Cars have gotten bigger externally, but internally it seems storage space is actually going down. My 2014 Nissan Note has a 10% larger storage capacity than a 2023 Renault Espace, even tho the latter is 50cm larger in all three dimensions and is literally called ‘spatious’.

I drive a fucking roadster from 2001 and somehow it has more internal space than a 2021 sedan.

And the crumple zone is your legs, twice the use for the same space!
