Large exteriors can be deceiving

MORE: Vans vs. SUVs: Which One Should I Choose?Back in the day it was safe to assume that the larger the vehicle, the more cargo space it offered. But thanks to improved interior design, compact models like the 2022 Hyundai Tucson are disrupting the status quo.As further proof, consider the 2021 VW Atlas. It is a midsize SUV, but has more cargo space than most large SUVs, even the monster-sized Honda Pilot! You wouldn’t know it by looking at the two vehicles side by side.Additionally, some large models are designed primarily for passenger comfort, and give very little consideration to cargo space. The infamous Mercedes-Benz Metris minivan for example, only had 38 cubic feet of cargo space, less than a Honda CR-V.These days, if having a lot of cargo space is important to you, make sure you read reviews, rather than just relying on exterior size as an indicator.
