The Biggest Wagons: 40+ Cubic Feet of Cargo

Wagons that swallow more than 40 cubic feet behind the seats — before you fold anything down. Cargo figures are EPA luggage volume and are flagged ~ approximate; they use a different measuring standard than the manufacturer’s brochure. Full list in the Wagon Wiki.

Reading the table: Specs are for the representative volume trim of each generation unless noted. HP/Ton is computed (hp ÷ curb weight in US tons). Values marked ~ are approximate and pending verification against primary sources. Imports (never sold new in the US) are badged.
