2016 Mercedes-Benz SUV Cargo Capacities

By just looking at them, it is difficult to determine the exact 2016 Mercedes-Benz SUV cargo capacities. Sometimes smaller SUVs can surprise you with a lot of interior space, and sometimes the opposite is true. Whether you are looking for a lot of cargo room or more performance and efficiency, Mercedes-Benz of Scottsdale has an SUV for you.

2017 Mercedes-Benz GLS

Mercedes-Benz just released the GLS to replace the GL-Class. In terms of cargo capacity, the GLS is identical to the GL-Class.

Model Rear Seats Up Rear Seats Folded
GLA 14.9 ft³ 53.2 ft³
GLC 20.5 ft³ 56.5 ft³
GLE 38.2 ft³ 80.3 ft³
GL-Class 16 ft³ 93.8 ft³
G-Class 40.3 ft³ 75.1 ft³

Largest Trunk

With the rear seats folded up, the 2016 Mercedes-Benz GLE SUV has the largest trunk capacity in the Mercedes-Benz SUV lineup. It actually has the GL-Class doubled, but you have to keep in mind that the GL-Class seats two more people than the GLE.

Most Maximum Cargo Capacity

Across the Mercedes-Benz SUV lineup, the GL-Class, now the GLS, has the most cargo capacity with folded rear seats. With the seats up, however, the GL-Class goes from first to last with the lowest trunk capacity across the entire lineup.

The Magic Man GLE

It can travel the furthest on a full tank of gas, it can pull 96% of the GL-Class towing capacity, and it has the quickest 0-60. In conclusion, unless you are going to be hauling around six passengers every day, the GLE is an obvious choice.
