While many people turn to SUVs when they need a vehicle with space, whether it’s for people or cargo, they can still get it with many electric sedans and hatchbacks such as the electric Mercedes. Take a look at some the best options for electric cars with large cargo areas.
The Electric Mercedes-Benz EQS
The Mercedes EQS is the electric version of the Mercedes flagship sedan. It offers a truly opulent experience as soon as you take a seat. The EQS is available with either one or two motors and either rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. When it comes to space, it feels almost cavernous inside this sedan. The flat floor and wheelbase the stretches for over 126 inches helps provide the 22 cubic feet of storage space in the cargo area behind the rear seats and up to 74 cubic feet with the rear seats folded down.
The BMW i7
The BMW i7 is spacious, luxurious and powerful. Like the electric Mercedes, it’s available with rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, depending on whether you have one or two electric motors. This large sedan has a generous amount of head and legroom for both the front and rear seat passengers, and if you add the Executive Lounge package, your rear seat passengers get reclining seats. Open up the trunk of the i7 to reveal 11.4 cubic feet of cargo space, which you can expand by folding down the rear seats.
2025 Audi A6 e-tron
Audi continues to add to its lineup of electric vehicles with the A6 e-tron. It comes in two forms, one with a rear-mounted motor and the other is the Quattro with a second motor for the front wheels. While the electric version of the A6 is smaller than the Mercedes and BMW, it offers impressive cargo space, partly due to the liftback design. You’ll have 26 cubic feet of storage in the trunk, which opens up to an impressive 40 cubic feet if you fold the rear seats down.
The Nissan Leaf
The Nissan Leaf has been around longer than most of the other electric sedans on this list, and it’s gotten better over the years. Not only is it affordable, but it also has a spacious cabin and a practical hatchback design that helps give the cargo area extra space. You can go ahead and load up the back with up to 23.6 cubic feet of gear if you need to keep the rear seats in place, but if you don’t have passengers back there, fold the seat down, and you’ll have 30 cubic feet of space to work with.
All Nissan Leafs are front-wheel drive. They have one electric motor and a battery pack that work to generate 214 horsepower, which is plenty for this small car.
If you’re considering an EV such as an electric Mercedes, BMW, or Audi, you have plenty of options that will give you plenty of roomy cabin seating and cargo space.
