The 3 has at least 5 cubic feet more in cargo space than the Civic. In practice there is a pretty big difference between those two cars.

- kube-system 5y agoThe Civic and 3 both have 15 ft^3 of cargo space according to the EPA. Regardless, the Accord dwarfs it and supports the above point that the Model 3 is a heavy car, and the BMW 3 series is heavy because it was built to have a premium feel as a design priority, not because it is ICE.
- _ea1k 5y agoThat's odd, I had no idea the EPA even presented a spec like that. It must be a difference in how they estimate it. The BMW comparison is interesting as the performance numbers are similar. The 3 series heft vs a civic is largely due to the engine and drivetrain choices. Its much easier to optimize weight on a low powered FWD car.
