So you might be shopping around for a new or used treadmill knowing that you will have to move it around later, so obviously if you are picking up a used treadmill through any of the common means then you will have to pick it up and haul it away in your car.
Can a treadmill fit in your car?
Based on the dimensions of the treadmill and the car seats folded down, only a select number of treadmills can fit in a car. It is limited to treadmills that fold completely flat and are less than 55" wide that can fit in most common cars.
6 Treadmills That Will Fit in Most “Common” Cars
We have researched some of the most common/popular cars of the past decade to get you easy-to-understand measurements of these cars.
Trunk Space with Seats Folded Down:
Toyota Camry | Honda Accord | Honda Civic | Toyota Corolla | Toyota Prius |
|---|---|---|---|---|
54” x 55” x 58” (in) | 79.7” x 54” x 57” (in) | 78” x 55” x 56” (in) | 56” x 54” x 61” (in) | 78” x 54” x 56” (in) |
After exploring their maximum interior storage capacities we will then take a look at the treadmills that you can safely fit in these vehicles for transport.
To be candid, these more popular cars on the market are usually slightly smaller and have less storage capacity, but we will still find you some more compact yet high-quality treadmills that fit in them regardless!
【2-in-1-Under-Desk Treadmill】 The unique advantage of this treadmill is it can be used completely flat so you can place it under a desk, or alternatively, it can be used with the handrail raised like a regular treadmill.
【Quiet Motor and Shock Absorption System】The smooth and quiet 2.25hp motor, combined with the durable steel frame and shock absorption system makes for a comfortable running experience.
Quick Note:
It is extremely time-consuming to find the interior cargo dimensions in an LxWxH format, as the standardized measurements nowadays are in Cubic Feet (but what normal person really understands that?), so trust us when we say this was a labor of love for you wonderful readers!
In case you opt to rent a minivan: We did put together an article here that shares which ones fit inside of minivans, in case you are interested.
Cargo Volume (Seats Folded)
Toyota Camry
I’m pretty sure every other person I know owns a Toyota Camry. It has essentially been the most popular car model of the past decade. My guess is a lot of people have tried to haul a treadmill in one of these, so I apologize for my tardiness in writing this article.
But better late than never...so here we go!
- 66” x 45” x 15.4” (in)
- 5.5’ x 3.75’ x 1.3’ (ft)
- 15.4 cu. ft. (measured for trunk space)
- 26.8 cu.ft. (truck w/seats folded)

Honda Accord
The dimensions of all of these popular cars are actually extremely similar and standardized with very little deviation. The same can be said for the storage capacity, which is all in all fairly similar with slight changes.
- 68” x 47” x 15.7” (in)
- 5.6’ x 3.9’ x 1.3’ (ft)
- >16.7 cu. ft. (measured for trunk space)
- 28.4 cu.ft. (truck w/seats folded)
Honda Civic
So there is actually a range of dimensions offered for the Honda Civic Models, but we will be using the general base model with a truck and foldable seats, this is because it is the most common model you see sold on the market over the past few years.
- 66” x 45” x 15.8” (in)
- 5.4’ x 3.8’ x 1.3’ (ft)
- 15.1 cu. ft. (measured for trunk space)
- 26.4 cu.ft. (truck w/seats folded)
Toyota Corolla
The Corolla gets interesting because the trunk itself has less space, but the seats dropping down make for extremely comparable space as any other car on the list.
- 68” x 47” x 15.6” (in)
- 5.6’ x 3.9’ x 1.3’ (ft)
- 13.1 cu. ft. (measured for trunk space)
- 28.4 cu.ft. (truck w/seats folded)
Toyota Prius
The Toyota Prius is one of the sleepers on this list because when the seats are dropped then you have the makings of some real storage space in your car.
- 64” x 48” x 15.3” (in)
- 5.3’ x 4’ x 1.3’ (ft)
- 25 cu. ft. (measured for trunk space)
- 50 cu.ft. (truck w/seats folded)
