Cargo Capacity: which has more space?

Standard and largest cargo capacity

These two cars follow different measurement methods: SAE for the 2024 Ford F‑150 SuperCrew 6.5ft bed 4x2 and VDA for the 2024 Volkswagen Golf, so instead of a direct cargo space comparison, segment averages are the best way to gauge their relative utility. The 2024 Ford F‑150 SuperCrew 6.5ft bed 4x2’s 1,764 L capacity with seats up is way above average for its class, and the 2024 Volkswagen Golf’s 381 L capacity is average for its class. The 2024 Ford F‑150 SuperCrew 6.5ft bed 4x2 provides a typical 1,764 L for the pickup segment for cargo space with the seats down.
