Which cars offer plenty of cargo space?
Are you looking for a practical vehicle with plenty of cargo space? This is the case for the vast majority of drivers, and the primary reason behind the success of SUVs. However, there are options for those who prefer cars.
Any examples? Ah, but you've come to the right place, because we've got plenty to give you, in every style.
Let's start with subcompact cars. There are very few of them left on the market these days... except, of course, for used models! The Honda Fit is the first name you should think of. Its trunk space increases from 470 to no less than 1,492 liters when the rear seats are folded down. In addition, the Magic Seat can be folded up to increase loading options. Another recommendation: the Hyundai Accent Hatchback with a 616-liter trunk.
When it comes to compact cars, the current-generation Kia Forte is among the roomiest, both the sedan (434 liters) and the Forte5 (741 liters). Naturally, it's best to opt for a hatchback to benefit from greater cargo volume. The Hyundai Elantra GT could carry between 705 and 1,560 liters, depending on the position of the rear seats, and the former Honda Civic Hatchback varies between 728 and 1,308 liters. Not bad.
Want more? The now-defunct Volkswagen Golf SportWagen, ultra-spacious as well as being great to drive, boasted a boot capacity of 861 liters, more than some SUVs. With the bench seat folded down, this rises to 1,883 liters. Bring your luggage and camping gear!
As for mid-size cars, the biggest trunks are found in two defunct Americans, the Chevrolet Malibu (447 liters) and Ford Fusion (453 liters), but don't forget the Volkswagen Passat (450 liters). A notch higher still, in full-size sedans, the Chevrolet Impala (532 liters) is hard to beat.
Finally, which used electric car would be best for cargo space? To this question, we answer the Kia Soul EV and Nissan LEAF. Although they don't have a front trunk like the Tesla Model 3, for example, their cargo volume ranges from around 650 to 1,600 liters, making them interesting for travel.
