If you’re eyeing a Genesis Electrified GV70, you’re probably wondering whether this sleek Korean luxury EV can pull family duty: strollers, Costco runs, skis, dogs, the whole carnival. On paper the Genesis Electrified GV70 cargo space dimensions look ordinary for a compact SUV, but in practice, they’re cleverly executed and more usable than the numbers suggest.
Key cargo numbers (U.S. models)

Genesis Electrified GV70 cargo stats (U.S.)
Genesis did the EV conversion of the GV70 without turning the rear end into a science experiment. The battery lives under the floor, so the cargo area keeps the same basic dimensions you’ll find in the gasoline GV70: roughly 29 cubic feet with the second row up and about 57 cubic feet with it down. Official U.S. spec sheets peg the Electrified GV70 at 28.7 / 56.5 cubic feet (behind second row / maximum), with a small bonus frunk around one cubic foot.
Detailed Genesis Electrified GV70 cargo dimensions
Let’s break the cargo space down the way you actually use it: with the family on board during the week and everything folded for Ikea or road‑trip duty on weekends.
Genesis Electrified GV70 cargo volume (U.S. models)
Key cargo and interior measurements that affect how much you can carry.
| Measurement | Electrified GV70 | What it means for you |
|---|---|---|
| Cargo behind 2nd row | 28.7 cu ft | Everyday trunk space with all five seats usable. |
| Max cargo (rear seats folded) | 56.5 cu ft | Full load area from hatch to front seats. |
| Passenger volume | 102.8 cu ft | Total cabin room for people, similar to top compact SUVs. |
| Overall length | 185.6 in | Compact outside, easier to park than a three‑row SUV. |
| Overall width | 75.2 in | Wide enough for two golf bags side‑by‑side at the hatch. |
Cargo figures are manufacturer and third‑party spec‑sheet values for recent U.S. Electrified GV70 model years.
Think in suitcases, not just cubic feet
Frunk space and small-item storage
Because the Electrified GV70 is adapted from a gas platform, the front trunk isn’t the yawning cargo bay you see in some dedicated EVs. Still, Genesis carves out a small frunk of roughly 0.8–1.0 cubic feet, think shoebox, not steamer trunk. It’s sized perfectly for the included charge cable, a tire inflator, or a few emergency items you don’t want rolling around in back.
Smart storage beyond the main cargo hold
Where all the little daily‑life objects actually live.
Frunk (front trunk)
Ideal for:
- Charge cables
- Gloves and rain poncho
- Tire repair kit
Keeps dirty or wet items away from the pristine cabin.
Under‑floor rear bin
Hidden compartment under the cargo floor holds:
- Cables and small tools
- Emergency kit
- Straps or bungees
Cabin cubbies
Deep center console, big door pockets, rear seatback pockets and a usable glovebox make everyday clutter easier to manage so the trunk stays open for the big stuff.
Don’t overestimate the frunk
How much stuff fits? Real-world packing examples
Cubic feet are abstract. Here’s how the Electrified GV70’s cargo dimensions translate into actual living: weekends away, airport duty, flat‑pack furniture and the eternal question of whether the dog can come too.
Everyday family duty (seats up)
- Stroller + diaper bag + groceries: Fits without drama, thanks to the low liftover and square opening.
- Airport run: 3–4 full‑size checked bags laid flat or on edge, plus a couple of carry‑ons stacked on top.
- Dog plus luggage: A medium dog crate or big soft dog bed fits behind the second row with two large suitcases beside or stacked.
If you regularly carry a third‑row of passengers, you’re shopping in the wrong segment, this is a two‑row SUV with serious comfort for four, five in a pinch.
Max‑load mode (seats folded)
- Ikea/Costco run: Long flat floor swallows flat‑pack furniture, cases of water and bulky boxes without Tetris‑level planning.
- Outdoor gear: A pair of assembled mountain bikes fit with wheels turned slightly and the front tires possibly removed; skis, snowboards and camping gear are easy.
- College move‑in: Think 6–8 large moving boxes plus duffel bags, depending on how you stack.
You won’t confuse it with a Tahoe, but for something this quick and luxurious, the hauling ability is impressive.
Bottom line on capacity
Electrified GV70 vs. gas GV70 and rival EV SUVs
One of the nice tricks Genesis pulls here is that the Electrified GV70 doesn’t really penalize you for going electric. Compared with the gas GV70, the cargo numbers are essentially a rounding error apart, and the shape of the space is identical.
Cargo space comparison: Electrified GV70 vs. key rivals
Approximate figures for recent model years; always confirm the exact year you’re shopping.
| Model | Cargo behind 2nd row | Max cargo (rear seats folded) | Notable trait |
|---|---|---|---|
| Genesis Electrified GV70 | 28.7 cu ft | 56.5 cu ft | Luxury‑first cabin, EV power, space very close to gas GV70. |
| Genesis GV70 (gas) | 28.9 cu ft | 56.9 cu ft | Essentially the same cargo volume; no EV penalty. |
| Tesla Model Y | ~30.2 cu ft | ~76.2 cu ft | More max volume and a deeper well, but a plainer cabin. |
| Volvo XC40 Recharge | ~16 cu ft | ~48 cu ft | Smaller, more upright cargo area. |
| Mercedes‑Benz EQB | ~22 cu ft | ~61 cu ft | Optional tiny third row shrinks usable space. |
The Electrified GV70 trades a little maximum volume for style and performance, but remains competitive for everyday use.
Where the Electrified GV70 sits in the pack
Cargo flexibility: seats, floor, and usability
Spec sheets don’t tell you whether you’ll bang your shin or swear at the parcel shelf. Here’s what the Electrified GV70 is like to live with in the back.
Everyday usability details that matter
Why this cargo area feels better than the number suggests.
Wide hatch opening
Low liftover height
Flat, square floor
Seat and cargo tricks to know
60/40‑split folding rear seat
Fold either side of the rear bench to juggle people and cargo, two passengers plus skis, for example, or one child seat and a big dog.
Remote seat releases (varies by trim/year)
Some trims offer release levers in the cargo area so you can drop the backrests from the hatch rather than walking around to the rear doors.
Removable cargo cover
The retractable cover can be pulled out entirely when you need vertical space for tall boxes or plants.
Under‑floor storage for cables
Stash charge cables under the rear floor or in the frunk so they don’t eat into your day‑to‑day trunk volume.
Watch the slope of the rear glass
Tips to maximize cargo space in a used Electrified GV70
If you’re considering a used Electrified GV70, or already own one, small tweaks can make the most of its already clever packaging. Think of it as working with a beautifully designed apartment: the bones are good, you just add organizers.
- Use soft‑sided duffels instead of hard luggage; they flex into the corners and under the sloping glass.
- Invest in a shallow cargo bin to sit over the under‑floor compartment, keeping small items organized without sacrificing depth.
- If you frequently haul bikes or skis, consider a hitch rack or roof box to keep the cabin mess‑free and preserve rearward visibility.
- When loading heavy items, slide them in first on the flat floor, then stack lighter bags on top to avoid door‑closing drama.
- Keep the frunk dedicated to charging gear so you always know where the cable is, and never have to dig through luggage at a roadside charger.
