🎒 How We Built the Duffle Bag Rating
Seven criteria that matter most to families — weighted by real-world impact.
Fuel Economy (16%)
Combined MPG or MPGe - gas savings compound fast on school runs and road trips.
Cabin Space (15%)
Passenger volume, 3rd-row availability, and comfort for growing families.
Cargo Space (15%)
Cubic feet behind 2nd and 3rd rows - strollers, sports gear, groceries all count.
Maintenance Cost (14%)
5-year ownership cost via RepairPal and Consumer Reports reliability data.
Cup Holders (13%)
Total count, size range (fits large travel mugs?), and back-seat accessibility.
Legroom (14%)
2nd-row legroom in inches - the metric that ends are-we-there-yet complaints.
Plugs and Ports (13%)
USB-A, USB-C, 120V outlets, wireless pads - total count across all rows.
