The Chrysler FIFTH AVENUE has 18 cu ft of cargo space. In practice that is 3 checked suitcases, or 9 carry-ons, or about 14 supermarket bags. A folded pushchair fits. Against 481 cars with a similar-sized cabin it sits below the average of 20.2 cu ft.
What actually fits in a FIFTH AVENUE
Cubic feet are an abstraction. Here is the same number in things people actually load, with a packing allowance — a boot is not a cube, and corners go to waste.
| What you are loading | How many fit | Each item |
|---|---|---|
| Checked suitcases | 3 | 27 × 21 × 14″ — 4.6 cu ft |
| Carry-on cases | 9 | 22 × 14 × 9″ — 1.6 cu ft |
| Supermarket bags | 14 | about 1 cu ft each |
| Golf bags | 2 | full set, about 5 cu ft |
| Folded pushchair | Fits | about 6 cu ft |
Counts assume 80% usable volume: luggage does not tessellate, and a wheel arch eats the rest.
Cabin or boot — where the space went
Every car is a fixed envelope, and designers decide how to split it between people and things. The share below is the honest way to compare an estate with a coupé of the same footprint.
| Space | Volume | Share of total |
|---|---|---|
| Passenger cabin | 104 cu ft | |
| Cargo area | 18 cu ft | |
| Total interior | 122 cu ft |
Under 15% to luggage — the space went to passengers, not their bags.
Against cars with a similar cabin
Compared with 481 models whose passenger space is within eight cubic feet — a fairer group than marketing classes, which put an estate and a coupé in the same bracket.
| Measure | This car | Similar cars | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cargo volume | 18 cu ft | 20.2 cu ft | -2.2 cu ft |
| In checked suitcases | 3 | 3 | +0 |

How we count
Cargo and passenger volumes come from EPA interior-volume records — the same figures manufacturers file for the window sticker, measured to a standard method rather than claimed in a brochure.
The luggage counts are ours. We assume 80% usable volume, because a boot is not a cube: wheel arches, a sloping tailgate and the shape of the cases themselves waste the rest. Suitcase sizes are the airline standards — 22 × 14 × 9″ for carry-on, 27 × 21 × 14″ for checked. Numbers are deliberately conservative; if we say four cases fit, four cases fit.
