7 seater boot space comparison Page 55

Comparing boot space in 7-seaters is like comparing a clown car to a moving van – it depends on whether you’re carrying people or luggage. For instance, the Toyota Kluger offers around 381 litres with all seven seats up, whereas the Kia Carnival boasts a more generous 627 litres. The Ford Everest, a rugged choice, has about 218 litres behind the third row, trading space for off-road chops. Remember, folding the third row flat dramatically increases cargo room, but at the cost of those extra passengers.
