Cargo Capacity: which has more space?
Standard and largest cargo capacity
Comparing 510 L (SAE) to 473 L (VDA) is difficult due to the differing measurement methods, but the 2023 Hyundai Palisade’s seats up capacity is above average for its size class. The 2023 Hyundai Palisade offers 2,447 L (SAE) with the seats stowed, a figure that is way above average for crossover, while the 2025 Toyota Corolla Cross follows the VDA standard (1,404 L), which is way above average for crossover.

Parking
Will the 2025 Toyota Corolla Cross or 2023 Hyundai Palisade fit in a standard parking space?
2025 Toyota Corolla Cross 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 46 cm per side, and length clearance is 52 cm at each end.
