Let's talk about the Genesis G80 and its boot space. Surely, this isn't a topic that's going to keep you awake at night, but if you're considering this luxurious sedan for your next automotive purchase, you'll want to know if it can fit all your junk in its trunk.
Now, our focus here is on the 2021 G80, which belongs to the generation that started in 2021. But I bet you're a curious sort, so it's futile to mention that there are no older generations to compare it to. However, you're yearning for numbers; I can sense that. So the current G80 has a boot space of 354 litres – not a bad offering, consider it's a Genesis.
Let's examine how the G80's trunk space stacks up against its Genesis siblings, shall we? Its smaller stablemate, the Genesis G70, clocks in at 330 litres. The larger Genesis G80 steps it up to 424 litres, while the electric-first Genesis GV60 offers 432 litres. Meanwhile, the quirky Genesis G70 Shooting Brake boasts a generous 465 litres, and the electrified SUVs – the Genesis GV70 Electrified and GV70 – have boot capacities of 503 and 542 litres, respectively. Finally, the Genesis GV80 dwarfs them all with a cavernous 735 litres of boot space. Clearly, the G80 sits somewhere in the middle of the Genesis lineup when it comes to cargo capacity.
Now for a pugilistic comparison with its outside rivals. The Mercedes-Benz E-Klasse (540 litres) and BMW 5er-Reihe (530 litres) both embarrass the G80, as does the extravagantly high-powered ALPINA B5/B7/B9/B10/D5/D10 (5er-Reihe) (530 litres). The BMW 7er-Reihe (515 litres) and Mercedes-Benz S-Klasse (510 litres) offer more boot space too, while the Maserati Ghibli (500 litres) and Volvo S90/V90 (453 litres) constitute a closer contest. Finally, the Jaguar XF (415 litres) and G80 seem like the most evenly matched. To sum it up, the G80's boot size might not be exceptional, but it's certainly enough to accommodate most owners' needs.
