There are two: the Cubic Metre for dry volumes like a room or a load of sand, and the Litre for fluids.

'

They are linked: 1 m3 = 1000l; and that volume of pure water has a mass of 1 tonne (1000 kilogrammes).

'

For some reason - ignorance probably - car manufacturers' advertising-agents have taken to using the litre to describe their vehicles' load capacities where the linear (length, breadth, height) dimensions metres would be rather more useful. Perhaps they think buyers will use the cars as fish-tanks!
