Below, we feature 10 mainstream and 10 luxury compact SUVs with the most usable cargo room based on our testing. They’re ranked in order of cargo room in cubic feet, with the top performer first. Note that not every vehicle is recommended. This may be because of below-average reliability or a too-low Overall Score.
Each model comes standard with automatic emergency braking (AEB), AEB that works at highway speeds, blind spot warning (BSW), and rear cross traffic warning (RCTW) unless noted otherwise.
Some of these models have our Green Choice designation, which highlights the vehicles with the cleanest emissions.
