What class of car is a BMW X3?
I’m moving into a new apartment—does my BMW X3 have enough room inside for my boxes and bags? Is there an easier way to know how much cargo capacity my car has?

Your vehicle’s class is the combination of its cargo capacity and passenger capacity. There are a number of ways in which a car’s class can be determined, but the EPA’s guidelines are widely accepted.
According to the U.S. Fuel Economy Guide for SUVs:
- A mini crossover SUV has less than 116 cubic feet of combined passenger and cargo volume
- A compact crossover SUV has between 116 and 125 cubic feet of combined passenger and cargo volume
- A midsize SUV has between 125 and 140 cubic feet of combined passenger and cargo volume
- A full-size SUV has between 140 and 170 cubic feet of combined passenger and cargo volume
- A minivan SUV has more than 170 cubic feet of combined passenger and cargo volume
Your vehicle’s class is an important factor to be aware of because your car’s size can play into how much you’ll end up paying for
