Have you ever found yourself puzzled about whether to choose the high or low position when purchasing a cargo mat for your Honda CR-V? If so, you're certainly not alone. Beneath that seemingly simple panel lies one of the CR-V's most practical yet often confusing features: the adjustable dual-level cargo floor.
Selecting the perfect cargo mat for your CR-V hinges on one crucial prerequisite: confirming whether your cargo floor is set to the "high" or "low" position. This directly determines whether the mat will achieve a perfect fit. In this article, we'll teach you the quickest way to identify your current setup and explain how to make the most suitable choice based on your usage habits.
How to Check Your CR-V Cargo Floor Position
For CR-V Hybrid & FCEV
If you own a Honda CR-V Hybrid and FCEV, your vehicle only supports the high position.
That’s because the battery pack is located underneath the cargo floor, leaving no room to lower it.
So for CR-V Hybrid models, please always select the “High Position” cargo mat.
All Lasfit CR-V Hybrid mats are designed precisely for this configuration to ensure perfect fit and coverage.
For CR-V Gas
It only takes a few seconds to figure out whether your CR-V uses the high or low position floor. You don’t need to fold the seats or take measurements—Just Look at the Cargo Area Floor Height.
Stand behind your vehicle and look straight at the cargo floor compared to the rear bumper (the metal edge of the trunk opening).
- If the floor is almost level with the bumper, your CR-V is in the High Position.
- If the floor sits noticeably lower—you can clearly see a drop of about 2–3 inches (5–8 cm) from the bumper to the floor—then your CR-V is in the Low Position.
This is the quickest way to judge it visually. A “low” cargo floor means extra depth for storage, while a “high” floor gives you a flat loading surface.

What’s Different Between the High and Low Cargo Tray Positions?
High Position — Flat, Convenient, and Hidden Storage
The High Position therefore offers:
- A flat, even loading surface
- Quick access for everyday use
- Extra hidden storage to keep your trunk organized and clutter-free
In the High Position, the cargo floor sits almost level with the rear bumper.
This setup makes loading and unloading heavy items easier — you can slide them straight in without lifting over a deep edge.
But there’s another benefit many owners love:
Under the floor panel is a hidden storage compartment for small or valuable items.
Low Position — Deeper, Larger, and More Capacity
In the Low Position, the cargo floor panel sits several inches lower than the bumper edge.
This creates a deeper cargo area, giving you more vertical space for tall or bulky items.
It’s perfect for:
- Grocery bags or tall boxes
- Camping gear, sports equipment, or plants
- Large suitcases that need extra height clearance
While you lose the hidden compartment, you gain more total cargo volume — ideal for drivers who often carry taller loads.
