Hi, I’m in the market for a new vehicle and am looking at 2024/2025 compact and mid-sized SUVs. One feature I’d like is enough cargo space to fit two golf bags horizontally without having to put seats down. I obviously will look at them in person too, but if I can eliminate some models that wouldn’t be a match, that will help me prioritize the ones that are. It’s a bit more difficult to find width specs online than I’d have hoped. I’m open to all makes and models as a starting point with research and I have some flexibility financially, though luxury brands will be more of a stretch than I’d probably prefer. If anyone has any recommendations on vehicles or resources that could help, I’d appreciate it. Thank you! ---

I’d drive by golf courses and see what’s in the parking lot. Stop and chat, people are usually coming and going. ---

LOL. I have no answers for you. But I did buy a used Saab 9-3 convertible. Not a ton of cargo room! But oddly, the owner’s manual literally had a section on how to load in two sets of golf clubs. I just thought it was funny. (I don’t have the details - never needed to know). Anyway, I like @texases ’ suggestion. And it’s probably easier than you think if you can maneuver them into the trunk of a Saab and still put the top down! ---

I used to have a golf bag with about 20 clubs and wheels. Then got it down to about five. They are different size so measure what you have and take a tape measure with you when looking at cars. One rental car couldn’t even handle two suitcases in back though without using the back seat. If you join a club though, you can get a locker and leave them there. ---

Sorry, this is just going to be like Bing said - tape measure time . Since golf bags come all the way from Sunday carry to Tour size monsters. Why the reluctance to putting just one side of the rear seats down? ---

I had a 2013 RAV4 and it held one bag of clubs on the roof. ---

I can easily fit 2 sets of clubs and 2 pull/push carts in the back of my Highlander without folding the seats down. ---

Agreed. You’re really going to limit your choices if you’re not willing to fold down seats. I’d even go so far as to say you could include cars/sedans in your choices, if you are able to fold down seats. You’d be surprised how much stuff you can fit into a hatchback car, especially with the rear seats folded down. ---

I put 2 medium size cart bags and 2 push carts in our 2018 Ford Fiesta with the rear seats folded .
