Cargo area

If you’re going on a trip in your new compact SUV, you’re probably looking to bring a bit of luggage (or a lot of luggage). If you’re someone who typically overpacks, then the Toyota RAV4 will be the vehicle that fits your life and style. In the posterior of the vehicle, you’ll be able to fit 38.4 cubic feet of cargo when the seats are upright, and 73.4 cubic feet when they’re folded down. In the Ford Escape, those numbers drop to 34.3 cubic feet with the seats up, and 67.8 cubic feet with the seats folded down.
