The CRV fits a big 88 keyboard and case (I have a p250).

Here is the picture of the seats folded :

If you fold the seats down this way, the case will only fit in slanted.

However if it's folded like this :

The 88 keyboard case will fit in slanted, but "flat". If you tilt the
case up, I can also put stuff underneath the keyboard like books,
stands, my seat, etc.

If the 88 keyboard case is on it's side, I can fit 4 people plus
books, amps, etc. Tight....but doable.
