Quick answer

Among 23 sedans and coupes with a similar-sized cabin, the average is 12.3 cu ft, so the iQ carries less than 96% of them. It gives 5.1% of its interior to luggage, one of the smallest shares we measure. A folded stroller will not fit alongside luggage.

What actually fits in a iQ

It has stayed at about 4 cu ft in every model year we hold, 2011 to 2015.
