The GL8 can hold four 21-inch suitcases when fully loaded. Below are the specific details about the GL8: 1. Introduction to the Buick GL8: As a benchmark in the premium MPV segment, the Buick GL8 is renowned for its luxurious and powerful performance, spacious comfort, and has achieved batch exports, earning the title of 'Perfect MPV' from Southeast Asian media. 2. Exterior of the Buick GL8: The vehicle features robust body lines while maintaining smooth curves where needed, incorporating the brand's classic wing design language, which perfectly balances sophistication and modernity. The dimensions are 5219mm × 1878mm × 1799mm, with a wheelbase of 3088mm.
Last time I took my family of seven on a trip in a Buick GL8, the trunk space was really tight when fully loaded. Under standard conditions, it can fit two or three 20-inch carry-on sized suitcases, depending on the size of the luggage and how you arrange them—hard-shell cases can only fit two, while soft bags or smaller cases plus backpacks can squeeze in three or four. If the third-row seats cannot be fully folded, the space becomes even tighter. When traveling, we had to carefully plan our luggage, measuring the dimensions before packing, and avoid stacking items too high to block the rear window view, as it could impair visibility while driving and affect safety. It's advisable to plan ahead, placing less frequently used items at the bottom of the trunk and small items in the corners.
As someone who has been driving an MPV for a long time, I understand the trunk capacity of the GL8 when fully loaded: the official data is approximately 475 liters. It can accommodate 2-3 carry-on suitcases or one 28-inch large suitcase plus two small bags. The key to space utilization is the way the suitcases are arranged. Hard-shell suitcases can be placed vertically to fit more, but avoid overloading to prevent the door from closing. Factors affecting the capacity include the fixed design of the third row and the size of the luggage. For example, two standard 20-inch suitcases can easily fit, and if it's a child's small backpack, you can add one more. Before traveling, it's best to bring a tape measure to check the interior space to avoid any awkward situations on the road.
I find the GL8's trunk space quite limited when fully loaded, so practicality is key for luggage. It can generally fit two to three small to medium-sized suitcases—for example, three 20-inch carry-ons fit snugly, but only one and a half large hard-shell suitcases. Safety-wise, be careful not to stack luggage too high, as it could obstruct the driver's view. For daily commutes, this space is sufficient, but for long trips, you’ll need to pack light, prioritizing soft bags or backpacks that can be squeezed into corners.
