Cargo Capacity: which has more space?
Standard and largest cargo capacity
These two cars follow different measurement methods: SAE for the 2024 Chevrolet Silverado EV and VDA for the 2022 Volkswagen Virtus, so instead of a direct cargo space comparison, segment averages are the best way to gauge their relative utility. The 2024 Chevrolet Silverado EV’s 1,634 L capacity with seats up is way above average for its class, and the 2022 Volkswagen Virtus’s 521 L capacity is above average for its class. Because these two models use different measurement standards (VDA vs SAE) for total cargo volume, they can't be directly compared. But for context, the 2024 Chevrolet Silverado EV maximum capacity is typical for its class.
