What SUV Can Fit Golf Clubs?

If you’re an avid golfer, it is essential that you can drive around your gear. One of the best options is to have an SUV (sport utility vehicle) because they are designed for passengers and sporting activities.

Since an average golfing bag is about three cubic feet, any SUV can fit golf clubs in it. However, some SUVs may need the back seats to be laid down to comfortably fit the golf clubs. That being said, not every SUV can fit multiple sets of golf clubs.

Since most golf club bags are around 3 cubic feet, the question is not if one player’s golf clubs will fit in an SUV, it’s whether you can fit other passengers, cargo, and/or other golf clubs in the SUV as well.

What SUV Has the Right Cargo Volume for Your Clubs?

After searching through avid golfer’s favorite SUVs for carrying their gear, we compiled a list of 25 popular SUV/SUV Crossovers for golfers. The list is in order of the vehicles with the highest cargo volume (with the seats down) to those with the lowest volume.

*The measurements were taken from the newest edition of each model.

What Is an SUV?

As stated before, SUVs (sport utility vehicles) are cars designed to perform well outdoors, meaning they can typically scale various types of terrain. Unfortunately, there is no clear-cut definition for what makes a vehicle an SUV. Traditionally, SUVs are larger vehicles that have four-wheel drive and can drive off-road. The biggest determining factor in whether a vehicle is an SUV is how it was made.

“Sport-Utility Vehicles, better known as SUVs, use a body-on-frame design. That means the frame and body are built separately and joined together during the manufacturing process. These truck-based vehicles are generally more rugged and can be used to haul larger payloads.”

What Is A Crossover?

Nowadays, more SUV Crossovers are being made than pure SUVs. These crossovers may or may not have four-wheel drive or be able to go off-road. Again, the real factor in distinguishing a crossover from an SUV is the platform it was built on.

A Crossover is usually lighter and more fuel efficient than traditional SUVs, which has made it a popular choice for many customers. Source
