boot spaces, the Honda CR-V has roared like a lion amongst kittens since its inception in 1996. With a boot that could seemingly fit the kitchen sink, a tent for an army, and still have room for the dog, it's always been a titan of trunk space. Over the years, Honda has been tinkering in their automotive kitchen, cooking up CR-Vs with even more room for your bits and bobs, making it a beloved choice for families, adventurers, and anyone who’s ever thought, ‘I might need an inflatable kayak in my car, just in case.’
Honda CR-V - How has the boot space changed over the generations?
Like a fine wine or my good self, the CR-V's boot space has only gotten better with age. Starting with a rather roomy 374 liters in its first generation, it blossomed to an ample 527 liters by its second outing. By the third generation, it was up to a whopping 556 liters, before hitting a peak of 589 liters in its fourth generation—because apparently, Honda believes there's no such thing as too much space. The current, sixth-generation CR-V flexes its muscles with 587 liters, proving that when it comes to boot space, it’s more about refinement than reinventing the wheel—or in this case, the trunk.

The boot space compared to other Honda models
Within the Honda family, the CR-V is the king of the castle, the ruler of the roost, the... well, you get the picture. It lords over its domain with a boot space vastly superior to its siblings. For perspective, the pint-sized Honda Jazz and its rugged cousin, the Jazz Crosstar, offer a mere 304 liters. Even the sleek Honda Civic Type R, with its boy racer charm, can only muster 410 liters. It’s clear that if boot space is your battlefield, the CR-V wields the mightiest sword in all of Honda-dom.
How does the boot space of the Honda CR-V compare to it's nearest competitors?
But how does it fare against the outsiders, the so-called rivals in the vast automotive kingdom? Let's pit it against, say, the sleek BMW X1, with its 420 liters of boot space, or the versatile Nissan Qashqai and its 410 liters. The CR-V laughs in the face of such numbers, dwarfing them with room to spare. Not even the rugged charm of the Subaru Forester with its 406 liters can compete with our champion. However, it’s not all victory laps for the CR-V, as the SEAT Tarraco, a dark horse, emerges with 760 liters, showing that every king has its conqueror. Still, in the grand scheme of things, the CR-V holds its ground admirably against most foes, proving that when it comes to boot space, it's a heavyweight contender not easily outmatched.
