Roomiest, Most Comfortable EVs

The electric cars of today arent the small models stuffed with a giant battery array that takes up a lot of cargo and passenger room. Rather, they come in more shapes and sizes, and almost all are designed purely as EVs, instead of being based on the same platform as a gas-powered vehicle. So you can go electric without any compromise when it comes to fitting passengers and cargo.

Because CR buys and tests its own vehicles, including the EVs on our list below, we know exactly how much cargo can fit in the back, exactly how roomy the drivers seat feels, and exactly how easy it is to get into and out of the front and rear seats.

To come up with our list of the roomiest, most comfortable EVs, our experts measured interior space, checked how many suitcases and duffel bags could fit in the back, calculated cargo room, and had testers of all shapes and sizes repeatedly get into and out of the front and rear seats. We do this as part of our weekslong, in-depth evaluation of all the vehicles we buyincluding the top-selling EVs on the market.

EV With Most Cargo Space: Top 10 List

Electric vehicles are no longer novelties. They are fully mainstream, growing in popularity every day.

As more consumers seek out all-electric transportation, queries like EV with most Cargo Space are common place on Google. New EV shoppers arent willing to put up with compromises just because a vehicle is powered by a battery pack. They still want usefulness and utility.

Luckily, modern EVs are much more advanced than those of just 5-10 years ago. Electric vehicles get more range and recharge faster than ever before, offering all of the comfort, convenience, and space of their gasoline powered counterparts. For those who dont travel lightly, and need a vehicle that can bring along a months worth of stuff for a weekend getaway, there are now plenty of EV choices.

We have gathered a list of the top 10 all-electric vehicles that offer the most cargo carrying capacity. For vehicles with a standard third row, we have included cargo figures with that third row folded flat.

10. Volkswagen ID.4 30.3 cu ft.

Starting our list is a compact EV SUV with a large cargo area. The Volkswagen ID.4 has a more conventional, squared-off hatchback style that allows it to carry over 30 cubic feet of cargo. This makes it a great choice for a small weekend getaway. But just because it has increased utility doesnt mean its any less stylish than its main competitors.

9. Chevrolet Blazer EV - 30.5 cu ft.

Chevrolet's mid-size electric SUV has a decent amount of cargo space, measuring 30.5 cubic feet. Like the Volkswagen ID.4, it does not have a front trunk to further increase overall cargo capacity. With its long wheelbase, the Blazer EV isn't just good at carrying cargo, but also rear seat passengers should enjoy a generous amount of space.

8. Tesla Model Y 34.3 cu ft.

Like some of the vehicles on this list, the Tesla Model Y benefits from having a front storage compartment under its hood that helps bolster the overall cargo carrying capacity. When equipped without the third row of seating, the relatively small Model Y is capable of hauling nearly 34.3 cu ft. of cargo. That's impressive packaging for one of the EV SUV originators.

7. Lexus RZ - 34.9 cu ft.

A new comer on the market, Lexus' first all electric vehicle is a sibling to the brand's highly successful RX mid-size SUV. Although the RZ lacks a front trunk, it can still haul a decent amount behind the rear seats - 34.9 cubic feet to be exact. This should be plenty for a family of four to take a weekend getaway out of the city.

6. BMW iX 35.5 cu ft.

BMWs brand new iX all-electric SUV features polarizing styling. Whether you find it futuristic, awkward, or a bit of both, the iXs shape leads to impressive cargo carrying capabilities. The five-seat EV SUV can haul 35.5 cu ft. of gear behind the rear seats.

5. Tesla Model X 43.6 cu ft.

The Tesla Model X has two factors that contribute in its cargo carrying supremacy. First, like the Model Y, there is a large front trunk that helps bolster cargo capacity. Secondly, the Model X can be ordered without the third row of seats, which great increases cargo space behind the middle row. Opt for the Plaid version and not only will you have a cavernous EV SUVs, but also the most powerful.

4. Kia EV9 RWD - 45.7 cu ft.

The new Kia EV9 is arguably the first mainstream three-row electric SUV. It offers 43.5 cu ft. of cargo capacity with the furthest back row folded down. Add in the small 3.2 cubic foot front trunk found on rear-wheel drive models, and total capacity is enough to eclipse the Tesla Model X.

3. Volkswagen ID.Buzz 47.3 cu ft.

Technically not on the market yet, the North American version of the Volkswagen ID.Buzz is larger than the European model, which means more cargo space. In total, the all-electric minivan should have a 47.3 cubic foot cargo hold when opting for the five seat version.

2. Rivian R1S 57.8 cu ft.

The Rivian R1S used to be the all-electric cargo carrying capacity, but it now has to settle for second. It still has impressive cargo carrying capabilities though, especially up front with its generous 11.1 cubic foot frunk. When the third row of seats are folded down, an additional 46.7 cubic feet are available.

1. Cadillac Escalade iQ - 81.3 cu ft.

There's a new all-electric cargo champion and it's not even close. The Cadillac Escalade has always been a sizeable vehicle, so when creating an EV sibling, it shouldn't really come as much of a surprise that the Escalade iQ would excel at hauling gear. Up front there is a massive 12.2 cubic foot frunk, while a whopping 69.1 cubic feet of cargo space is offered when the third row of seats are folded down.
