cargo capacity for the LB? - Toyota Yaris Forums

I would like to know what the SQUARE footage is (talking about just the cargo floor/platform area, not including the space from floor to roof) with rear seats folded down on both the Yaris and Fit. I'll bet there isn't that much difference.

this is the most important number... of course on paper higher numbers look better.

I'd be surprised if the Fit had a significant advantage over the Yaris in real world cargo hauling. I use my Yaris to transport cargo on a regular basis. It's big enough to take several of those large box's that wouldn't fit in a Sedan. The front passenger seat might not fold flat, but it does fold forward and stay in place once it's there.

From experience, the Yaris's cargo height is adequate, so getting a few extra inch on the height is not going to make much of a difference. What would really improve the cargo capacity is extra width. Which brings to mind the upcoming euro Corolla, which looks like the Yaris's big brother. That car will probably have very usable cargo capacity (and still look good doing it).

Here in Toronto, we've got a few rentals company that specialize in renting Fit/Versa/Yaris and they rent them by the hour. If you're really serious about the cargo hauling capacity, rent em and go crazy. Make sure you've got some extremely large box's to keep things real.
