Tesla Model 3 Highland Trunk Dimensions (2024+)
The 2024+ Tesla Model 3 Highland trunk is a sedan cargo system, not a hatchback. Below we separate rear trunk, under-floor storage, frunk, and seats-folded capacity using EV Database, Wikipedia, owner-measured Highland frunk data, and BASENOR fitment checks.

Rear Trunk and Under-Floor Storage
For everyday packing, remember 594 L / 21.0 cu ft with the rear seats up on the Highland Long Range AWD EU-market reference car. That includes the rear trunk and under-floor storage, not a tall SUV cargo bay. The opening is wide enough for rollers, grocery bins, and duffels, but the fixed rear glass limits tall boxes.
In our fitment checks, Highland is strongest for flat, layered loads: two mid-size rollers, a stroller frame with wheels removed, charging gear in the lower bin, and soft bags tucked around the wheel-well curves.
Seats Folded: What Actually Changes
| Load case | Fit expectation | Tradeoff |
|---|---|---|
| Golf bag | Fits most reliably with driver angled or rear seat folded | Long clubs use diagonal width. |
| Road bike | Usually front wheel off, rear seats folded | Sedan opening is the bottleneck, not floor length. |
| Flat-pack furniture | Short boxes fit; long boxes need diagonal loading | Check trunk opening height before buying. |
| Large dog crate | Usually not a clean fit | The Model Y cargo opening is better for tall crates. |
EV Database lists 977 L / 34.5 cu ft as maximum cargo volume for the Highland Long Range AWD EU-market reference. Recharged also notes Tesla's recent 24.1 cu ft / 682 L total-cargo figure with five passengers. We use EV Database's 977 L as the safer published comparison number because it is trim-specific.
Frunk and Load Limits
The Highland frunk adds 88 L / 3.1 cu ft, enough for a mobile connector bag, two small grocery bags, or a soft backpack. Owner measurements from a European display car put the opening near 72 cm wide, 35 cm deep, and 23 cm tall.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much trunk space does the Model 3 Highland have?
EV Database lists 594 L, or 21.0 cu ft, of cargo volume for the Model 3 Highland Long Range AWD EU-market reference with seats up. That includes the rear cargo area, usable lower-bin space, and sedan-style storage zones. It is useful for luggage and grocery runs, but it is not shaped like a Model Y hatch.
What is the seats-folded cargo volume?
EV Database lists 977 L, or 34.5 cu ft, as maximum cargo volume for the Highland Long Range AWD EU-market reference. Real-world usability depends on the trunk opening. Long flat items fit better than tall boxes because the rear glass and trunk lid limit vertical loading before the cargo reaches the floor.
Can a bike fit in the Highland trunk?
A road bike or smaller mountain bike can fit with the rear seats folded, but plan to remove the front wheel. The floor length is usable; the sedan opening is the constraint. If you regularly carry bikes, a Model Y or a hitch-mounted rack is easier than forcing the frame through the Model 3 trunk opening.
Does Highland trunk storage differ from Legacy Model 3?
The published exterior footprint stayed close, but Highland changed the rear bumper and interior trim details. Flexible cargo mats and soft organizers may cross-fit, while rigid trunk trays and bumper guards should be Highland-specific. Small gaps matter because water, grit, and charging cables move around the lower storage bin.
How big is the Highland frunk?
Launch coverage cites 88 L, or 3.1 cu ft, for the Highland frunk. Owner measurements from a European display car put the opening around 72 cm wide, 35 cm deep, and 23 cm tall. Soft grocery bags and charging gear fit well; hard suitcases are usually too tall.
