How many kilograms can the trunk of the Lavida carry?

The maximum load capacity of the Lavida's trunk is approximately 500 kilograms. Trunk load capacity: It varies depending on the brand and model of the car, and the number of passengers also has an impact. Luggage weight = total vehicle weight - curb weight - driver and passenger weight. For most 1.5L sedans, with four passengers, you can carry an additional 100 kilograms of luggage. Under normal circumstances (with only the driver), the trunk can hold no more than 200 kilograms. Carrying excessively heavy loads for a long time will significantly increase fuel consumption, reduce vehicle stability, and accelerate tire wear. Generally, try not to carry too many items. Dimensions of the Lavida's trunk: The trunk dimensions are 580 millimeters in height, with a minimum width of 1040 millimeters and a maximum width of 1430 millimeters, and a length of 1100 millimeters. With the rear seats folded down, the length can reach up to 1910 millimeters, providing a trunk volume ranging from 435 to 1342 liters, which is more than sufficient for family use.
I've been driving the Lavida for several years and have some insights on its trunk load capacity. According to official data, the maximum trunk load is usually around 220-250 kg, depending on the model year and configuration; generally, the recommended limit for 2020 models and above is 230 kg. But it's not just about the numbers—practical usage matters too: with a spacious 510-liter capacity, it can hold plenty of luggage or gear, but overloading can easily damage the chassis suspension and affect turning and braking. I recommend using a household scale to weigh items before loading, avoiding stacking things too high or too heavy, like moving boxes or tool kits. Weekly checks on tire pressure and chassis height can help prevent issues, and pay attention to load warnings in the driving records. From a safety perspective, excessive load increases accident risks, so it's best to keep it under 200 kg to leave some margin.
As a frequent road tripper, I recall the Lavida's trunk load limit is around 240kg, as stated in the user manual. From practical experience, I once loaded 150kg of camping gear and noticed significant rear-end sagging with slower handling. The key factor is weight distribution—placing heavy items forward and arranging them evenly can reduce pressure. Also consider item dimensions: large boxes may occupy space without being heavy, while small tools might unexpectedly exceed limits. I recommend making a pre-trip checklist to estimate weight, using apps or simple math. Don’t forget to inspect the rear suspension system, as worn components increase risks. Overloading not only damages the car but also raises fuel consumption and maintenance frequency. Keeping loads under 220kg ensures stable driving.
