Toyota Venza, Prius V Offer Most Space for Stuff

2012 Toyota Venza - class-leading cargo capacity

‘Tis the season for jingle bells, snowmen, and stuffing your car with a load of loot that makes Santa ashamed of the hauling capacity of his sleigh. Edmunds.com recently studied the versatile segment of wagons and hatchbacks to determine which offered the most cargo room to deliver the goods to all the nice boys and girls on your list.

Hatchbacks and wagons were chosen because they can accommodate packages of widely varying shapes and sizes. The also offer easy loading and unloading through wide openings and lower floors than most trucks and SUVs, as well as being easier to park and maneuver in crowded mall parking lots.

The 2012 Toyota Prius V tied for first place, with 34.3 cubic feet of cargo space. In addition to its hauling abilities, Edmunds.com reviews also praised the 2012 Prius V for its excellent fuel efficiency of 44/40 city/highway mpg.

Number five on the list is the 2012 Toyota Venza, offering cargo space that measures 30.7 cubic feet. According to Emdumds.com, the 2012 Venza “avoids the apparent arrogance of an SUV, the stigma of a minivan and the ambivalence of a crossover; it simply works.” The Venza is equipped with many design features that maximize its interior space and offers many other trim-specific options. The 2012 Venza is available with a four-cylinder or V6 engine and offers front-wheel or all-wheel drive options.
