Cargo Capacity: which has more space?

Standard and largest cargo capacity

Because 2025 Honda HR‑V (VDA) and 2018 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited (SAE) use different measurement logic for their seats up cargo space, the numbers are difficult to compare. For context, the 2025 Honda HR‑V offers 319L, which is below average for crossovers. We can't declare a definitive winner on cargo space alone due to the differing VDA and SAE standards for these two vehicles, but the 2025 Honda HR‑V has way above average space for its size class.
