Each 2021 Honda Accord has a trunk that measures 16.7 cubic-feet in quantity, together with the Accord Hybrid whose previous variations had severely decreased cargo capability. Meaning it ought to have the very best cargo house of any midsize household sedan. Though I’ve discovered throughout these baggage checks that counting on cubic-feet is an imperfect technique of evaluating one car to a different, on this case, a real-world check confirms the Accord’s trunk supremacy.
Having completed a comparable cargo capability check throughout our midsize household sedan comparability check, this was actually a foregone conclusion. Nonetheless, I hadn’t completed the actual check with all six luggage, so I might solely loosely state that the Accord can be higher than the Toyota Camry, Hyundai Sonata, VW Passat and Subaru Legacy. How a lot higher remains to be to be answered. Different members of the section? Effectively, the Mazda6 was included in that comparability and was clearly the smallest. The remaining two household sedans, the Kia K5 and Nissan Altima, haven’t been luggage-tested, however their quantity figures would point out they need to be behind the Accord.
Let’s have a look at the way it does it.
Yep, certain appears like a giant trunk to me. Be aware how a lot house there’s behind the wheel wells and the way there are not any uncommon and/or giant protrusions that can lead to quantity measurements not corresponding with precise real-world luggage-storing house.
You can too see right here that there are not any giant issues hanging down from the parcel shelf, hidden impediments that successfully cancel out obtainable quantity. The gooseneck “egg-crusher” hinges, in the meantime, don’t reside in their very own sheathed tunnels (as within the Subaru Legacy), but additionally do not appear to considerably impede house (as within the VW Passat).
OK, on to luggage. As in each baggage check I do, I exploit two midsize curler suitcases that may should be checked in on the airport (26 inches lengthy, 16 large, 11 deep), two roll-aboard suitcases that simply barely match within the overhead (24L x 15W x 10D), and one smaller roll-aboard that matches simply (23L x 15W x 10D). I additionally embody my spouse’s fancy in a single day bag simply to spruce issues up a bit (21L x 12W x 12D).
Clockwise from prime: 2021 Accord, Toyota Camry, VW Passat, Subaru Legacy, Hyundai Sonata
First, as I’ve with all these midsize sedans, I attempted to suit the 4 greatest luggage on their facet in between the wheel wells. Attention-grabbing, I couldn’t within the Accord … ish. I might as an alternative match one of many greatest luggage then the three carry-ons. This is able to be just like the Passat (decrease proper). HOWEVER! The Accord’s trunk can also be uniquely tall, that means I might as an alternative stack the 4 greatest luggage to make them match. How thrilling.
Both manner you chop it, you are left with an terrible lot of house behind the baggage in addition to behind the wheel wells. Let’s have a look at what you may fill it with.
Yep, all the baggage match. With room to spare. And in that room to spare, you may match …
An entire rattling cooler! A 38-quart one. This sucker often solely makes appearances in actually spacious stuff just like the Toyota 4Runner, Subaru Outback, Land Rover Defender, Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4. However right here it’s in a household sedan.
Now, it ought to be stated that the weirdly inflexible ends of the flowery bag did not enable it to suit alongside the cooler. Nevertheless, the blue duffle bag is identical quantity as the flowery bag and managed to suit, so let’s simply go forward and stay with this end result. There’s even some room left over.
Of the household sedans examined, this was by far the largest further merchandise that might be added. The Hyundai Sonata managed a Pack ‘N Play, and the Camry match a small folded stroller. The entire above is healthier than quite a few compact crossovers who battle simply to accommodate the fundamental set of six luggage.
So there you go: The Honda Accord trunk is large enough to suit six items of baggage and a complete rattling cooler.
