If utility tops your list of priorities, you'll be well served by a hatchback or a wagon. Many of these vehicles offer enough room in back to easily swallow the result of that Home Depot shopping spree. What's more, loading stuff into these vehicles is a breeze, since they feature cargo areas with mouths that are wider than that of your typical trunk.
The 10 hatchbacks and wagons listed below lead the pack when it comes to cargo capacity. Our rankings are based on cargo capacity with all seats in place. Note, however, that our No. 1 finisher, the Chevrolet HHR Panel Wagon, has only one row of seating, since this variant of the HHR is intended for business owners. All measurements shown are in cubic feet.
