5. Spacious

Even tall people can fill every seat without a problem, and the cargo space allows you to transport a whole host of big and small items. The 2015 Subaru XV Crosstrek Hybrid has 21.5 cu-ft of storage space in the trunk with the rear seats up, but when they’re folded, that expands to an incredible 50.2 cu-ft. This is only slightly less than the non-hybrid version (the battery pack beneath the cargo floor reduces the space a little), but the flat load floor makes up for it by making storage even easier.
