some people said the sedan cargo capacity is bigger...
i really don't get it... is it true...? (toyota.ca says bigger for sedan)
well, i understand sedan has bigger trunk... because of it's longer tail...
but with the rear seats down... isn't liftback should have more cargo space than sedan... or am i wrong...???:iono:

i like liftback better because i assumed liftback has more cargo room...
now i see sedan getting more beautiful pictures taken... i'm afraid i'm drifting over to sedan...:evil:

For the hatch, you will have to lower the back seats to get bigger than sedan cargo capacity. That means when you gain cargo capacity, you lose passenger capacity at the same time. However, if it is that kind of flexibility that you want, the hatch should be good for you.

Technically, i think everyone on this forum should be less petty. If you dont have anything positive to say, dont post it! :)


Anyhow ... the cargo space / luggage capacity in the Sedan IS BIGGER. Handsdown, the Sedan has more "Boot Space" whilst retaining 5 seats and able legroom for passengers. If you are wanting to take a 68cm tv home, you would probably be able to do it in the hatch with the rear seats down, however i have no doubt you could fit MUCH MORE luggage in a sedan without losing ANY seat space.



It has 905mm of couple distance (the distance from the front seat to the rear seat hip point) and an impressive 475 litres of boot capacity.
Boot capacity has been increased from 464 in the Echo Sedan to 475 litres in the Yaris Sedan.
Toyota designed the new Yaris sedan for maximum interior versatility and convenience.
Versatility and convenience features include a 60:40-split-fold rear seat with retractable head restraints, a 475-litre boot and a host of interior storage locations.
A flat rear floor adds to rear-seat foot space.

To me this is really the point. If you need to transport a few big boxes now and then, being able to fold the seats down is more important that the larger trunk space in the sedan. I don't see the point of the sedan -- at least for my needs, of course.
