Does the Toyota RAV4 or Ford Escape have more cargo space?
If you drive a sedan and have been looking to upgrade to an SUV, chances are that you're looking for more space. While just about any SUV will provide more space than your everyday sedan model, there are some that offer a bit more than others. The Toyota RAV4 and the Ford Escape are two of the most popular compact SUV models on the market today – so, you might be wondering which one offers more interior space. Here, we'll break down the interior dimensions, including what you can expect from the cargo space offered in each of these 2017 models.Interior volume
As we stated earlier, you're probably looking to gain room in your new SUV. That said, the 2017 Toyota RAV4 offers more overall interior volume than the 2017 Ford Escape. Inside the Toyota RAV4, passengers will experience a width of 72.6 inches, a height of 67.1 inches, and a length of 183.5 inches for an overall interior volume of 140.3 cubic feet. In the Escape, the overall volume drops to 132.7 cubic feet, which is a substantial drop down from the RAV4. Some of the extra space in the Toyota model is from the passenger area, but a lot of it comes from the cargo space.
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.
