In the compact SUV segment, competition has long gone beyond design and image: today, buyers in Spain increasingly focus on practicality, trunk capacity, and everyday versatility. The Skoda Enyaq RS, Dacia Bigster Hybrid 155, Opel Grandland, and GWM Wey 03 are four models that, according to AUTO BILD, stand out for their combination of spaciousness and modern technology. For the Spanish market, where station wagons are gradually giving way to crossovers, such options are becoming especially relevant.
Skoda Enyaq RS: an electric vehicle with maximum practicality
The Skoda Enyaq RS is an electric SUV positioned in Spain as one of the roomiest in its class. All-wheel drive, 340 HP, and a trunk capacity ranging from 585 to 1,710 liters make it not only technologically advanced but also a truly family-friendly vehicle. The RS version of the Enyaq offers a more dynamic character, while retaining Skoda’s signature comfort and a high level of equipment. Importantly, even with its sporty focus, the model remains convenient for long trips and transporting bulky cargo. The base RS version is priced above €60,000, placing the Enyaq in the premium price segment; however, for buyers seeking space, modern technology, and electric drive, it is one of the most balanced options on the market.
Dacia Bigster Hybrid 155: maximum space for minimum money
The Dacia Bigster Hybrid 155 is a rare example of an SUV that combines a huge trunk (from 546 to 1,851 liters) with a hybrid engine and an affordable price. On the Spanish market, the Bigster targets families and pragmatic buyers who value not just fuel efficiency, but also real capacity. Inside, it is functional, without frills, but spacious—designed for carrying bulky items and long-distance travel. The 155 CV hybrid system provides enough power for both city and highway, and the price for a well-equipped version barely exceeds 30,000 euros. The Bigster does not aim for sportiness, but in the segment of practical SUVs with a large trunk and low cost, it has few direct rivals.
Opel Grandland: a balanced mild hybrid for long journeys
The Opel Grandland is a classic example of a mild hybrid SUV, long known in Spain for its practicality. The 1.2 turbo engine with a 48-volt system makes the Grandland efficient both in the city and on the highway, and a trunk ranging from 550 to 1,600 liters lets it serve as a family car for travel. Inside, it offers clear ergonomics, good seats, and a high level of comfort. The Grandland trails the Enyaq in performance and capacity, but wins on price: the base version costs just over 35,000 euros, while a well-equipped model is about 42,000. For those seeking a reliable, comfortable, and not overly expensive SUV for daily use and long trips, the Grandland remains one of the most sensible choices.
GWM Wey 03: hybrid champion in power and range
The GWM Wey 03 is a hybrid SUV that stands out not only for its technical features but also for a record-breaking power output in its segment: a total of 442 hp and 685 Nm of torque. Two electric motors and a 2.0 turbo petrol engine provide all-wheel drive and acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.9 seconds. The Wey 03 is equipped with a large PHEV battery (34 kWh gross), allowing up to 123 km in electric mode and a combined range of up to 604 km without recharging. The trunk capacity ranges from 517 to 1,289 liters, and the maximum towing weight with brakes is 2,000 kg, making the Wey 03 stand out among competitors. Prices start at around 50,000 euros, making this model attractive for those seeking a powerful, high-tech, and versatile SUV with a focus on electric autonomy.
Practicality versus image
In Spain, where compact SUVs are overtaking station wagons and minivans, trunk space and interior flexibility are key factors when making a choice. Families with children, active city dwellers, and those who frequently travel around the country are increasingly paying attention to models like the Skoda Enyaq RS, Dacia Bigster Hybrid 155, Opel Grandland, and GWM Wey 03. Importantly, these vehicles not only offer plenty of space, but also meet current standards for efficiency, equipment, and safety. Against this backdrop, it becomes especially interesting to compare them with other new electric cars, such as in the report on the rivalry between the Renault 4 and Mini E — a single nuance can tip the choice in favor of one model or another.
In the Spanish market, compact SUVs with large trunks are becoming not just a trend, but a real response to the demands of buyers who value versatility, comfort, and modern technology. In the coming years, it is these models that will shape sales in a segment where practicality takes center stage.
