Mercedes-Benz EQS Sedan Luggage Test: How much trunk space?

Mercedes-Benz EQS Sedan Luggage Test: How much trunk space?



I've already tested how much cargo space is behind the EQS SUV's third-row seat, and well, it was laughable. Turns out there is nothing laughable about the EQS sedan cargo area: It is enormous and exceptional.

According to Mercedes specs, there is 22 cubic feet of space back there, which is gigantic for a sedan. Yes, the EQS is technically a hatchback, but there's not that much space up there. Ultimately I'd discover that the amount of trunk space in the EQS sedan is basically the same as the EQS SUV if you only loaded that to the rear seat height level. That would probably explain why Mercedes reports the SUV has having 22.7 cubic feet of cargo space: it only measures to the back seat height, unlike most SUV makers, which report based on floor-to-roof.

OK, let's take a look at the sedan.

This is just an incredibly long space. I can barely reach the seatback and I'm 6-foot-3.

This isn't the end of the story.

There is a sizable underfloor storage area, admittedly filled here with the tire fix kit and charge cord. If you're the gambling sort, you can leave those at home and gain some space.

Specifically, a somewhat squashed fancy bag (see dimensions below) or a bunch of wine and orange juice standing upright. That makes it a terrifically useful hooch bin.
