Cargo Capacity: which has more space?
Standard and largest cargo capacity
A direct comparison between the 2024 Ford Kuga’s 412 L (VDA) and the 2022 Ford Maverick’s 943 L (SAE) cargo capacity isn't possible due to different measurement methods, but the 2024 Ford Kuga is average for its class. The 2022 Ford Maverick is way above average for its class. Comparing maximum cargo space is a challenge here as 2024 Ford Kuga is measured at 1,534 L (VDA) while 2022 Ford Maverick uses the SAE standard. That said, the 2024 Ford Kuga is way above average for the crossover segment.

Parking
Will the 2022 Ford Maverick or 2024 Ford Kuga fit in a standard parking space?
2022 Ford Maverick parking fit score
DriveSize compares the car's width and length with typical parking-space sizes by region.
Vehicle dimensions are rounded up and available side or length clearance is rounded down.
Side clearance is based on body width where available; real spaces can vary because of mirrors, walls, pillars, kerbs, bay markings, and nearby cars.
For an average USA / Canada space: body side clearance is 45 cm per side, and length clearance is 21 cm at each end.
