The 2022 Honda Civic sedan’s trunk measures 14.8 cubic-feet, which is 0.3 cu-ft smaller than the previous Civic’s, however nonetheless actually enormous for a automobile labeled “compact.” Actually, its trunk is mainly the identical dimension as that of the Mazda6 and inside spitting distance of most different midsize sedans. It blows away numerous compact luxurious fashions, together with the Cadillac CT4 and BMW 2 Collection Grand Coupe. On paper at the very least.
Let’s check out how a lot there may be by way of precise baggage. I am going to additionally evaluate it to the Honda Accord in addition to the opposite compact sedan I’ve baggage examined, the Mazda3.
Right here it’s. Massive opening, extensive on the rear, typically straightforward to load.
The hinges are egg crushers, however that is the extent of their downward movement. These of most of the midsize sedans I’ve examined are bigger.
Now, on to the luggage. As in each baggage take a look at I do, I exploit two midsize curler suitcases that will have to be checked in on the airport (26 inches lengthy, 16 extensive, 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 embrace my spouse’s fancy in a single day bag simply to spruce issues up a bit (21L x 12W x 12D).
First, you’ll be able to see above that the 4 largest luggage can match standing up width sensible. That is one thing widespread amongst midsize sedans, together with the segment-leading Honda Accord. Mainly, the massive distinction is the quantity of depth behind these luggage. Mainly, there’s sufficient room left over within the Accord for that small blue bag up there to put down on its stomach. It needs to be on its facet within the Civic.
Now, with all the luggage inside, together with the flamboyant bag. It is just about full, however there is a bit more room left over and it was a bit simpler to load than the Mazda3 sedan trunk, which additionally surprisingly swallowed all the luggage. You may see it beneath left.
However, the Accord (above proper) has an nearly comical quantity of area left over. There was really sufficient for me to stuff in a 38-quart Coleman cooler and a duffle bag.
Mainly, meaning the Civic has the trunk of a midsize sedan and the Accord has the trunk of a midsize wagon.
