Hyundai Ioniq 6 Luggage Test: How much will fit in that sloping trunk?

I don't get to luggage test too many sedans since, well, they don't really offer a lot of sedan models any more. That's especially true in the EV realm. Of course, Tesla literally sells a boatload of its sedans, but in terms of different electric models for sale, the number offered is limited. But there's one more this year! The Hyundai Ioniq 6 takes everything we love about the funky Ioniq 5 hatchback/crossover/? and applies it to a funky Olds Aurora/Infiniti J30-looking melting sedan body, but adds sportiness and range.

I've already deeply dived into the rest of the Ioniq 6 SE interior, so now it's time to check out its cargo area. One look at that sloping rear end should be enough to tell you that this should be a pretty small trunk and you'd be right. The specs say it measures 11.2 cubic-feet, which is usually what you'd find in many coupes or smaller luxury sedans like the Genesis G70 and Cadillac CT4. Basically, if all my bags fit, I'd be shocked.

All told, this is a pretty standard trunk and it benefits from struts instead of egg-crusher hinges that rob cars like the CT4 of precious trunk space. But ...

Here's the slope of the open trunk. My bag dimensions are below, but that would be my biggest bag in the upper right (bottom for mobile users). That always fits in sedan trunks. Not even close here.

As in every luggage test I do, I use two midsize roller suitcases that would need to be checked in at the airport (26 inches long, 16 wide, 11 deep), two roll-aboard suitcases that just barely fit in the overhead (24L x 15W x 10D), and one smaller roll-aboard that fits easily (23L x 15W x 10D). I also include my wife's fancy overnight bag just to spruce things up a bit (21L x 12W x 12D).

As expected, everything didn't fit. That would be one of the medium-sized bags on the ground. The fancy bag is also a bit smushed as you can see, but a less rigid duffle bag would've been fine.

This is indeed a bit bigger than those smaller compact luxury sedans. They needed to leave behind one of the bigger bags. But, for Hyundai family reference ...

This is what you can fit in a Hyundai Sonata (full luggage test here). Everything with oodles of space left over. Good grief, did I just type "oodles"? Any way, that's the difference between 11.2 cubic-feet and 16.3.

Here are some other trunk notes.
