How much cargo volume is in the 2018 Rio Hatchback?

Whether you are a frequent traveler, go all out at the grocery store, or just like the peace of mind of knowing that you have extended cargo room, the Rio Hatchback ought to satisfy you. The standard Rio sedan offers 13.7 cubic feet of cargo space. That’s not too shabby, really. Given the car’s compact nature, that’s plenty of room. However, the hatchback model features almost four times as much cargo space. When the rear seats are folded down, drivers will have just under 50 cubic feet of maximum interior cargo space. The hatchback Rio measures more than a foot shorter than the sedan model, yet its body style allows it to have much more space for whatever you need to pack up.
