Cargo Capacity: which has more space?
Standard and largest cargo capacity
Comparing 943 L (SAE) to 319 L (VDA) is difficult due to the differing measurement methods, but the 2025 Ford Maverick’s seats up capacity is way above average for its size class. The 2025 Ford Maverick (943 L) and 2025 Honda HR‑V (1,289 L) use non-compatible measurement standards to compare against each other, but we can look at them in relation to cargo space vs their categories. The 2025 Ford Maverick has typical room for its class, and the 2025 Honda HR‑V has way above average room for its class.

Parking
Will the 2025 Honda HR‑V or 2025 Ford Maverick fit in a standard parking space?
2025 Honda HR‑V 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 48 cm per side, and length clearance is 57 cm at each end.
