The Subaru Crosstrek, which is known as the XV in international markets, is the successor to the highly successful Outback Sport. The 2022 version is currently ranked sixth best SUV by US News, with an overall score of 7.8/10. As a subcompact crossover, it doesn’t offer much in terms of trunk space, but how much cargo space does it have?
The 2022 Subaru Crosstrek has a maximum cargo volume of 55.3 cubic feet behind the first row and 20.8 cubic feet behind the rear seats. The Crosstrek Hybrid trim has a smaller cargo area behind the first and second rows of just 43.1 cubic feet and 15.9 cubic feet, respectively.
In this guide, I’ll go into more detail about the 2022 Subaru Crosstrek’s trunk space, as well as discuss the various interior and exterior measurements and other important specs.
2022 Subaru Crosstrek Trunk Dimensions
According to the Subaru website, the 2022 Crosstrek has a starting price of $23,145. I don’t need to tell you that that’s quite a sum of money, so before you spend that much on a vehicle, you should generally have a feel for what the vehicle has to offer.
First, let’s go over the 2022 Subaru Crosstrek’s trunk space. You can use the table below as a reference for comparing the different cargo volumes available in the five Crosstrek trim options.
| Crosstrek Trim | Base | Premium | Sport | Limited | Hybrid |
| Cargo Volume Behind 1st Row | 55.3 cu. ft. | 55.3 cu. ft. | 55.3 cu. ft. | 55.3 cu. ft. | 43.1 cu. ft. |

The table above shows that four of the five Subaru Crosstrek trims have identical cargo volumes. When looking at the Hybrid’s cargo space, it has roughly 22% less maximum cargo space and 26% less cargo space behind the second row than the other trims, despite having the highest starting price of them all.
Now, to put this into comparison, let’s take a look at how the 2022 Subaru Crosstrek fares against similar compact SUVs in terms of maximum cargo volume.
