Which Hyundai Has the Most Trunk Space?

With their exceptional style and performance, Hyundai vehicles are a great choice if you’re looking for a new ride. However, cargo capacity can be a deal breaker. In this article, our team at Checkered Flag Hyundai World in Virginia Beach explores the Hyundai models with the most trunk space to help you decide which model suits your needs best.

Hyundai SUVs

Unsurprisingly, Hyundai’s SUV lineup offers the highest storage capacity. The three-row PALISADE tops the list, with the SANTA FE and TUCSON close behind.

Hyundai PALISADE

The Hyundai PALISADE comes in seven attractive trims, each offering a spacious cabin with seating for eight. Behind the third row, you’ll find 18 cubic feet of cargo space, perfect for routine grocery runs, soccer equipment, or day trips to the beach.

Folding the third row increases storage to 45.8 cubic feet, which is ideal for shopping trips and weekend camping adventures alike. With the second and third rows folded, you get 86.4 cubic feet for moving larger items such as furniture or DIY materials.

Hyundai SANTA FE

The redesigned SANTA FE comes in five unique trim levels. The XRT model offers off-road styling and capability for all your outdoor adventures. If you prefer a more sophisticated cabin, the top-tier Calligraphy model has all the luxury amenities you want.

This three-row SUV offers 14.6 cubic feet of cargo space behind the third row. Storage capacity increases to 40.5 cubic feet with the third row folded flat and 79.6 cubic feet with both rear rows folded.

Hyundai TUCSON

The Hyundai TUCSON also comes in five trim levels with various features. This two-row SUV is ready for all of life’s adventures and has space to carry all your weekend getaway gear, golf clubs, or fishing rods. Behind the second row, you get 41.2 cubic feet of cargo space, but if you fold the second row flat, storage capacity expands to 80.3 cubic feet.

Hyundai Sedans

Hyundai’s SONATA and ELANTRA sedans offer more trunk space than other vehicles in their segments.

Hyundai SONATA

This midsize sedan comes in six trims, each with a modern, sporty style. While these sedans don’t have the configurable cargo space of an SUV, they make up for it with confident driving dynamics and efficient performance. The Hyundai SONATA provides 15.6 cubic feet of cargo space. That’s plenty of room to stow your luggage on your next spur-of-the-moment road trip.

Hyundai ELANTRA

Hyundai’s popular midsize ELANTRA offers a sleek, modern style in all five trims. In addition to its spacious, comfortable interior that seats five people, its trunk measures 14.2 cubic feet, which is plenty of room for two sets of golf clubs.

Hyundai Electric Vehicles

Without a regular gas engine and transmission, electric vehicles (EVs) generally have more overall space. This allows for more passenger room in the cabin and more volume in the trunk, and many EVs have unique storage solutions.

IONIQ 5

The 2025 IONIQ 5 has revolutionized the SUV EV segment, offering an impressive powertrain that travels up to 318 miles on a single charge. The cabin has the cutting-edge tech you crave and enough space to seat five people comfortably.

Behind the rear seat, there are 26.3 cubic feet of storage space. With the rear seats folded flat, capacity increase to 58.5 cubic feet. So, whether you’re hauling people or gear, there’s plenty of room.

KONA Electric

Hyundai’s popular compact SUV now has an all-electric powertrain. You’ll love the 131 MPGe rating and 261-mile driving range, which will make you smile every time you pass a gas station. The KONA Electric makes the most of its compact size with 25.5 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seat and 63.7 cubic feet with the rear seat folded.

Detailed Comparison

Here’s a quick summary of the cargo/truck space of the top Hyundai models by segment.

Hyundai SUVs

Hyundai SUVs’ versatile cargo configurations make them excellent vehicles for daily grocery runs, big-box shopping, weekend getaways, and more.

Hyundai Sedans

Hyundai sedans offer more spirited driving dynamics than larger SUVs. However, their cargo capacity still makes them viable options for routine errands, road trips, golf outings, and airport runs.

Hyundai EVs

Hyundai EVs deliver impressive power and performance while maximizing available space. They have the cargo capacity for weekend trips to the cabin, routine big-box shopping, and longer road trips.

Why Trunk Space Matters

Your lifestyle requires a vehicle that makes life easy. If you have a family, you’ll like the SUV’s versatile and expansive cargo space for strollers and luggage. You can also use this space to haul camping and hiking gear on your next outdoor adventure, or if you’re a professional, you can use the configurable space to haul tools, materials, and equipment. No matter your lifestyle, Hyundai sedans offer attractive options that will fit your style, performance, and storage needs.
