Crossovers with spacious luggage racks are in demand, because when you are on a family vacation or when you go to the country, you need to take a lot of things with you. Especially for you, we have selected ten SUVs with the largest luggage compartment.

10th place: Cadillac SRX

Luggage space: 827 liters, 1,730 with the rear seats folded.

The car is one of the most popular American crossovers. Cadillac looks solid, and this solidity is present not only outside, but also inside. The salon is comfortable and ergonomic in American style.

There are two power units: 3 and 3.6 liters, both gasoline engines and equipped with automatic transmissions. The owners point out one drawback: the car is not suitable for Russian roads. The power reserve here is solid, but the ground clearance does not even reach 20 centimeters, the suspension is soft, but quickly begins to creak, the front overhang is low. Fuel consumption in the city, even according to official figures, is 23 liters per 100 km.

The minimum cost of a comfortable, convenient, but voracious and exclusively asphalt Cadillac SRX is $ 34,700.

9th place: Audi Q7

Luggage space: 890 liters, 2075 with the rear seats folded.

The German crossover has 7 seats, so the cargo compartment can be increased by easily folding a row or two of seats. In addition, the new generation of Audi is equipped with an intelligent system of opening and closing the boot "from the foot": swipe under the rear bumper with your foot - the door and opened.

The car has enough advantages. In line audi engines Q7 2015 has only 2 engines so far: a 3-liter gasoline engine producing 333 hp. and diesel with 249 hp and the same 3 liters. Acceleration to a hundred takes 6.1 and 6.9 seconds, respectively, so no one will feel a lack of dynamics with some of the best European power units. With air suspension, it is felt that even at 200 km / h, the two-ton crossover does not reach the speed limit.

The car has one noticeable minus: the price is $ 58,600.

8th place: Chevrolet Equinox

Luggage compartment volume: 892 liters, 1804 with the rear seats folded.

The appearance of the budget American crossover is not satisfactory: it is thought out, modern and brutal. It is spacious inside, you can put your feet on the torpedo, and stand slightly bent over. The owners complain about the abundance of plastic, which is understandable for the price category.

The new generation Equinox is equipped with two petrol engines of 2.4 and 3.6 liters with 182 and 301 horsepower respectively. With an older engine, the crossover rides swiftly and with a tangible power reserve, and it is easy to control, which is noted by almost all owners.

The negative features of the car is that it is not officially sold in Russia, however, if you wish, you can buy it both in Europe and in the United States within the range of 14-15 thousand dollars. It's not a tricky business, if not a single but: spare parts will have to be ordered in the States, which means extra costs and time. And you have to change a lot, because in this car the stabilizer struts often break down, the ABS is wise and the filters need to be replaced.

7th place: Volvo XC 90

Luggage compartment volume: 936 liters, 1899 with seats folded.

The Swedish crossover needs no further introduction. It is appreciated in Russia for its reliability, quality, discreet style and safety. There is enough space in the trunk for long trips to nature, and with the rear seats folded down, a berth with a length of 2.2 meters is formed.
Traditionally, for the manufacturer, the emphasis here is on the safety and comfort of passengers. The cabin will be comfortable for everyone, since with a minimum price of $ 52,800 there are no complaints about the quality of finishes and materials. There are a lot of electronics inside, you have to figure out how and what to control.
Three engines are offered:
Diesel, 2 liters, 225 hp, 5.8 liters. per 100 km. in a mixed cycle;
· Gasoline, 2 liters, 320 hp, 7.7 liters;
· Hybrid, 2 liters, 320 hp, 2.1 liters AI-95.

Of course, attention is drawn to the hybrid version of the crossover, but you will have to pay $ 78,300 for it.

6th place: Luxgen 7 SUV

Luggage compartment volume: 972 liters, 1739 with the rear seats folded.

The Taiwanese car is positioned as an affordable premium class. The salon is really good here, especially at this price. The tailgate is equipped with an electric drive, it rises and falls gently, which you will not see on many higher class cars. The rear seats can be pushed or folded if desired.
From a technical point of view, everything is not so simple. There are a lot of electronic assistants, adjustments and settings, all-round visibility, but the automatic transmission works inhibited, the engine is offered at all - for 175 horses, gasoline, 2.2 liters. It does not always have enough power, as almost all owners say.

Luxgen 7 SUV costs a modest $ 19,000, but when buying, check with the dealer if he is repairing the car and if he has the necessary parts in stock.

5th place: Toyota Venza

Luggage space: 975 liters, 1988 with rear seats folded.

Verified car from a trusted manufacturer. The owners note the spaciousness in the cabin and the trunk in which you can sleep if you fold the rear seats. It is upsetting that in such a voluminous cargo compartment there are no belts, nets and other devices for securing loads.
The crossover is in demand in the secondary market, so there will be no problems with resale. There will be no difficulty in finding spare parts and service: over the decades we have developed a network of dealers and service shops that do an excellent job of repairing Toyota.
The salon is of a firm quality and restrained, but there is enough functionality and ergonomics here. It is upsetting that only one engine is officially offered - a 2.7-liter gasoline engine with 185 horsepower. You can't call it economical: the claimed 10 liters per hundred in mixed mode in practice easily turns into 13. The price starts at $ 35360.

4th place: Linkoln MKX

Luggage space: 1053 liters, 1948 with rear seats folded.

This American crossover is a rare guest on Russian roads. It will not be possible to buy it officially, but it will not be difficult in the secondary market. The new generation of the car will go on sale next year, so it can also get to Russia.

The owners of Linkoln MKX have practically no complaints about it. The luggage compartment is more than enough to travel with the whole family out of town with several boxes of toys, a barbecue, a tent and an awning. The car is massive and comfortable in the American way, both inside and in terms of control. Of course, you will have to get used to the dimensions and the overview, but after a while you will understand that the crossover swallows unevenness of the road without difficulty (on 20 wheels), and the cruise control works so well that at least read the magazine while driving.
The new Linkoln MKX will be equipped with two petrol engines:
2.7 liters., Turbocharging, 335 hp;
3.7 liters, 303 hp

The owners of the crossover are waiting for the traditional comfort and quality of finishing materials (Linkoln is the Ford division that produces premium crossovers). The expected cost is 40 thousand dollars.

3rd place: Ford Edge

Luggage capacity: 1110 liters, 2079 with the rear seats folded.

Ford Edge is similar to the last representative of the rating both externally and in terms of characteristics, except that its interior design is not so colorful. But here it is spacious, there is enough space in the trunk for family things while traveling.

The owners have contradictory views on Ford: the engines have a lot of horses, but they are gluttonous, the interior is spacious but boring. Four-wheel drive is optional here, the front bumper is low, and it will break. No one liked the standard audio system, but there were no complaints about noise isolation.
Current ford generation Edge is only offered with petrol powertrains:
2 liters, 240 hp;
3.5 liters, 285 hp;
· 3.7 liters., 305 hp.

Minimum the price is $ 20,600.

2nd place: Toyota 4Runner

Luggage compartment volume: 1311 liters, 2514 with seats folded.

As the name suggests, this vehicle is specifically designed for travel. 7 seats in the cabin and just a huge trunk will allow you to take with you everything you need for a comfortable stay or take out the whole crop from the dacha at a time.

This is not an SUV, but on occasion it will not be afraid to turn off the asphalt: a ground clearance of 229 mm and a 4-liter four-wheel drive engine allow you to feel confident on moderate off-road.
The owners note that the car is reliable and comfortable, which is especially felt during long trips. This is probably why Toyota 4Runner is well bought in the secondary market, where not very old model can be found for 30 thousand dollars.

1st place: GMC Acadia

Luggage compartment volume: 1985 liters, 3288 with seats folded.

The crossover from General Motors is supplied to the markets of the USA and Saudi Arabia, you can also buy it from us, if you wish. In the segment, GMC is positioned higher than Chevrolet. The car is focused on family vacations: three rows of seats, everything is easily folded and retracted into the floor, under the boot floor there is a niche for small things. There are two hatches in the cabin, visibility and quality of finishing are not satisfactory.

The luggage door can serve as a canopy, lighting is built into it, which will come in handy at night. The fuel consumption of the Russians will not please: even on the highway Acadia eats at least 10 liters. It's better not to risk it off-road - the clearance is 19 cm, and with a length of 5 meters you can get stuck very much. However, for trips on the asphalt, it is difficult to find a more spacious and more convenient SUV.

The main disadvantage of the car is accessibility. GMC Acadia is delivered to us only by order, and customs clearance of a crossover with a 3.6-liter engine is not cheap.

Outcome

Crossovers with a spacious trunk differ greatly not only in the coveted liters of usable space, but also in price, comfort and availability. With these cars you take whatever you want with you and feel at home everywhere.

Everyone knows that the size of the trunk is measured in cubic units. Automakers, as a rule, indicate equivalent data in liters in technical specifications. Because it is more familiar to us to operate with liters than with milliliters and cubic centimeters. You shouldn't grin, alcohol has nothing to do with it.

But what is behind these dry numbers? How, without seeing the car, can you determine whether the trunk is large enough? And even if the car is in front of you, how do you know how comfortable and functional this trunk is? And most importantly, will he fully perform the functions assigned to him?

First of all, you need to decide what and in what quantity will be transported in this very trunk. Buying a car with a lot of cargo space just because it's bigger than your neighbor's is stupid. And it makes no sense to transport the entire service life of a set of first-aid kit and fire extinguisher dangling from corner to corner.

The convenience and functionality of the trunk largely depends on the type of body. All their diversity is reduced to only three types.

Hatchbacks. These nimble and agile "weasels" come in different classes and, accordingly, sizes. But in any case, when choosing this type of body, you do not need to rely on a large volume under the fifth door. The hatchback is a city car and is designed to meet the needs of the city. By opening the door along with the rear window, the hatchback trunk is, first of all, convenient. Especially when loading oversized items (the same baby carriage). By the way, even the smallest 3 or 5-door car can be turned into a micro van by folding the rear seats.

Liftbacks, compact vans and crossovers are also variations on the hatchback theme. To them, all of the above applies to the same extent as to conventional hatchbacks. The trunk of liftbacks is usually slightly larger; compact van - slightly higher from floor to ceiling; crossovers - with a higher loading height.

The average trunk volume of a hatchback car is (excluding the volume with folded seats):

1) Less than 250 liters - small (typical for class A cars: Daewoo Matiz, Chevrolet Spark, Peugeot 107).

2) From 250 to 450 liters - medium (typical for most cars of class "B" and "C": VW Polo / Golf, Peugeot 207/308, Mazda 2/3).

3) From 450 liters - large (typical for large representatives of class "C" and compact vans. ( Skoda Octavia, Nissan Tiida, Citroen C4 Picasso).

Sedans. The most popular body type in Russia, as a rule, also has a fairly spacious compartment for luggage. Even the smallest representatives of sedans can boast of a good trunk volume. An important parameter the compartment behind the backs of the rear sofa is its shape. The trunk of a three-volume car can be various combinations deep / shallow, wide / narrow, short / long. However, it is not very suitable for placing oversized items, since it has a small doorway relative to hatchbacks.

It is worth paying attention to the protruding parts inside the luggage compartment. Rectangular sidewalls make it easy to place things and keep them from snagging when it's time to empty the boot. Look closely at the design of the hinges that lift the boot lid. When closing, they should not crumple the luggage, but be removed into separate compartments or folded. Also, in a well-designed sedan, when overturning the backs of the rear seats, nothing should interfere with the placement of long lengths.

A special case of a sedan body is its two-door version - a coupe.

The average trunk volume of cars in the sedan body is (excluding the volume with folded seats):

1) From 400 to 500 liters - medium (typical for most D-class cars: Audi A4, Honda Accord, Peugeot 407).

2) More than 500 liters - large (typical for large representatives of class "D" ( Ford mondeo, Toyota Avensis), as well as "budget" sedans (Renault Logan, Huyndai Solaris).

Station wagons. The most pragmatic body type combines spaciousness and ease of loading. Perfect for those who lead an active lifestyle. Regular trips to the country, out of town with a large company or long trips - a station wagon car will easily accommodate everything that is needed on such routes. Do not be afraid of its dimensions, even the most spacious station wagons differ from soplatform sedans or hatchbacks by a maximum of 10-20 cm in length. But, due to the higher roof in the stern, they have excellent displacement figures.

A good combination of spaciousness, small external dimensions and prices are possessed by golf class station wagons. They allow excellent maneuvering in conditions of dense city traffic, while simultaneously transporting 5 people and up to a cubic meter of cargo. In some representatives of the class, to increase the functionality, the rear seats, in addition to being able to fold, are also completely removed from the passenger compartment.

The main thing is to understand that such a trunk is really needed, and the use of its entire volume will be regular. Otherwise, as a rule, a more expensive station wagon will be an unjustified purchase.

Particular cases of the station wagon are minivans, "heels", "parquet" and full-fledged SUVs.

The average volume of the trunk of a station wagon is (excluding the volume with folded seats):

1) From 500 to 600 liters - medium (typical for class station wagons "C" and "D": Skoda Octavia Combi, Peugeot 308 SW, Ford Mondeo Wagon, VW Passat Variant).

2) Over 600 liters - large (typical for "heels" and various SUVs: Peugeot Partner Tepee, VW Caddy Life, Mitsubishi outlander XL, Land Rover Discovery).

Conclusion: The small trunk of the car is not a drawback, but rather a feature. The solid dimensions of the cargo compartment can only be justified if it is regularly used for its intended purpose. In most cases, even 200-300 liters will be enough for all daily needs. In general, everything that sexologists say to men is also true of trunks ...

Crossovers are extremely popular in our country due to the combination of two characteristics: on the one hand, they have the features of an SUV (increased ground clearance, high seating position of the driver, the possibility of four-wheel drive), and on the other hand, they are comfortable and relatively budgetary, as they are built mainly on a passenger platform with a monocoque body. Crossovers are often chosen for their sporty character, accentuated by aggressive design, significant capacity and increased cross-country ability, which is important for driving on bad roads, especially in difficult weather conditions.

The great popularity of this category of cars on the market determines a wide selection of crossovers for every taste and wallet: you can find quite high-quality cars with a decent price-quality ratio, even up to 1,000,000 rubles. Of course, the best specimens with a really large internal volume, a full-fledged 4x4 drive and modern electronics are in the higher price category, but different buyers also have different priorities: design and comfort are important for someone, while fuel economy and unpretentious maintenance are important for someone.

We offer you an overview of the top 20 best SUVs on the Russian market in four categories:

• the best compact crossovers;
• popular medium-capacity SUVs;
• comfort class SUVs;
• the best luxury crossovers.

Best compact crossovers

Five SUVs worth up to 1,000,000 rubles fell into this category. All of them are quite compact, have engines from 1.6 liters to 2.0 liters, even in the maximum configuration, but at the same time, they are very economical due to their low weight and dimensions and offer the consumer quite comfortable driving. Disadvantages - often modest equipment, small trunk size and not too dynamic characteristics of power units are fully redeemed at a reasonable price.

5 Citroen C3 Aircross

Best cabin capacity
Country: France
Average price: 980,000 rubles.
Rating (2019): 4.3

If for you the appearance of a car and its options are defining indicators when choosing, be sure to pay attention to this model. Here, the engineers seem to have implemented all their developments, and fit a maximum of useful options into a relatively inexpensive car. It has everything from the banal heated seats and steering wheel to the sliding panoramic roof and rain sensors. This is not to mention the parking sensors and a huge 7-inch monitor on the control panel.

In addition, the manufacturer offers a huge selection of external modifications. Here they are not limited to the choice of color. You can choose from spoilers, body kits, radiator grilles and more. In this case, the internal filling will not change. Here the choice is not so extensive. There are only two options available: a diesel or gasoline engine and a manual or automatic transmission. Probably, this model cannot be called the best, since this is a typical SUV, of which there are many in the modern market, but the fact that this is the most attractive car in appearance is very difficult to dispute.

4 Renault Duster

Attractive price with good quality
Country: France
Average price: 800,000 rubles.
Rating (2019): 4.5

Sometimes it is very difficult to find the ideal ratio of parameters such as price and quality. Especially when it comes to buying a crossover. But the French manufacturer seems to have managed to find the golden mean, thanks to which this model has been the best-selling model for several years now, and is produced specifically for Russia. Why is this car so remarkable? To begin with, this is the most inexpensive option on the market today. However, many experts equate it with a full-fledged SUV. And all due to the fact that under the hood of the car a powerful gasoline or diesel engine, there is a plug-in four-wheel drive, and high ground clearance allows you to travel on the most difficult off-road.

And all this at the most attractive price, but are there any disadvantages? According to experts, this is the best crossover in this price category, but buyers have some complaints about their appearance. Indeed, this car can hardly be called the most attractive, although this is already a matter of taste. But if you need a workhorse, then this is the best option.

3 Nissan Qashqai

Best capacity and comfort
Country: Japan
Average price: 973,000 rubles.
Rating (2019): 4.7

The updated compact crossover from Nissan, of course, has the highest price in the rating even in the initial configuration, but it is also the most spacious in the class, the safest and best equipped. It has a spacious interior, trunk - 430 liters, ground clearance from 185 to 200 mm.

According to EuroNCAP, the car has 5 stars for active and passive safety, which is not surprising: the base model already has front and side airbags, emergency braking assistance and EPS vehicle stabilization system.

Comfort level - six-way adjustment of the driver's seat, heated seats, heated mirrors, electric lifters for all doors and a five-inch multi-function display on the instrument panel. The main disadvantage is the price. The basic equipment is at the border of 1,000,000 rubles, and the top models of the line are clearly overtaking it.

2 Renault SANDERO Stepway

The most compact crossover
Country: France
Average price: 599,990 rubles.
Rating (2019): 4.8

Despite modest power characteristics (the maximum engine power in the lineup is 113 hp), this SUV demonstrates excellent dynamics and controllability. With a turning radius of just 4.85 m and a length of 4.08 m, you can confidently maneuver even in the most dense city traffic. Front power windows, two airbags and heated seats are offered as standard.

An important plus is the ability to choose a robotic box or ACKP. An impressive advantage of this car in its class is four stars in the EuroNCAP rating for safety. The owners also note the softness and energy intensity of the suspension, the high ground clearance that allows you to feel confident in the countryside and the scratch-resistant wheel arches and bumper.

1 KIA Soul

Optimal price-quality ratio
Country: South Korea
Average price: 850 900 rubles.
Rating (2019): 4.9

This super-compact SUV with short overhangs has a surprisingly roomy interior and memorable looks. Good equipment with power units from 124 to 204 hp and the ability to choose a mechanical, robotic or automatic transmission determine its popularity among consumers.

Technical excellence can be added four stars in the EuroNCAP rating for safety and a fairly rich initial package: air conditioning, electric power steering, audio system with six speakers and Bluetooth. As disadvantages, consumers mention a rigid suspension, thin metal and insufficiently durable paintwork, as well as a small ground clearance - only 153 mm.

The best mid-range crossovers

If the budget for the purchase of a crossover is more than a million rubles, the cars become much more spacious and comfortable. As a rule, all cars in this class have five stars in terms of safety, a fairly wide selection of power units, gearbox options and additional options. Together with the dimensions, the power of the engines increases, and hence the fuel consumption.

5 Honda CR-V

The softest crossover
Country: Japan
Average price: 1 699 900 rubles.
Rating (2019): 4.5

The trademark softness of the ride, providing excellent comfort to drivers and passengers, characterizes the updated CR-V crossover from the Japanese company Honda. This is fully facilitated by independent suspension... The basic equipment has a 2-liter gasoline engine with a manual transmission or a variator to choose from. All-wheel drive is possible only in the older models of the line.

Users note the spacious interior, large trunk volume (589 liters) and excellent noise insulation of the SUV. The disadvantages include a clearance of only 180 mm and some lack of dynamics in the limiting modes. But you can praise the climate control already in the initial configuration, eight airbags and wide comfortable seats of both the first and second rows.

4 KIA Sportage

Most economical
Country: South Korea
Average price: 1 226 900 rubles.
Rating (2019): 4.6

The updated KIA crossover has better handling, noise isolation and reduced vibration compared to its predecessor thanks to the upgraded chassis and suspension. In the base, the car is equipped with a gasoline 2-liter 150-horsepower engine with a manual transmission, optionally more powerful gasoline or diesel units are available, as well as automatic transmissions.

Comfortable and functional interior, good cornering stability, active safety system are noted by the owners of this SUV as the main advantages of the model. Fuel consumption is one of the lowest in the class - 7.9 liters in the combined cycle for a gasoline engine and 6.3 liters for a diesel engine. Disadvantages - low ground clearance (183 mm) and lack of all-wheel drive in the basic configuration.

3 Haval F7

Best Chinese Crossover
Country: China
Average price: 1,499,000 rubles.
Rating (2019): 4.8

Until recently, the Chinese auto industry remained in the shadow of its Japanese and European competitors. It was famous for its replicas and inexpensive cost. But times have changed, and today the Chinese car no longer seems like something strange and tasteless. Just look at this model, released for Russia and entered the market in the summer of 2019. This is a full-fledged SUV, although it is classified as a crossover, which is somewhat strange.

Under the hood, it has a 1.5 or 2.0 liter gasoline engine. The first one gives out 150 horse power, and the second is already 190 and these are very high rates. In the basic configuration, the worker is front axle, but for a small surcharge, you can install four-wheel drive. True, the box will remain the same. Here it is a seven-speed robot with the ability to engage lower gears. The build quality is excellent, which is very important for a Chinese car, since this was the main problem of all goods from the Middle Kingdom until recently.

2 SKODA KAROQ

Wide range of trim levels
Country: Czech Republic
Average price: 1,500,000 rubles.
Rating (2019): 4.8

In 2012, the Yeti from the Czech manufacturer Skoda burst into the Russian market. The car quickly gained popularity, as it was the embodiment of the postulate of price and quality. The car has undergone restyling several times, and now, in 2018, a new model enters the market, which many have attributed to the Yeti family, although this is far from the case.

Before us is a completely new car, which, in terms of technical characteristics, is closer to SUVs than to crossovers. The dimensions have increased greatly compared to previous models, and the clearance has also increased. Under the hood, the 1.5-liter engine was replaced by a two-liter unit with a turbine, producing over 150 horsepower. Alternatively, a diesel version can be installed, further increasing power and reducing fuel consumption. But the main advantage that the manufacturer has retained despite the increase in all characteristics is the price. It is still inexpensive and reliable car, released as if specially for Russia. It looks so harmonious on our roads.

1 Volkswagen Tiguan

Best design
Country: Germany
Average price: 1,349,000 rubles.
Rating (2019): 4.9

The visiting card of the Volkswagen concern is the design verified to the smallest detail, strict classic lines and well-thought-out ergonomics of the interior. The leader of many ratings, including the crossover rating up to 2 million rubles. In the base, the car is equipped with a 125 hp gasoline engine with a manual gearbox, optionally available more powerful gasoline units of 150, 180 and 220 hp or a 150-horsepower diesel engine, as well as robotic box gear.

The initial configuration is front-wheel drive, the ground clearance is 200 mm, but in more advanced versions, you can get the 4Motion Active Control all-wheel drive system, which allows you to switch driving modes depending on the type of road. The disadvantages of the basic version include the small screen of the media system (5 inches) and the lack of a navigator and a rear view camera. But this small defect is more than offset by advanced active and passive safety systems and five stars in EuroNCAP crash tests.

The best comfort crossovers

In cars, the cost of which exceeds 2,000,000 rubles, it is difficult to surprise the consumer with safety, capacity and good driving characteristics. Rather, the manufacturers of such machines compete in comfort, ergonomics and ingenious technical solutions.

5 Volvo XC90

Reliability and build quality
Country: Sweden
Average price: 3,500,000 rubles.
Rating (2019): 4.4

Are you looking for a fast car that develops incredible speed in a matter of seconds? Then you are clearly not here. But if such criteria as safety and comfort level are in the first place for you, then this crossover is especially for you. What makes Volvo cars different? First of all, their reliability. You won't be able to call such a cheap car, but you can forget about repairs for many years.

This is a real cruiser. He will not give you a ride with a breeze and will not develop a hundred kilometers in three seconds. On the other hand, in his salon you will feel no less comfortable than at home. Also here are the best safety indicators and this is not an empty advertising statement of the manufacturer, but the results of numerous tests, on which out of a hundred possible points the car received, attention, a hundred points. Looking closely at this model, it seems that it is cut from a single piece of metal. Everything is so harmonious and well-adjusted. Nothing superfluous and at the same time maxims options that increase both the safety of the driver and passengers, and overall comfort. It just doesn't make sense to list all the bells and whistles, since this will require a separate review.

4 Audi Q5 quattro

Affordable price for a luxury car
Country: Germany
Average price: 3 270 000 rubles.
Rating (2019): 4.5

Before us is the best combination of price and quality. Someone now will probably say, how so, more than 3 million, is this an inexpensive car? Yes, that's right, because we have Audi in front of us, which means the best reliability indicators and the highest build quality.

it updated modelintroduced to the market in 2019. In fact, it is a continuation of the brand's line, and there are no fundamental changes in this version. Basically, the modification affected the appearance of the car, which became even more stylish, although it did not suffer much from the lack of various body kits and the complex interweaving of smooth curves. For Russia, this crossover comes in several trim levels, and the basic version is equipped with 2 liter engine and automatic transmission. All-wheel drive is optional, and in this case it makes sense to purchase it, since despite the fact that it is a crossover, it easily copes even with the most difficult off-road conditions. True, not the highest ground clearance fails a little, but nothing can be done about it, the car is initially urban.

3 Mazda CX-9

Better dynamics
Country: Japan
Average price: 2,890,000 rubles.
Rating (2019): 4.8

The updated flagship of Mazda, the seven-seater CX-9 crossover, is presented on the Russian market in only two trim levels, which are not too different from each other. The basic version is all-wheel drive, with a 2.5-liter turbo engine and a proprietary six-speed automatic Skyactive-drive. A rather heavy car accelerates to 100 km / h in 8 seconds.

The increased ground clearance of 220 mm, atypical for Japanese crossovers, allows the car to feel confident in the countryside, which is also facilitated by the adaptive torque distribution system. SUV owners praise the excellent cornering stability and the high level of comfort when driving over bumps.

2 Ford Explorer

The most spacious
Country: USA
Average price: 2,354,000 rubles.
Rating (2019): 4.9

Traditionally for Ford cars, this premium crossover is the most spacious in its class. It has a seven-seater and a trunk of 595 liters, which turns into 2285 liters with the second and third row seats folded. All-wheel drive, 3.5-liter engine and automatic transmission complete the picture already in the basic version.

The engineers of the concern also took care of comfort when driving on rough terrain - an independent suspension and a system for adapting the drive to road conditions is available in all versions of the car. A ground clearance of 211 mm and an active safety system round out the benefits.

1 Nissan MURANO

Best exterior
Country: Japan
Average price: 2,460,000 rubles.
Rating (2019): 4.9

This SUV is the flagship of the model nissan series... Its current, elongated, fast-paced profile has earned the admiration of buyers it deserves. The interior does not lag behind - both the first and second row are equipped with Zero Gravity seating, developed in collaboration with NASA.

The basic 3.5 liter unit is offered complete with a variator and front-wheel drive.

An interesting detail - a hybrid engine is available in more advanced trim levels. For better adaptation to Russian conditions, the chassis was modified, the ground clearance was increased and the track was widened. The owners also note the impeccable soundproofing of the body and the remarkable ergonomics of the cabin.

The best luxury crossovers

Average price: 5,800,000 rubles.
Rating (2019): 4.4

BMW X-series models have long become classics, embodying the best characteristics in terms of speed, cross-country ability, and convenience. In 2019, a new model entered the market, already the seventh, and it is radically different from the previous modification. Here the manufacturer decided to return to the fifth version, and you can feel it at first glance at this car. The car became larger, a third row of seats appeared. The appearance has also changed, but with detailed consideration you understand that this is a variation of the fifth and not the sixth model.

What does the manufacturer offer us for almost 6 million rubles? Choice of gasoline or diesel engine. The first has a volume of three liters and a capacity of almost 400 horses. The diesel unit is weaker, but more economical and profitable in terms of repair. The box is exclusively automatic, and four-wheel drive is optional.

4 INFINITY QX80

The largest SUV
Country: Japan
Average price: 3,950,000 rubles.
Rating (2019): 4.5

Infinity's flagship lineup is indeed larger than the competition: it can be seven or even eight and weighs 2.8 tons. Therefore, it has a super-spacious interior, passengers are comfortable even in the third row. Leather and wood trim and an impeccable control panel, as well as comfortable seats, appeal to all crossover owners.

A 5.6 liter petrol engine with a capacity of 405 hp is needed to accelerate the giant to 100 km / h in 6.5 seconds. All-wheel drive and a seven-speed automatic transmission are available as standard.

3 Toyota Highlander

Best in class comfort
Country: Japan

Rating (2019): 4.7

Luxury crossover produced by Toyota possesses impressive dimensions and power - already in the base it has seven seats and a 3.5-liter power unit. The eight-speed automatic transmission is designed to provide smooth acceleration.

The saturation of the car with a variety of electronics designed to ensure the convenience of the driver and passengers is impressive: in the initial configuration, the Highlander has three-zone climate control, a rear-view camera with dynamic lane lines, a blind spot monitoring system, assistance when lifting and descending a slope, as well as an integrated active management.

2 Mercedes-Benz GLE

Updated model with a huge number of options
Country: Germany
Average price: 5,500,000 rubles.
Rating (2019): 4.8

Every year, the Mercedes concern pleases its fans with a new model. In 2019, it became the GLE, which is essentially an upgrade to the previous model. First of all, the appearance has changed. The car has grown significantly, turning from a compact crossover into a full-fledged SUV. The base has grown by 80 centimeters, and the ground clearance has increased to 280.

A three-liter unit with a capacity of 357 horsepower is installed as standard under the hood. Agree, impressive, and it's easy to imagine what this car is capable of, both in terms of speed and in terms of cross-country ability, especially if we consider all-wheel drive. A diesel option is also available to choose from. The engine has a volume of 2 liters and a capacity of 245 horses. This is also an impressive result, and also the most economical one. Well, as usual, the highest build quality and reliability. What Mercedes has been famous for for more than a dozen years.

1 Volkswagen Touareg

Bestseller in the class
Country: Germany
Average price: 3,029,000 rubles.
Rating (2019): 4.9

This verified, balanced crossover has long been considered the most the best option in its class - it is dynamic, comfortable, stable on the course and in turns. The ergonomics of the cabin and the controls in it are almost perfect, the owners emphasize that they don't need to adjust to anything: they sat down and drove off.

In Russia, the model is available with V6 and V8 FSI petrol engines with power from 249 to 360 hp, as well as diesel engines from 204 to 340 hp. The box is an eight-speed automatic, four-wheel drive in all versions. This SUV has very interesting options: adaptive high beam, air suspension that increases off-road clearance, a panoramic all-round visibility system. It is not surprising that at a reasonable price for its class, the car is the sales leader in the luxury segment.

An article about passenger cars with the largest luggage racks - their features and characteristics. At the end of the article - an interesting video about useful things in the trunk of a car.

Still, Russians are more economic than foreigners, and having bought a car, they even drive it to the nearest bakery. Therefore, the trunk can always come in handy for harvesting from the dacha, helping a friend move, going on an excursion tour or to the sea. And for family people who need to place bulky bags with diapers, scooters, toys, the more space in the car, the better. What cars can boast not only general practicality, but also the huge size of the luggage compartment?

1. Ford Excursion - 4200 liters

This model is not only the largest in the Ford family, but also exceeds the dimensions of any other serial "all-terrain vehicle". The giant car first appeared in 1999, and while it doesn't fit the narrow streets of Europe, Scandinavia, Canada and Russia have enjoyed using this monster for years.

The length of its body is 6 meters, while the wheelbase is 3480 m. The front and rear bumpers are equipped with a special piece of iron, thanks to which the car will not "saddle" the passenger car in a collision.

The car is equipped with excellent European optics, and the side mirrors have special LEDs that indicate to all traffic participants about the change to another lane. This is done so that in some situations the Excursion driver may simply not notice a passenger car stuck next to him and start a maneuver.

The last row of seats is considered by some to be too cramped, but if you fold both the outer seats and the second row, the owner will receive a car with the largest trunk - as much as 4200 liters. The lightweight, composite boot lid is split into three, not two for added convenience.

Under the hood of this automobile monster is a 6.8-liter gasoline engine with a capacity of 310 "horses", an alternative is a 7.3-liter diesel engine with a capacity of 235 "horses". Both motors are paired with a hydromechanical automatic transmission.

2. Chevrolet Suburban - 3720 liters

The following cars with a large trunk are true mastodons that saw the light of day back in 1935. They are slightly inferior to the previous participant in the rating in terms of body length - "only" 5575 mm.

Dubbed the Texas Limousine, the Suburban offers versatility, incredible payload, towing and accommodation for up to 9 people. Some owners remove the second row of seats in order to get unrealistically roomy and comfortable salon... Why the second one? Because with the third row folded down, you get a 3720-liter trunk, in which you can even carry large-sized furniture.

Despite its size, the car, based on a powerful frame, has a very smooth movement, ignoring obstacles and bumps in the way.

Under the hood is a 6-liter 355-horsepower engine, which is now available in a hybrid version, or a 5.3-liter 320-horsepower engine. Both of them rapidly accelerate a multi-kilogram car and at the same time require about 30 liters per hundred kilometers.

The Suburban's undercarriage is equipped with a StabiliTrak system, thus influencing the brakes, transmission and steering, which greatly increases the safety of driving a huge machine in all conditions and road situations without the risk of overturning.

Driving performance is controlled by traction control of the driving wheels (EETA), electronic redistribution of brake forces (DRL), and all models are equipped with ABS. Suburban can tow a 5-ton trailer by purchasing outriggers with oversized rear-view mirrors. So the driver can easily follow the road and at the same time control the position of the trailer behind.

3. Toyota 4Runner - 2514 liters

The mid-size SUV, produced since 1984, is designed for long-distance travel or for large companies. For these purposes, it is equipped with seven roomy seats and an equally impressive trunk for a large number of things of different calibers.

This is a brutal, slightly rough car with a powerful bumper-bumper and spectacular optics. Despite the fact that he is very far from premium segment, it has a unique function.

The CC button is a magic wand when hitting impassable mud and hilly terrain. One has only to activate it, and the system itself will control the opening of the throttle valve, calculate the required torque for the wheels and contribute to maximum traction with the surface, eliminating slipping.
The driver will only have to grip the steering wheel tighter and steer the car away from the dangerous place.

While it cannot be fully described as an SUV, the 4-liter all-wheel drive engine and 229mm ground clearance make it easy to drive off-road.

4. Land Rover Discovery - 2500 liters

Everyone is pleased with this premium SUV with bright dynamic characteristics, no less striking appearance and interior design, modern and technological for active people.

The rather impressive dimensions do not seem heavy due to the harmonious proportions, which makes it appropriate both in urban areas and off-road. Its front part has a short overhang making it passable in all conditions, and the body itself has powerful protection around its entire perimeter. No less interesting is the reinforced rear bumper, the lights located just above and a very stylish spoiler.

If we choose a car with a large trunk, then this is definitely Discovery. If you fold the rear seats of its 7-seater cabin, you can get 2,500 liters of usable space. Moreover, the owners emphasize the very high carrying capacity of the machine, which makes it possible to transport things not only oversized, but also quite heavy.

5. Ford Edge - 2079 liters

Owners have mixed feelings about this member of the Ford family. On the one hand, it is spacious and comfortable. On the other hand, the design of the cabin was very disappointing from an aesthetic point of view. And on the third, with high engine power, it is also extremely gluttonous.

• too low front bumper raises concerns about its safety on bumps;
• four-wheel drive is optional;
• standard audio system leaves much to be desired;
• only gasoline engines.

But all this does not detract from the fact that Ford Edge models are cars with a large trunk volume that can accommodate a fantastic amount of all kinds of luggage, sports equipment and even furniture.

6. Hyundai Santa Fe - 1680 liters

It was created by an urban mid-size SUV with good dynamic characteristics provided by five powerful engine options. Although the Sonata's single-platform sibling, its independent front and rear spring suspension and all-wheel drive provide ample off-road capability to tackle a wide variety of road surfaces, driving significantly increases fuel consumption.

A seemingly modest trunk volume of 585 liters with the rear seats folded turns into 1680 liters, which makes it easy to place and transport a medium-sized refrigerator.

7. Renault Logan MCV - 1518 liters

In the station wagon body these are classic cars with a large trunk. If we compare with competitors in at least three main parameters: price, engine and roominess, then MCV is unmatched.

Let this car not be called a handsome man, its proportions and design do not have aesthetic completeness, but it is a real economical, unpretentious and budget "workhorse". Average fuel consumption on the highway is about 4.7 l / km, in the city - no more than 5.7 l / km.

Its wheelbase is large enough - 2 634 mm, but still it is an exclusively 5-seater model, excluding the possibility of installing an additional row of seats.

8. Hyundai Creta - 1396 liters

Korean designers managed to create a family car, very literate in terms of geometry, with a large trunk, which is much more capacious than competitors of a similar volume. The stated size is 402 liters without the seats folded down, but it has many interesting options. Along the edges there are niches for small things, for example, first aid kits, the backlight will make it possible to see the contents even at night, and a special lid will securely fix the luggage.

The luggage compartment floor is flush with the bottom edge of the door, which is not very practical in terms of lifting heavy items. The full-size spare wheel is located under the floor, which is more convenient than when it is under the bottom of the car. By the way, the boot floor is made of durable material, it can be raised and fixed in order to pull out the spare tire with both hands.

9.Ford EcoSport - 1230 liters

If a family car with a large boot is required, then this model seems to be a good candidate.

Its very compact dimensions can mislead the potential owner. Despite the fact that the documentary volume of the luggage compartment is only 362 liters, thanks to simple transformations it expands several times.

For example, if the rear seats are folded down and simply positioned vertically behind the front seats, the boot will increase to 705 liters. If you fold them forward, then as much as 1230 liters, which already contain an average washing machine.

To ensure maximum space, the designers specially moved the spare wheel to the rear door, just like a real SUV.

10. Skoda Rapid - 530 liters

Those considering inexpensive cars with a large trunk should pay attention to this representative. This is really a very budget option with excellent choice power units, high ground clearance and a decent trunk for a sedan. And in terms of internal dimensions, this particular Skoda model has no competitors in its class.

The ground clearance was increased specifically for Russian conditions, so that it was 160 mm (compared to the European 136 mm). But the trunk of domestic craftsmen is 20 liters, but reduced. The European version has 550 liters, but in Russia a spare wheel was placed in it, which took up valuable space. Nevertheless, for moving, trips to the dacha or to a hypermarket for a wholesale purchase, even this size of the department will seem huge.

Video about useful things in the car trunk:

Crossovers are traditionally purchased by those people who often travel out of town - for a picnic, picking mushrooms, to the dacha, and make many kilometers of trips, including with the whole family and an abundance of things. Especially for them, automakers produce models with a spacious luggage compartment, in which they will find a place for crops, sports equipment, tents, and suitcases. We present ten of the most outstanding representatives of all SUV families, and during the review we will also find out which crossover has the largest trunk.

10th place: Cadillac SRX (827 HP, 1730 HP with seats retracted)

Let's start the comparison of crossovers' luggage racks with one of the most popular American cars, comfortable and ergonomic. This is a mid-size crossover, solid externally and internally, whose forms are smooth, and the interior is trimmed with expensive materials. At the heart of the "American" there are 2 units at choice: 3-liter or 3.6-liter petrol units with automatic transmission.

The owners note the car's impressive power reserve and soft suspension. But with a small ground clearance of 20 centimeters and a too low front overhang, it is absolutely not adapted to Russian climatic conditions and roads. The suspension can begin to creak quickly enough, and fuel consumption in city mode is up to 23 liters per hundred kilometers. All this makes the car gluttonous and completely urban, which, together with the price of 34.7 thousand dollars, makes the model comfortable but wasteful.

9th place: Audi Q7 (890 HP, 2075 HP with seats retracted)

This 7-seater German handsome full-size crossover has a whole list of advantages. The trunk has the ability to open and close automatically - you just have to hold your foot under the bumper so that the sensors read the command. The line of engines, like that of the previous contestant, is presented in two options: a 3-liter gasoline engine for 333 horsepower and a 3-liter diesel engine for 249 “horses”. The first accelerates the car to 100 km in 6.1 seconds, the second - in 6, 9 seconds, and with air suspension even at a speed of 200 km / h, you realize that this is absolutely not the limit for a 2-ton monster.

The only significant drawback of an almost ideal car is its cost - 58, 6 thousand dollars.

8th place: Chevrolet Equinox (892 HP, 1804 HP with seats removed)

Despite the fact that this SUV belongs to budget class, it doesn't look like that. The designers approached the look very thoughtfully, making it modern and brutal. You can find fault with the interior in the context of too much plastic in the decoration.

The dimensions of the car are such that in it a person of average height can be in a standing position, only slightly bending his head. And while sitting, you can quite comfortably throw your legs over the torpedo.

In the new generation, the "American" received two gasoline engines: a 2.4-liter 182-horsepower and a 3.6-liter 301-horsepower. Even during a fast ride on the most powerful engine, it is felt that the car still has a reserve of power.

Unfortunately, it is not officially supplied to Russia, so motorists have to order it from America or Europe, where its cost varies between 14-15 thousand dollars. This is the most significant negative feature, since spare parts will have to be ordered in the same way and wait for delivery from abroad. And consumables will really be needed, since the owners note weak stabilizer struts, the need for frequent filter replacement, and problems with ABS.

7th place: Volvo XC 90 (936 HP, 1899 HP with seats retracted)

Russian car owners have long appreciated the reliability, laconic image and safety of the Swedish crossover. Moreover, for the latter quality, the European Committee for Crash Testing awarded the model a record 37 points for the level of driver and pedestrian safety.

Not the largest trunk in the crossover is compensated by the fact that, thanks to the folded seats, you can put items 2.2 meters long into the compartment. The entire vehicle has been designed to provide maximum space and comfort to the driver and passengers.

The range of engines for the model is diverse:

• diesel 2-liter 225-horsepower, consuming 5.8 liters of fuel per 100 km;
• gasoline 2-liter 320-horsepower, consuming 7.7 liters;
• a hybrid 2-liter 320-horsepower, which will require 2.1 liters of gasoline per hundred kilometers.

The interior of the car is impeccable even in the most budgetary version - the owner will have no complaints about the quality of the finish or the materials used. But you will have to deal with electronics, since there is a lot of it in the car.

Of course, the hybrid version is the most attractive for the car enthusiast. The only repulsive factor is the price: more than 78 thousand dollars versus 50 thousand for the gasoline version.

6th place: Luxgen 7 SUV (972 HP, 1739 with seats removed)

The Taiwanese brand is finding more and more resonance in the hearts of car owners. This model belongs to the premium segment, which is confirmed by a truly chic interior. The rear seats can be easily pushed back or folded down for more luggage space. And the electric tailgate itself works so softly and silently, which is not the case even on more prestigious models.

Of the shortcomings, the owners note the only gasoline 2.2-liter 175-horsepower engine, which clearly lacks its power. Another nuance is electronic assistants, of which there are many in the car, but they work intermittently and rather slowly. The cost of the car is 19 thousand dollars.

5th place: Toyota Venza (975 HP, 1988 HP with retracted seats)

This brand needs neither introduction nor unnecessary compliments - it is a proven Japanese quality for decades.

The well-made salon is austere and restrained in a masculine way, but functional and ergonomic. This is a crossover with a large trunk, where with the rear seats retracted, you can even comfortably sleep overnight. Although the owners express the wish that the manufacturer equips the compartment with any fasteners or straps to securely hold the load.

The mid-size 5-seater is also in high demand in the secondary market, so the owner may not worry about the future resale of his property. And even more so, the most eminent Japanese brand will not have problems with maintenance and repair. The price for the most budgetary configuration starts at 35.3 thousand dollars.

4th place: Lincoln MKX (1053 HP, 1948 HP with seats removed)

At the moment, this rare guest is the easiest to purchase on the secondary market, although the announced new generation of the model should reach Russia on official rights.

The owners have no complaints about this massive, purely American luxury-comfortable model. Its luggage compartment is more than enough to take the whole family and relatives out of town with tents, barbecues, things and toys. And in a luxurious salon you can transport the most distinguished guests without worrying about the level of prestige of the car.

Due to its size, this monster seems to be clumsy, but once you get behind the wheel, you are surprised by the amazing handling. Powerful 20-inch wheels overcome bumps so that the driver's coffee in a glass does not ripple. And the cruise control system is made so competently that it allows you to read newspapers while driving without worrying about your safety.

The latest version will be equipped with gasoline engines: 2.7-liter 335-horsepower with turbocharging and 3.7-liter 303-horsepower.

The declared cost for the new generation model is 40 thousand dollars.

3rd place: Ford Edge (1110 HP, 2079 HP with seats retracted)

They are called twin brothers with the previous contestant, only one of them is “poor” and the other is “rich”.

Although Ford's interior design was disappointing, it surpassed its relative with the volume of the trunk. The owners assess this model rather contradictory: good, powerful, the engine shows itself too gluttonous, and the vast interior is too boring in design. In addition, the front bumper is so low that it raises concerns about bumps. But the sound insulation of the cabin has caused a lot of praise.

The model is equipped only with gasoline engines, although in the range:

• 2-liter 240-horsepower;
• 3.5-liter 285-horsepower;
• 3.7-liter 305-strong.

The minimum price for the basic configuration starts at $ 20,000.

2nd place: Toyota 4Runner (1311 HP, 2514 with retracted seats)

The name speaks for itself - the car was created for active people, for long journeys and for operation in different conditions. A 7-seater salon for a large family or a company of like-minded people, as well as a fantastic size trunk, will help her in performing her duties.

Although it bears the name of a mid-size crossover, it will not be scared off-road. With a 4-liter engine, 229-millimeter ground clearance and all-wheel drive, the owner will not be afraid to get lost, turn off the asphalt road and overcome several difficult places.

Motorists note the high comfort, which is known on multi-day trips, and the incomparable reliability of the car.

The model is in demand both in car dealerships and in the secondary market, where its price fluctuates around 30 thousand dollars.

1st place: GMC Acadia (1985 HP, 3288 HP with retracted seats)

This is a family crossover with a large trunk and a multifunctional interior, where everything is easily transformed, folded and moved. It has 3 rows of seats, a giant trunk and even an empty space underneath for storing small items. The luggage compartment door is equipped with lighting, which will come in handy in forever cloudy Russia. Solid interior has two hatches and a luxurious windshield, which together adds visibility and light in the cabin.

One of the main drawbacks is fuel consumption, which even on the highway is over 10 liters. The next problem is the 19-millimeter ground clearance, which, with a 5-meter length of the car itself, makes it an absolute SUV.

Crossovers with a large trunk in 2017, presented on the domestic market, could be distinguished into a special automotive category. After all, they differ not only in liters of usable volume, but also in general comfort, which makes you feel like at home in the car.

Station wagon or SUV: who has the biggest trunk?

Duel of crossovers and station wagons

If you often need to carry a lot of luggage, then you have a choice: buy a station wagon or an SUV. At first glance, both classes of cars are very similar in appearance, but in fact, they are radically different from each other, starting with the height of the seats, ground clearance and ending with the volume of the trunk. So which cars are better, SUVs or station wagons? We compared the 20 most popular cars on the market in both classes.

Station wagon: Mercedes E-Class T-Model

The Mercedes E-Class station wagon has been the leader in the car market for years in terms of trunk volume. But the latest generation of the model, which starts selling in the fall of 2016, received a slightly reduced luggage compartment volume. The volume is now 670 liters and 1820 liters with the rear seats folded down. Still impressive.

Crossover: Mercedes GLE

Mercedes GLE it is the SUV equivalent of the E-Class sedan or wagon. We will remind, earlier the crossover was called ML-Class. But after renaming the entire model range, the last letter directly indicates the class of the car. The Mercedes GLE has a wheelbase similar to the E-Class. I wonder if two cars have almost the same wheelbase, which car has the larger trunk?

Surprisingly, the crossover has a trunk volume of 690 liters (with the rear seats folded 2010 liters). So the SUV has an edge. And this is taking into account the fact that the Mercedes GLE is as much as 10 centimeters shorter than the Mercedes E-Class in the station wagon.

Wagon: Skoda Superb Combi

Compared to other VW Group brands, Skoda station wagons have traditionally more spacious luggage racks. For example, the Superb Combi has a boot capacity of 660 liters and 1950 liters with the rear seats folded out. This is more than the previous generation mercedes station wagons E-Class. But let's see how the Skoda SUV of the corresponding class can answer.

SUV: Skoda Kodiaq

Skoda Superb and Skoda Kodiaq have a lot in common. The manufacturer, providing official information about the new Skoda crossover, has repeatedly stated that Kodiaq has a close relationship with the Skoda Superb. I wonder which car has more trunk? The new Skoda Superb station wagon or the new crossover Skoda Kodiaq? Surprisingly, the SUV wins again: the trunk is 720 liters. With the rear seats folded down, 2,065 liters. This is significantly more than the combi model.

Station wagon: Volkswagen Golf Variant

The Volkswagen Golf station wagon offers customers 605 liters of boot space, as well as 1,620 liters of cargo space with the rear seats folded out. Not bad in this class. For example, a station wagon Ford focus has less cargo space. Let's find out if the crossover of the corresponding class is better than the station wagon.

Crossover: Volkswagen Tiguan

In its new generation, the Tiguan crossover has grown significantly in size. The car is based on the same platform as the VW Golf and has a similar wheelbase. True, as you can see, the crossover is noticeably higher than the small Golf. So who has the biggest trunk? As a result, the crossover won here too. The volume of the trunk of the Volkswagen Tiguan is 615 liters (1655 liters with the seats folded). Of course a little more, but still more.

Estate: BMW 3 Series Touring

Previously, BMW never produced cars with large and spacious interiors. But everything changed as the Bavarian station wagons appeared. The new 3-series model in the combi body was no exception. So the car received 495 liters of trunk volume (1500 liters with the rear seats folded out). But surprisingly it is less than the VW Golf Variant.

Crossover: BMW X3

Which SUV model compares to the 3 Series station wagon? Of course a BMW X3 with the same wheelbase. This car is only 2.5 centimeters longer than "treshki". But the volume of the trunk in the X3 is much larger than the station wagon. So the design of the crossover allowed the engineers to provide the car with 550 liters of luggage space (1600 liters with the seats folded). This is another car that surpasses its passenger counterpart. In particular, this was made possible by the height of the body, which is 25 centimeters higher than the 3-series station wagon.

Station wagon: Mercedes C-Class Estate

And again we have Mercedes. Why not. After all, the company's model range makes it easy and simple to compare cars in the same class due to the new designation of cars. Just as the GLE crossover corresponds to the E-class passenger car, the GLC model corresponds to the C-class passenger cars. So how much space is in the trunk of the C-class? Only 490 liters. When the rear seats are folded down, you get 1,510 liters of cargo space. As you can see, Mercedes in this class, just like BMW, cannot provide its cars with a lot of space in the trunk.

Crossover: Mercedes GLC

The Mercedes GLC is the successor to the boxy GLK crossover. Unlike the previous generation, new SUV has become much larger. Interestingly, the new model also has a meager trunk, like the GLK? In the new crossover, the trunk volume is 550 liters (1600 liters can be provided if the rear seats are folded). So if you need German car and boot volume is important to you, the Golf Variant is preferable.

Station wagon: Audi A3 Sportback

Yes, the Sportback body is not a true combi car. This body class sits between a five-door station wagon and a conventional hatchback. The truth is, outwardly, this is not very noticeable. But if you open the trunk, then everyone will understand that in front of you is not quite a wagon. The point is the volume of cargo space, which in the Audi A3 Sportback is only 380 liters (1220 liters with the second row seats folded). This is incredibly small. Especially when comparing the car to the Golf Variant, which has the same wheelbase as the A3. True, in terms of body dimensions, the Sportback is shorter than Volkswagen by 30 centimeters.

Crossover: Audi Q3

In fact, the Audi Q3 crossover is hard to compare with the Audi A3 Sportback. Nevertheless, the Q3 is roughly the size of the A3 wheelbase. Comparing the trunks of two cars, the crossover wins again. The Q3 has a boot capacity of 460 liters (1365 liters when folded out back row seats). Yes, these figures are not great, but nevertheless, the A3 Sportback trunk is larger.

Station wagon: Hyundai i40 Kombi

It's time to leave German brands in the premium segment. Let's fast forward to Korea. For example, consider Hyundai's middle class, which is the i40. We are interested in the station wagon version. The boot capacity of this model is 553 liters and 1719 liters with the rear seats folded out. As you can see, this is more than in the corresponding BMW and Mercedes cars. I wonder what happens in the SUV class?

SUV: Hyundai Santa Fe

The Hyundai Santa Fe crossover matches the platform of the i40 station wagon. The wheelbase and length of the cars are the same. The only thing is that the crossover is 7 centimeters shorter than the station wagon. Maybe this lack of length is compensated by the increased body height? No. While the boot capacity of the Santa Fe is slightly larger than the i40, then with the seats folded out, the SUV only has 1,680 liters of cargo space, less than the i40 station wagon.

Station wagon: Peugeot 308 SW

Sometimes it seems that Peugeot has recently begun to copy the Volkswagen lineup. This can be seen in the example of the body structure of the Peugeot 308 SW station wagon, which is similar to the combi version of the Golf. This is probably why this car has the same boot capacity as the Golf Variant.

Cargo space: 610 liters (1660 liters with the rear row of seats folded down). In comparison, the Golf Variant has a boot of 605 liters (1620 with seats folded out).

Crossover: Peugeot 3008

In the unusual name of the Peugeot 3008 crossover, the model number is encrypted, which clearly indicates the resemblance to the 308 station wagon. The new model will be released in October 2016. Unlike its predecessor, the novelty has become more aggressive. Trunk volume: 520-1482 liters. As you can see, this is not much, and in this example, the station wagon significantly outperforms the crossover.

Station wagon: Renault Clio Grand Tour

Compact cars usually don't cost a lot of money. However, many of them have perfectly acceptable trunks. For example, the Renault Clio Grand Tour boasts a boot volume of 443 liters. You get 1380 liters if you fold out the rear seats. Given the small size of the body, this is not a bad thing. After all, Renault has more cargo space than the Audi A3 Sportback. Let's see how things stand with this indicator in the SUV segment?

Crossover: Renault Capture

Renault offers several SUVs in its lineup. But for comparison with the Renault Clio Grand Tour, the new Capture crossover model is most suitable. Yes, of course the comparison is not quite perfect. But the wheelbase of the two models is almost the same. But the crossover is 14 centimeters shorter. As a result, the size of the body does not allow it to have an advantage over passenger model... Renault Capture has a boot capacity of just 377 liters (1235 liters). So in this example, the station wagon obviously has the advantage.

Station wagon: Ford Focus

We have already indicated above that the Ford Focus station wagon has a small luggage compartment compared to the VW Golf Variant. Nevertheless, the trunk volume is quite decent for its class - 490 liters and 1516 liters if the rear seats are folded out.

Crossover: Ford Kuga

Choosing a crossover for the Ford Focus station wagon for comparison, we did not have any difficulties. It is obvious Ford Kuga... Since 2017, a new version has been launched on the market, which is 2 centimeters shorter than the Focus in the station wagon. As a result, the boot volume in both cars is approximately the same. So, for example, in Kuga the volume is 456 liters (1653 liters). Due to the high roof position of the crossover, the SUV is again victorious in the battle with the station wagon.

So which cars are better in terms of trunk volume: station wagons or crossovers?

So who has more trunk, station wagon or SUV? The answer is simple. It depends on a lot. Of course, there is no definite answer. But if you take our rating, then crossovers are one step ahead. We have presented ten pairs of cars for comparison. Out of the compared cars, station wagons came out as winners only twice. The six crossovers on our list have a boot space advantage over combi cars. The two cars in our ranking have a controversial advantage over each other. But nevertheless, and they clearly hint to us on the choice in the direction of crossovers.

In general, of course, most crossovers do not have incredible advantages over station wagons. Nevertheless, they are sold like hotcakes all over the world. So for those who have trunk volume, this is important, this is a clear reason to buy a crossover or SUV.

10 crossovers with an uncomfortable trunk or “not every liter is equally useful” |

It's not a secret for anyone now that the crossover car segment is confidently gaining global sales momentum, squeezing both previously practical station wagons and passable SUVs. The reason for this is quite simple: this body (with all its options and capabilities) ideally combines most of the functions necessary for an average citizen of an average country:

• a family car with a spacious interior for at least 5 people (though often the fifth rather slender child)
• a medium-sized city car with easy-to-park dimensions (a separate item is the segment of subcompacts, which are hardly called crossovers, as well as large full-size crossovers with 3 rows of seats)
• a car for travel and recreation - active or passive (a combination of the first and second points + increased ground clearance + at least theoretically greater cross-country ability, when compared with a conventional sedan or hatchback)
• not fundamentally overestimated (again comparing with passenger cars) fuel consumption (albeit often at the expense of the same increased cross-country ability)
• a shopping car (you can make a spacious trunk not only with tents and backpacks)
• a safe car (not taking into account crossovers of dubious reputation, higher ground clearance and a high seating position give an advantage in surviving an accident compared to the same cars)

As a result: crossovers are now fashionable, stylish and practical. However, automakers from all over the world are fighting for the buyer's interest and wallet, offering models of a wide variety of shapes, sizes and sometimes strange proportions. Moreover, if the interior of the car can still be more or less comfortable and moderately spacious, it is precisely due to the rear end that a wide variety of consumer choices are obtained: straight roof, downward roof, coupes, sometimes even convertibles ... And what do we usually have in the back? That's right - the trunk. And it is about the trunk, its usefulness, spaciousness and practicality in different crossovers we'll talk: it may suddenly turn out that 500 liters of useful volume in the trunk is not enough ... or inconvenient ... or impractical. But about everything in order.

1. Mercedes-Benz GLE Coupe

651 liters of regular trunk, 1700 - with folded seats - passport data

In the case of the GLE Coupe, the whole problem lies in its coupe body. A sloping roof not only steals a useful amount of space, but also impairs visibility from the rear - through the wide rear crossover pillars, the driver has quite serious zones with zero visibility. It also (the roof) reduces the space above the head of the rear passengers, it also steals a serious chunk of volume in the luggage compartment. As a result, the passport volume becomes a difficult target.

2. BMW X6

753 liters of regular trunk, 1691 - with the seats folded - passport data

Essentially, the BMW X6 is the founder of the coupe-crossover niche, and BMW itself can confidently be given the prize of the championship among automakers, which would turn a practical SUV into a fashion accessory, setting a new strangeness bar. The car has a sloping roofline, which reduces both rear visibility and rear space, not to mention the carrying capacity. That in general slightly contradicts its not the smallest size. But it is quite fast, especially if you can afford to ride on the German autobahns.

3. Lexus NX

200t - 501 liters of regular trunk, 1546 - with the seats folded. NX 300h (hybrid) - 473 and 1521 hp respectively

Of course, Lexus (and Lexus crossovers in particular) are positioned all over the world as premium models, which should, in theory, exclude the possibility of transporting dirty bags of potatoes or especially useful fertilizers. But if you do not take into account the price tag, and approach as much as possible not prejudiced, the situation is as follows: style here again plays the first violin before practicality, and even the Honda Fit hatchback with its 340 liters (1755 with the rear seats down) can “do it”. True, a flat loading area without a "step" rather strongly opposes Lexus with competitors.

4. Fiat 500X

524 liters, 1438 liters.

The handsomeness and charm of the 500 hatchback in the back of the compact Fiat 500X crossover adds a dose of Italian style and elegance. At the same time, the interior space also continues the line of a compact hatchback: in other words, with a formal 524 liters of usable volume, a full-fledged one will hardly be able to fill it: narrow, not very deep, everything is limited from above by a sloping door, a large "step" conceals the utility.

5. Jeep Renegade

524 liters, 1438 liters.

Like its platform sibling, the Jeep Renegade has its own quirky elegance and charm when it comes to design. The same cannot be said about the usefulness and distribution of space. If you bought the Renegade for off-road rides, then you will probably like it: compact, moderately fast and moderately passable, with a clearly not off-road price tag. However, if you plan to use it to transport a ton of things, think again. But the ill-fated "step" is reduced to a minimum.

6. Mitsubishi Outlander Sport (ASX)

501 liters, 1402 liters.

As the Mitsubishi Outlander Sport ASX is known in the US market, it became one of the first small crossovers of the "junior legion". Despite the clearly large "boxiness", the sloping roof also plays against practicality and convenience, hiding the amount of usable space in the luggage compartment - many compact hatchbacks and station wagons offer a similar or better level of practicality when transporting family and equipment.

7. BMW X4

501 liters, 1400 liters.

The younger brother of the BMW X6 - and that says it all. The reduced dimensions became the reason for the reduced trunk, and the beauty and impracticality of the “coupe” body was already mentioned somewhere above. At the same time, in essence, the "four" is more like a raised sedan with an aggressive appearance, but with less practicality and convenience.

8. Audi Q3

473 liters, 1365 liters.

Let's mentally remove the high seating position, large bumpers, plastic trim on the underbody and large wheels from the Audi Q3. And the crossover smoothly turns into an elegant hatchback. More precisely, the Audi A3. And if we compare its "prototype" with other hatchbacks, then the same Volkswagen Golf with a less sloping roof becomes at the forefront in terms of luggage capacity and practicality of the cabin. And the interior of the Audi Q3 again suffers from the sloping roof: the rear row is noticeably less spacious in height, tall people will feel it.

9. Nissan Juke

297 liters, 1017 liters.

The most unusual and most urban crossover presented here: we have already written about its appearance and its strange charisma many times: some appreciate it, others do not. However, what to expect from a subcompact? Precisely not large inside and outside, the figures shown above confirm this. Rather, Juke embodies the concept of relaxation without commitments (and things), the rise of feminine unpredictability against masculine constancy, unexpected transitions and gray reality.

10. Range Rover Evoque Cabrio

251 liters. Dot.

The most useless crossover from a useful point of view (and the freshest of those presented in this ten) is the Range Rover Ewok convertible with an amazingly comfortable and practical trunk of 251 liters. To make it clear, the second digit is not provided here: the rear seats do not know how to open additional volume, here, even if you wish, you will not put any lengthy meter (let's get better, the second row armrest opens access to the trunk, but this is where the whole "transformation" is limited), and loading the characteristics are too rigidly fixed by the missing roof and the size of the luggage opening. Unfortunately, the same can be said about the interior of the crossover: despite the seemingly decent dimensions, the Evok's capacity is only 4 people.

Largest trunk: compact hatchbacks

It seems that compact hatchbacks are the most popular cars in the world. Not particularly large, but quite maneuverable in the city, not always powerful, but most often economical hatchbacks are a good compromise when the family can only afford one car. Naturally, in such cases, you want it to be as large as possible. functional and suitable for various needs: from the need to take the children to kindergarten to a trip somewhere far to the West from Poland, on vacation (we have nothing against Poland).

But let's get back to the main point: how to choose best hatchback?

While searching for objective, easily perceived information for comparison, we decided to stop at the line called "Luggage compartment". Convenience and trunk size are certainly some of the most important criteria when choosing a hatchback - otherwise, a sedan would be a more logical (or, more precisely, a familiar) choice.

Below we have listed the 10 best selling in our market compact hatchbacks... The very first has the most spacious luggage compartment, the last has the least. Check out:

1. Honda Civic (487 liters)
2. Chevrolet Cruze (413 liters)
3. Honda Insight (408 liters)
4. Citroen C4 (408 liters)
5. Volkswagen Golf (380 liters)
6. SEAT Leon (380 liters)
7. KIA Ceed (380 liters)
8. Audi A3 Sportback (380 liters)
9. Renault Megane (372 liters)
10. Opel Astra (351 liter)

Is there your favorite among them?

Even if your favorite is not among the cars listed above, you should not panic. Many manufacturers offer the same station wagon models that take the spaciousness competition to the next level. So, for example, the Renault Megane, which is among the outsiders, can increase the trunk volume to 486 liters.

Another way to fit more prams, fishing gear, wife's suitcases or other utensils is to buy a roof rack. It does not cost prohibitive money, but it significantly increases the volume of luggage.

Good luck with your choice!

TOP-10 CARS WITH A LARGE LUGGAGE

We have selected ten cars available in our market, with a large trunk and a price of up to $ 45,000.

For some, the volume of the trunk in the car is not the first parameter. The main thing is that it is enough to bring a bag of groceries from the supermarket and, maybe, go to a modest picnic once, and that's all. Still, most of our compatriots, when choosing a car, are looking for something more practical and voluminous. Taking into account, for example, that at least 1-2 times a year by car you will need to go somewhere on vacation and take a few suitcases with you. Also, many have summer cottages, trips to which also always require bringing something there, and in the season

Take away your "reward" for your efforts when harvesting. Well, and, of course, family people consider cars with a large luggage compartment. Those who need to transport strollers, bicycles and other family values.

In this TOP, we have identified ten cars available from dealers in our market, with luggage racks of at least 500 liters and a price of up to $ 45 thousand. Among cars with such parameters, station wagons, sedans, crossovers, and minivans are most often found. Here's what we have:

1. VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT VARIANT AND ŠKODA SUPERB COMBI.

There are two cars in the first position at once. The volume of their trunks is 603 liters each. And for the price they are about the same. Volkswagen Passat Variant - from $ 38 thousand Škoda Superb Combi - from $ 38.6 thousand

2. MITSUBISHI PAJERO SPORT

Costs from $ 34 thousand, 592 liters in the trunk.

3. SKODA OCTAVIA COMBI

Slightly inferior to "Pajero", here 588 liters. And the price, of course, is more modest - from $ 23 thousand.

4. HYUNDAI SANTA FE

Like the Octavia Combi, it has 588 hp. Price - from $ 42.3 thousand

5. RENAULT LOGAN MCV

Here 573 liters. And a modest price - from $ 14.5 thousand.

6. PEUGEOT 408

560 liters. Cost from $ 20.5 thousand

7. SKODA RAPID

From $ 15.5 thousand and 550 liters of trunk are yours.

8. FORD MONDEO

It has 550 liters in a 5-seat configuration with a tire repair kit, in the body - a 4-door sedan. Price - from $ 37.6 thousand

9. TOYOTA AVENSIS

The station wagon has 543 hp. Price - from $ 38 thousand

10. RENAULT FLUENCE

Has 530 hp. The price starts at $ 19.3 thousand.

In conclusion, I would like to say that if in the West recently buyers prefer more economical, environmentally friendly, nimble compact transport (and the less the better), then in our markets everything is exactly the opposite. Compatriots prefer larger cars with good ground clearance and a large trunk. Of course, this fashion is dictated by our "excellent" roads and our inherent values \u200b\u200b- summer cottages, trips to villages, fishing, rest "savage", etc.
