How many 28-inch suitcases can the GL8 trunk hold?
4 Answers
GL8 trunk can hold at least two 28-inch suitcases. The Buick GL8 has a spacious trunk, and even three 28-inch suitcases can fit without any issues. The GL8 is Buick's flagship MPV, suitable for both business and family use. After upgrades, the trunk performance of the GL8 remains similar to the current model, with support for folding the rear seats in a split ratio. Below are some precautions for the trunk: Do not store flammable or explosive items: Since the trunk is an enclosed space, temperatures can rise very quickly. Storing lighters, hairspray, or other flammable and explosive items in the trunk can lead to explosions due to high summer temperatures and long-distance jolts, with unimaginable consequences. Do not store valuables: Keeping valuables, premium cigarettes, or fine liquor in the trunk is highly unsafe. Thieves are cunning, so never leave valuables in the car trunk.
As a car owner, I've been driving the GL8 for several years and often take my family on long trips. Each 28-inch suitcase is approximately 78 cm tall. With the third-row seats up, the trunk can fit 2 to 3 of them. If the third row is folded down, the space increases significantly, easily accommodating 4 to 6 suitcases. I remember the last family trip—we packed three large suitcases along with camping gear, and there was still room in the back for backpacks without feeling cramped. The GL8's trunk design is practical, with a depth of about 80 cm—placing suitcases vertically saves more space than horizontally. The advantage of an MPV is its strong practicality; it handles family trips and cargo with ease. Just remember to leave some gaps for easy access when loading and unloading items.
From a car repair perspective, I frequently work with GL8 models. A 28-inch suitcase placed in the trunk can fit up to 6 at most when calculated by standard size, provided the third row is folded down. I've tried stacking boxes—safety first, don't overload and affect the suspension; just ensure the trunk door closes smoothly. Remember to check tire pressure when carrying loads, as increased cargo will slightly raise fuel consumption. It's recommended to regularly clean out trunk clutter during maintenance to maximize space utilization.
Traveling with friends in a GL8, we placed three 28-inch suitcases and ski equipment in the trunk, which was more than enough. Each suitcase is nearly 80 cm tall, and the GL8's trunk is about one meter wide with ample depth for stacking, offering a strong sense of space. Even after loading four or five suitcases, there was still room for miscellaneous items. The journey was comfortable and not cramped at all—the spaciousness of an MPV truly makes it a travel essential.
