Highlights
- Boot space varies meaningfully across mid-size SUVs even within similar price brackets
- Families planning long highway trips should prioritise usable boot volume over headline SUV styling
- Checking rear-seat-folded cargo capacity matters as much as the standard boot figure for occasional big-luggage trips
For families planning long highway road trips, boot space is one of the most practically important — and most overlooked — specifications when comparing mid-size SUVs. Two models with similar overall dimensions and pricing can differ meaningfully in usable cargo volume depending on how the boot is shaped and where the spare wheel and other components are packaged.
It's worth checking both the standard boot capacity and the expanded capacity with rear seats folded down, since occasional big-luggage trips (extended family visits, larger group travel) often rely on that folded-seat configuration rather than the base figure alone.
