cargo area
Where goods go
The cargo area is the section of a vehicle designed for storing goods or luggage rather than passengers.
In cars and SUVs, it's the space behind the rear seats: We loaded the camping gear into the cargo area.
In aircraft and ships, cargo areas are dedicated holds for freight.
The term emphasizes utility over comfort—functional space for stuff, not people.
