Toyota RAV4 Boot Size: 580 Litres — The World's Most Popular SUV Rental, Measured
The Toyota RAV4 (2019–present) offers 580 litres in 2WD or 529 litres in hybrid AWD trim. Massive aperture, flat floor, and easy loading make it one of the best rental picks for families.
The Toyota RAV4 (AXAH5, 2019–present) is the best-selling SUV on the planet and one of the most common mid-size SUV rentals globally. Its boot figures are genuinely impressive: 580L in standard 2WD trim, or 529L in hybrid and AWD variants where the rear differential or hybrid battery takes a slice of the underfloor. A 117 cm aperture width and 81 cm aperture height make it one of the easiest SUVs to load in the segment.
Toyota RAV4 Boot Dimensions (AXAH5, 2019–present)
| Measurement | 2WD (petrol) | Hybrid / AWD |
|---|---|---|
| Boot volume | 580 litres | 529 litres |
| Floor width | 112 cm | 112 cm |
| Load depth | 83 cm | 76 cm |
| Internal height | 84 cm | 84 cm |
| Aperture width | 117 cm | 117 cm |
| Aperture height | 81 cm | 81 cm |
The 84 cm internal height means XL check-in suitcases (86 cm) only just exceed the boot — they enter through the 81 cm aperture at a slight tilt and stand at a lean inside. Standard large suitcases (76 cm) have 8 cm of clearance at the aperture and stand comfortably upright. The 117 cm aperture width — wider than any compact SUV — allows two large bags to be loaded side by side with room to spare.

RAV4 Hybrid: How Much Boot Space Do You Lose?
The hybrid RAV4 loses 51L compared to the 2WD petrol variant — the electric motor that drives the rear axle takes up underfloor space, reducing the load depth from 83 cm to 76 cm. In practice this is barely noticeable: both versions handle family luggage comfortably, and the fuel savings on a week-long trip will be significant. Don't downgrade from hybrid to petrol for boot space — the difference is marginal.
