Compact cars with great storage space

The small car segment draws customers by offering impressive fuel economy ratings paired with nimble handling and an easy-to-drive nature. However, many times this smaller stature comes with a smaller trunk as well. But this is not always the case. Check out this list of compact cars with great storage space to get the most out of your small car.

Compact Hatchback Cars

One of the best ways to gain an extra amount of storage space in a compact car is to find one that utilizes a hatchback body style. The hatchback design allows many of these cars to offer storage numbers that rival, and sometimes exceed, many larger cars and crossovers. Some of these options include:

Vehicle	Storage Space w/ Seats in Place	Storage Space w/ Seats Folded Down
Ford Focus Hatchback	23.8 cubic feet	44.8 cubic feet

Volkswagen Golf	22.8 cubic feet	52.7 cubic feet
Mazda3 Hatchback	20.2 cubic feet	47.1 cubic feet

Compact Crossovers

With the increased popularity of the crossover, manufacturers have been rushing to offer versions of these vehicles in a variety of sizes. Many small crossover models are able to deliver impressive fuel economy and storage ratings. Models offered in this class include:

Vehicle	Storage Space w/ Seats in Place	Storage Space w/ Seats Folded Down
