The Trunk Volume Can Be Decisive When Choosing a Medium SUV. The New Renault Boreal Leads in Capacity, While Corolla Cross Balances Versatility and Compass Bets on Practical Solutions for Everyday Life
The space in the trunk is one of the most important criteria for those looking for a medium SUV, as it determines comfort on trips and practicality in daily life.
In this scenario, three models stand out in 2025: the Toyota Corolla Cross, the newly launched Renault Boreal, and the traditional Jeep Compass, each with distinctly different characteristics.
Corolla Cross — 440 Liters
The Corolla Cross stands out for offering 440 liters of capacity, a sufficient number to accommodate the luggage of a family on long-distance trips.

The new generation of the Jeep Renegade targets SUV consumers below US$30,000 (R$150,000), a price range for intermediate versions of the T-Cross and Nivus in Brazil. The model was discontinued in the US in 2023, according to MoparInsiders.
Access is easy, with a wide opening and low floor, which facilitates the loading of heavy objects.
Additionally, the interior finish and the possibility of folding the rear seats further enhance the model’s versatility.
Renault Boreal — 586 Liters
The Renault Boreal, the new bet from the French brand in the segment, arrives with a modern proposal and a focus on interior space. Its trunk has 586 liters, the largest among the three competitors.
This difference is significant because it allows more luggage to be transported without compromising the comfort of the occupants, making the Boreal an attractive option for large families or those in need of extra space in everyday life.
Jeep Compass — 410 Liters
Meanwhile, the Jeep Compass, one of the best-selling SUVs in the country, delivers 410 liters, falling behind its rivals in this regard.
Although smaller, the compartment makes good use of space, with a regular shape and quality finish. Still, those who prioritize volume may feel the lack of a few more liters.
Therefore, while the Boreal bets on size, the Corolla Cross balances capacity and practicality, and the Compass compensates for the smaller volume with smart solutions.
The ideal choice will depend on the driver’s profile and the importance that the trunk has in everyday use.
