If you require a vehicle with a cavernous interior, chances are you’re already looking at crossovers, SUVs, minivans, and large wagons. While larger vehicles offer more space, there are sacrifices, namely in maneuverability and handling. You won’t be as agile on the road, especially if you’re higher off the ground. But before you decide, give a smaller car some thought. One of the growing trends in compact cars is to package them so well that you don’t need to move to a larger vehicle to get plenty of room in the cabin for hauling the family or going to Costco.

From hatchbacks to sedans and small wagons, here’s a selection of 15 compact cars that offer spacious interiors for all your hauling needs plus five honorable mentions, and they’ve been arranged based on passenger volume from lowest to highest. Returning bigger than ever for 2016, the Mini Clubman is now the largest vehicle in the funky British brand’s lineup. More of a small wagon than a hatchback, the new Clubman is longer, wider, and comes with four actual doors and seating for up to five passengers.

The rear split barn doors remain but behind them is increased cargo space thanks to the new car’s bigger size. 40/20/40 split-folding rear seats are also available as an option so you can maximize the space. Thanks to its more conservative exterior design, the Volkswagen Golf offers plenty of interior space wrapped in a compact package. The versatile cabin has standard split folding rear seats, so you’ll be able to haul a nice mix of people and gear.

Should you want a hatchback that’ll get your pulse racing, the Golf GTI and Golf R will give you a nice injection of fun without sacrificing practicality. New Golf features for 2016 include a new infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Google Android Auto compatibility so you can let your mobile device take over the car’s multimedia interface. For those averse to hatchbacks, the Volkswagen Jetta offers midsize sedan space in a compact package. You and your passengers will also enjoy the extra legroom on long road trips.

If you need to haul more than what the car’s trunk can hold, the Jetta can be had with 60/40 split folding rear seats to increase cargo capacity. There’s a Jetta for everyone, from a frugal hybrid for the eco-conscious and the fun-to-drive GLI for the car enthusiast who wants a trunk.

Like its Golf sibling, the Jetta also gains a new infotainment system for 2016 that has Android Auto and CarPlay compatibility on all but the entry level variants. No, the Nissan Versa Note isn’t the most interesting car to drive, but for people looking for affordable transportation with plenty of space for passengers and gear, this one’s hard to beat. The Volkswagen Golf SportWagen offers interior space that can shame many compact crossovers/SUVs.

While the current-generation Chevrolet Cruze is on its way out, it remains a good compact sedan that puts comfort first. This means on the road, you’ll be able to sit back and relax in the car’s roomy interior while the large trunk means you won’t have to leave anything behind. Available with a 1.4-liter turbo-four or an efficient 2.0-liter turbodiesel, there’s something for everyone from the daily commuter to the hypermiler.

If you’re averse to the idea of owning a diesel-powered compact sedan, there’s also the Cruze Eco, which is rated at 28/42 mpg city/highway when equipped with the six-speed manual. Look for the second-generation 2016 Cruze to go on sale next year and expect it to come packed with all the latest tech features including Android Auto and CarPlay compatibility.

Think of the Honda Fit as the hatchback worthy of a PhD in interior packaging. A compact sedan designed with sensibility in mind, the Nissan Sentra proves you don’t need to jump up to a midsize sedan or a crossover if you need a car for family duty. While its looks may not stir the soul, the Sentra performs its mission well, meaning your passengers won’t be cramped and you don’t have to leave any stuff behind.

A face-lifted model with new headlights and a full suite of active safety systems including automatic forward emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, blind-spot warning, rear cross-traffic alert, and Active Understeer Control will go on sale next year. While it’s up next for a redesign after its sedan sibling, the Hyundai Elantra GT remains practical for families thanks to its spacious and flexible interior.
