When you’re looking for a new SUV, cargo space is probably high on your checklist. You need room for groceries, sports gear, and luggage for those road trips.
Luckily, Volkswagen’s SUV lineup offers plenty of options! From compact SUVs like the VW Taos to larger models like the Tiguan and Atlas, there’s something for everyone.
Read on as the team at Hoover VW Lithia Springs breaks down how much cargo space Volkswagen SUVs really have in this side-by-side comparison.
VW SUV Cargo Dimensions Compared
Whether you need space for traveling or everyday life, here’s how the Atlas, Atlas Cross Sport, Tiguan, and Taos stack up in terms of cargo capacity.
VW Atlas
The Volkswagen Atlas is the most spacious SUV in the lineup, making it a great fit for families or anyone who frequently needs extra room. Even with all three rows upright, you’ll have 20.6 cubic feet of cargo space behind the third row, which is enough for groceries or smaller luggage. When you fold down the third row, the cargo space expands to 55.5 cubic feet behind the second row. With both rear rows folded flat, you’ll have an impressive 96.6 cubic feet of maximum cargo space, making it ideal for everything from road trips to golf clubs.
VW Atlas Cross Sport
The Atlas Cross Sport is a two-row SUV that offers 40.3 cubic feet of cargo space with the rear seats up, more than other SUVs in its class. When you need even more space, fold down the second row for 77.8 cubic feet of total cargo capacity. If you need flexibility without stepping up to a full three-row SUV, the Atlas Cross Sport is a great option.
VW Tiguan
The Volkswagen Tiguan offers practical cargo room in a compact SUV. Behind the second row, you’ll have 33.8 cubic feet of cargo space, which is perfect for daily errands or weekend plans. Fold the rear seats down, and get up to 69.8 cubic feet of cargo space, providing versatility without moving into a larger SUV.
VW Taos
Despite being the smallest SUV in the Volkswagen lineup, the Taos delivers an impressive amount of cargo space. You’ll get 27.9 cubic feet of cargo room behind the second row, which is more than you might expect from a compact SUV. With the rear seats folded, total cargo space expands to 65.9 cubic feet, giving the Taos an edge if you want a smaller footprint without sacrificing storage.
