Cargo Capacity: which has more space?
Standard and largest cargo capacity
The 2022 Chevrolet Equinox has 846 L (SAE) of cargo space with the seats up, a figure that is way above average for its segment, while the 2024 Ford Kuga has 412 L under the VDA system. Comparing maximum cargo space is a challenge here as 2022 Chevrolet Equinox is measured at 1,809 L (SAE) while 2024 Ford Kuga uses the VDA standard. That said, the 2022 Chevrolet Equinox is way above average for the crossover segment.
