What class of car is a BMW X5?
I’m planning a months-long road trip, but I’m worried I won’t be able to fit everything I need into my BMW X5. Is there an easy way to know how much cargo capacity my car has?

Your vehicle’s cargo capacity and passenger capacity determine it’s class, which is really just a fancy way of referring to your car’s overall interior size. While there are many different scales you can use to determine your vehicle’s class, the EPA’s guidelines are accepted as a standard.
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 volumeKnowing your vehicle’s class can help you know whether or not it’s necessary to invest in atowing hitchas well as helping you estimate how much you’re going to end up spending oncar insurance.
