I’m moving in with my girlfriend, but I’m worried my BMW X4 won’t be able to fit all of my stuff for the move. Is there an easy way to know how much cargo capacity my car has?
is categorized as a luxury compact crossover when it comes to class.
Combining your vehicle’s cargo capacity and passenger capacity determines it’s *class. Class is really just another way of referring to your vehicle’s size without using exact measurements. There are many different scales when it comes to determining your car’s class, but you can use the EPA’s vehicle size classes as a general rule.
According to the U.S. Fuel Economy Guide for SUVs:
A mini crossover SUV has less than 116 cubic feet of combined passenger and cargo volume
A compact crossover SUV has between 116 and 125 cubic feet of combined passenger and cargo volume
A midsize SUV has between 125 and 140 cubic feet of combined passenger and cargo volume
A full size SUV has between 140 and 170 cubic feet of combined passenger and cargo volume
A minivan SUV has more than 170 cubic feet of combined passenger and cargo volume
Small vehicles tend to get into accidents more frequently, so knowing your car’s class can help you estimate exactly how much you’re going to end up paying for
