Ya I figured the battery would be what is taking up the space.  Just curious if anyone knew that meant the cargo area was not as tall, or something else

Hybrid have battery and some components in the rear cargo so that takes some space.

The regular cr-v has a cargo volume of at least 37.6 cubic feet, the hybrid version only has 33.2 cubic feet.  I would like to know if anyone knows how the inner dimension of that area is changed.  Is it shorter up/down? narrower between the sidewalls? or not as deep from back of car to back of seats? Thanks for any help

Difference between 2022 regular cr-v and cr-v hybrid with cargo space, how is it different?
