Comparing the Cargo Capacity of 2027 Subaru Models

Cargo space shapes daily life more than most people expect. It decides if the hockey bags fit on the first try, if the dog has room to stretch out and if a weekend at the cottage needs a roof box. Subaru builds its lineup around that kind of practical room, and the 2027 models give you plenty of sizes to choose from.

This guide compares the cargo capacity of six 2027 Subaru models: the Crosstrek, Uncharted, Solterra, Forester, Trailseeker and Outback. You will find the numbers with the rear seats up and folded, along with floor lengths and handy details that help you match each model to the gear you carry most.

At a Glance: 2027 Subaru Cargo Capacity by Model

Outback: The Biggest Cargo Area in the Lineup

The 2027 Outback leads this group with 980 L behind the rear seats and 2,280 L with them folded. Its cargo floor measures 1,086 mm long with the seats up and 1,929 mm with the seats down. The space between the wheel wells is 1,100 mm, so wide items like a stack of plastic bins slide in flat.

The Outback also carries more on top. Its standard roof rails are rated for 800 lbs (363 kg) static and 220 lbs (100 kg) dynamic. Inside, utility hooks hold up to 6.0 lbs (2.7 kg) each, and a multipurpose cargo cover can work as a partition or a bumper cover when loading muddy gear.

Forester: Big Room in a Compact Footprint

The 2027 Forester gives you 838 L behind the rear seats on the Convenience trim, and 2,107 L with the seats folded. Most other trims, including the Hybrid, offer 779 L seats up and 1,957 L seats down. The Limited has 762 L behind the rear seats and 1,957 L when folded.

The Forester cargo floor stretches from 928 mm with the seats up to 1,796 mm with them folded. The liftgate opening reaches 1,250 mm at its widest point, which makes loading a bike or a large cooler simple.

• Convenience: 838 L seats up, 2,107 L seats folded
• Hybrid and most other trims: 779 L seats up, 1,957 L seats folded
• Limited: 762 L seats up, 1,957 L seats folded
• 1,100 mm between the wheel wells on every trim

Trailseeker: The Roomiest Subaru EV

The 2027 Trailseeker is the largest all-electric Subaru in terms of cargo space. The Touring and Limited trims offer 886 L behind the rear seats and 2,095 L with them folded. The Premier provides 860 L seats up and 2,033 L seats folded.

With the seats up, the Trailseeker cargo floor measures 1,094 mm long, and the cargo space is up to 926 mm tall. Its roof rails are rated for 699 lbs (317 kg) static and 176 lbs (80 kg) dynamic for roof boxes and ski racks.

Solterra: Everyday Space for EV Drivers

The 2027 Solterra has 674 L behind the rear seats and 1,798 L with them folded. The cargo floor measures 985 mm long with the seats up, which leaves plenty of room for a full week of groceries.

On the Solterra Limited, a hands-free power liftgate with a kick sensor opens the hatch when your arms are full, and a 120V outlet in the cargo area can power small devices on a camping trip.

Uncharted: A Compact EV That Still Hauls

The 2027 Uncharted is the newest member of the Subaru EV family. It offers 651 L behind the rear seats and 1,685 L with them folded, the same on every trim. The cargo floor measures 886 mm with the seats up.

The Uncharted is 4,515 mm long, so it slips into tight parking spots while still offering more room behind the rear seats than the Crosstrek. The all-wheel-drive Sport and GT trims add roof rails rated for 699 lbs (317 kg) static.

Crosstrek: Easy to Park, Easy to Pack

The 2027 Crosstrek with the gas engine provides 564 L behind the rear seats and 1,549 L with them folded. The Crosstrek Hybrid offers 527 L seats up and 1,433 L seats folded.

The cargo floor on the gas Crosstrek runs 816 mm long with the seats up and 1,624 mm with the seats down. That is enough length for a folded stroller or a pair of camp chairs.

Which Subaru Fits Your Cargo Needs?

If you want the most room possible, the Outback is the clear choice with 2,280 L of maximum cargo space and a 1,929 mm folded cargo floor. Families who want a slightly smaller footprint will find the Forester delivers up to 2,107 L with the seats folded.

Drivers ready to go electric have three strong options. The Trailseeker offers up to 2,095 L and is the EV to pick for large gear. The Solterra gives balanced everyday space at 1,798 L, and the Uncharted fits 1,685 L into a compact size. For city drivers who value easy parking, the Crosstrek offers up to 1,549 L in a small package.
