Cars with the biggest boots 2026

Have you got a lot of stuff you need to transport? Are you looking specifically for a car with the most boot space possible? Take a look at these.
We’ve rounded up the cars with the biggest boot spaces in each class, so if you’re overloaded with things that need moving, these are the cars to check out.

The Land Rover Defender 130 is the largest model in the Defender family, equipped with up to eight seats making it ideal when you’re on football club pick-up duty. An optional ‘Captain Chair’ layout gives you two seats in the middle row instead of a bench, allowing you to walk through to the three seats behind avoiding any awkward seat flipping to climb into the rear seats. Although the Defender has a huge boot, space becomes limited when all seats are in use, so it may not be the most practical choice for larger families.

The Peugeot 5008 gives you seven-seat flexibility for less than rivals such as the Land Rover Discovery Sportand Mercedes-Benz GLB. The Peugeot 3008 is one of our favourite SUVs and the 5008 offers much of the same appeal but it has multi-configurable rear seating, increasing practicality. Two extra seats are tucked beneath the boot floor and can be raised with a simple pull of a fabric loop. As with most seven-seaters, boot space is considerably more limited when all seven seats are in use. There is also the option to add a hands-free powered tailgate, making it much easier to load the boot when your hands are full of shopping.

The Hyundai Ioniq 9 is a bold, stylish electric SUV which offers great value compared to alternative premium players such as the Volvo EX90 and the Mercedes EQS. It is one of the few SUVs with a half-decent boot even when its two additional seats are in use. This gives it enough luggage space for family-bus duties without having to fold the third row away.

The Skoda Superb Estate blends comfort and practicality in a huge cabin. The Superb Estate has an even bigger boot than the previous model and becomes positively van-like when the middle row is folded flat. The Volkswagen Passat offers the same space, although the plug-in hybrid versions of both cars lose some boot space due to their batteries.

The ID.7 is a sleek, practical family car which majors on space and refinement. It comes in either a saloon or estate, both of which are nearly five metres long, but the Tourer’s estate shape helps maximise the interior space. The boot is large with the rear seats in place, while useful hooks and optional netting help stop your belongings from rolling around. The low loading lip also makes it easier for your dog climb aboard or to lift in heavy luggage as we found out when we lived with one on long-term test.

The Mercedes-Benz E-Class Estate combines luxury with the space needed for family use. Its spacious interior and practical estate body make it a strong choice if you regularly need to carry passengers and luggage.

The Vauxhall Combo Life Electric offers families’ masses of space and a huge boot without a premium price tag. The regular combo life has a huge boot and this increases if you drop the back seats. In the five-seat version the rear bench is split 60/40 and folds flush with the boot floor, and the parcel shelf can be folded or fitted at different heights to create a handy extra shelf. Better still, the electric version keeps its battery beneath the loading bay, so you don’t lose any storage space.

The Volkswagen Mulitvan is both cool and practical like the ID.Buzz but with a wider variety of powertrains. It has a decent boot with every seat in place, although the space is tall rather than long. A longer version provides more room behind the third row, while the four full-size outer rear seats can slide, fold or be removed. The seats can also be arranged in a line, leaving space along one side for long items such as surfboards or bikes. Whilst the Multivan has endless seat configurations, it won’t suit families that need to fit three Isofix child seats.

Kia’s first electric passenger van is both practical and striking thanks to its futuristic design and seven-year warranty. In terms of boot space, the Kia PV5 Passenger offers plenty of room, along with useful three-pin sockets for powering devices on the go. You’ll also find lots of handy storage throughout the cabin, including a pop-up dashboard compartment, a decent-sized glovebox, roomy door bins and back-seat pockets.

If you’re looking for a hatchback with space, tech and usable range the MG4 Urban is well worth considering. It offers a large boot and generous rear space. Theres also a substantial additional storage compartment beneath the boot floor provides extra room for everything from charging cables to muddy boots.

While SUVs may dominate the market, the Skoda Octavia hatchback is a practical alternative if you cover lots of miles and need plenty of room for passengers and luggage. Its generous luggage space is a huge tick, with a massive boot that can carry bags, shopping and pushchairs with ease. However, the large hatch is heavy to close, so a powered tailgate may be worth considering. The iV-branded hybrid versions lose a significant amount of boot space to their batteries, making the regular petrol or diesel models the better choice if luggage capacity is a priority.

The Honda Civic provides comfort, space and a satisfying driving experience. It has a roomy boot with slightly more space than a Toyota Corolla, although its shape can be a little awkward when loading large items. There is also plenty of rear legroom, and the saloon-like roofline does not reduce headroom too much so it should please all passengers onboard.
