Hey guys and today we're going to see how much stuff can fit into the trunk of
the 2018 Genesis G80.
Now before I get this review rolling, I would like to thank Tony King at Rick Case
Hyundai in Fort Lauderdale Florida for allowing me to review this vehicle for you guys.

and live in the South Florida area, don't hesitate to check them out. They will get
you into the perfect Hyundai in no time. And remember that all of DriveAndBeDriven's
reviews are 100% honest and 0% biased. So, let's get started!
Now I did conduct a complete in-depth review of the 2018 Genesis G80 Sport. So, if you
are interested in knowing more information about this vehicle, don't
hesitate to check out that complete in-depth review. But, today we are going
to see exactly how much stuff you can fit into the trunk of the 2018 Genesis G80
Alright, now there are a total of four ways to open up the trunk of the 2018
Genesis G80, and one of the ways to open up the trunk will be by coming to the
rear of the vehicle coming right below your Genesis logo and pressing on the
rubber pad (right here) next year reverse camera. And that will open up the trunk.
Another way to open up the trunk will be by coming over here to your driver's area,
opening up the front door, and pressing the button (right here) left to the
steering wheel. And that will open up the trunk for you. The third way to open up
the trunk will be by coming to the rear of the Genesis G80, as long as you have
the key fob on you, and the trunk will open up through a Hands-Free Smart Trunk
Access System. And that is going to be standard all across the Genesis G80
lineup. So, if you go for the base 3.8 model, or the top-of-the-line 5.0 model,
you are going to get this Smart Trunk Access System as standard equipment.
And the fourth way to open up the trunk will be by just coming to your key fob design
(right here) and holding down on this button.
[trunk chime]
The G80 will play a little chime
for you and the trunk will open right on up. Now, if you want this power-assisted
feature on your Genesis G80 it is not going to come as standard equipment all
across the lineup unfortunately. If you're going for that base 3.8 liter
engine you will have to step up to the ultimate package in order to get this
power assisted feature, but if you're going for the Genesis G80 Sport, like
the one I have right here, or the G80 5.0, it is going to
come as standard equipment. But, once the trunk opens up, it is going to reveal a
pretty sizable trunk for its class. You are going to be looking at just about
15.3 cubic feet of space. And coming in a bit closer and looking
at the overall furnishings inside of here you are going to notice that
Genesis definitely played attention to the overall interior quality, especially
when it does come to the trunk. You are going to notice that it's going to have
this pretty soft feeling and durable feeling carpet inside of here; definitely
doesn't feel cheap at all. And that carpet is going to run all the way on to
the side walls of the Genesis G80 and even the ceiling up here. So it's
definitely a pretty neat feature and I really like how Genesis did pretty much
pay attention to that. Also, you will notice that there are going to be these
chrome hooks located all around the cargo area and that is going to allow
for you to put in a cargo net and put things underneath that cargo nets to
prevent things from sliding all over the place inside of your trunk. Also, there
will be these little compartments (right here) that you can open up and that is
going to be to change out your tail lights. So, these are not going to be
storage compartments, unfortunately, but you can change out the tail lights on
both sides by using these little openings right there. Also, underneath the
cargo load floor there's actually going to be a spare tire, which is definitely a
pretty neat feature. So, if you just open this right on up, it is going to reveal
your compact spare tire. It's not a full size spare tire, but at least Genesis is
going to give you a spare tire nonetheless and you are going to see
that you are going to have all of your tools right there as well as your
battery right there so as opposed to Genesis putting the battery underneath
your hood they are going to put it inside of the trunk. But closing that
right on back up you are going to notice that it's going to be a pretty helpful
handle to open it up as well... You just pretty much just pull on that and it
opens right on up, so that's definitely a pretty neat feature. Now the Genesis G80
also comes with this grocery hook as standard equipment on all of your
Genesis G80 models, as well, which is definitely a pretty neat feature. It is
going to have a 10 kilogram max load. So, don't put too many things on here, but
overall it should be able to hold most things from your local grocery store.
Also, the Genesis G80 will come with these LED lights on both sides (right
here) and that will allow for you to pretty much see things at nighttime.
That's definitely a pretty neat feature. At least Genesis is going to give you LED
lights, and two lights, unlike a lot of vehicles which do tend
to leave you with just a single incandescent bulb. And in the Genesis,
unfortunately, you cannot fold down the rear seats inside of the Genesis G80.
But that's pretty much the case with most other vehicles in the midsize
luxury sedan segment, but you will get this little center pass-through (right
here). So, if you have longer objects you can just press that down and slide in
those longer objects right through that center pass-through. Now looking up here
on the trunk lid, on the inner portion, once again, it is going to carry over
that carpeting. It's not going to be as soft of a carpeting, it's going to be a
bit more rough pretty much just saving on cost, but nevertheless at least they
still give you this carpeting up here and you're also going to have your
closed button as well as your clothes and lock button. So, let's say you're done
taking things out of the trunk. You just take everything out, you press this
button, and the G80's trunk will close and the entire vehicle will lock on itself. And
(right here) you're also going to have an umbrella holder. You press this open and you
can put in your umbrella and close it right on in there. So, if your pretty much
gets stuck in the rain you can just come right back here and rely on your
umbrella, which would be right here and not get lost in your trunk. So, that's
definitely a pretty neat feature that Genesis offers that, as well. Now if
you're looking at its competitors the Genesis G80 Sport is going to be ranking
in just around the middle of the pack in terms of trunk size in the mid-size
luxury sedan segment. So, if you are looking at the Mercedes E-class it is
going to have a trunk size of just about 13.1 cubic feet of space. The Cadillac
CTS will have just about 13.7 cubic feet of space. The Audi A6 will have just
about 14.1 cubic feet of space. The Lexus ES will have 15.2 cubic feet of space.
This is when the Genesis G80 will come in at 15.3 cubic feet of space. Then, the
Jaguar XF will have 17.8 cubic feet of space. The Lexus GS will have 18.4 cubic
feet of space. And then the BMW 5-series will have a pretty large 18.7 cubic feet
of space.
Alright! So, now let's see how a pool little with a 5.3 foot long length fits
widthwise inside the trunk of the Genesis G80. So, let's open up the trunk
right here and let's put in our pool noodle. So, I did just put the pool noodle all
the way against the wall right there and you are going to see that the pool
noodle is going to fit with quite a bit of clearance (here)... I say that's just
about 2 to 3 inches... Maybe even 4 inches of clearance (right there). So,
the pool noodle is going to fit with no problem right here widthwise. So, if you are
trying to carry something that is about 5.3 feet long in length you can rest
assured that it will pretty much fit right inside of here, but if you are
trying to put it in a little bit further down in the cargo area it's not going to
fit since the cargo area is going to start to taper down as you get closer to
the rear seats (in there) As you can tell, it is going to get a bit more narrow, but
for the most part, if you are trying to put something, for example like this pool
noodle, it will fit in here with some room to spare. Alright! So, now let's see
how this pool noodle fits lengthwise. So, let's push it all the way in (right there)
and you are going to see that it is going to protrude out just a little bit
(right here) and that's mainly going to be because you can now fold down the rear
seats inside of the Genesis G80. Unfortunately, but this is actually quite
impressive especially for a vehicle that has the rear seats folded up because I
usually test this with vehicles rear seats folded down and a lot of the pool
noodles just barely fit. And here the pool noodle just barely doesn't fit, but those
rear seats aren't even folded down. So, that's definitely a pretty neat feature,
but if you are planning on carrying something that's long like this for
example skis, or something like that, you can pretty much just open up that center
pass-through and slide it right through there, and that will allow for you to
carry much longer objects.
Alright! So, let's see how a 22 inch suitcase fits inside of the trunk of the
Genesis G80. So, let's first put this in lengthwise right here and see if it fits.
And pushing it in lengthwise you are going to see that this suitcase is going
to fit in here with no problem. Alright. So, now let's see how this suitcase fits
in here height wise. So, let's put it in height wise here, and you are going to
see that it is going to struggle just a little bit to fit in width wise... It's not
necessarily going to fit extremely easily, but it's sort of just jams inside
of there. But unfortunately you are going to see that it is going to be protruding
out quite a bit right there. So, that 22 inch suitcase is not necessarily going
to be able to fit, but you can turn the suitcase (this way) and it'll be a bit
more efficient. You can see that you can pretty much move it around inside
of there, but once again it is still going to be protruding out just a little
bit (right up there on the upper portion), but let's close up the trunk anyways and
see if maybe the Genesis g80 can squeeze it in.
And unfortunately this 22 inch suitcase is not going to fit inside of the trunk.
The Genesis G80 definitely tried to fit it inside of there, but unfortunately
it did not fit.
Alright! So, let's see how many laundry baskets with an 11 inch height and a 17
inch diameter can fit inside of the trunk.
Alright. So, we have one - and I don't want the lips to overlap so I'm going to
move this over right there - three, four,
and five. So, a total of five laundry baskets are going to fit with the rear
seats folded up inside of the Genesis G80. Now you may be wondering why I
don't put another laundry basket (right here) and that is going to be because the
cargo area is just not tall enough to fit two laundry baskets stacked on top
of each other. So, you are going to get a total of five laundry baskets to fit
with those rear seats folded up. Now, unfortunately, like I mentioned earlier
those rear seats do not fold down. So, this is going to be the exact same
rating that I am going to give the Genesis G80 for the rear seats folded down.
