Every model also gets split - folding rear seats, but no version folds flat, leaving an awkward
load lip in the way when sliding objects in.
A flat floor,
level load lip and wide boot opening are useful features, too.
The boot space has remained unchanged at 530 litres, but it now gets a
wider loading lip.
The boot opening is lower than a traditional SUV's and there's a smooth
metal loading lip and aluminium rails inside the boot to help slide heavy items inside.
There is a flat boot with a
minimal loading lip but the rear suspension slightly eats into the cargo space.
The opening is square with a fairly
low load lip, making loading heavy items fairly simple.
So in general usage a couple of comments — aimed at the coupe... While it's great an auto - tailgate is standard, from a practical point of view the very high rear luggage area
loading lip of the Coupe will challenge those of average height with an armful of heavy groceries.
The rear seats fold flat into the floor, which helps make use of the available space, while a low
loading lip makes loading heavy items easier.
Though the space itself is average by class standards at 14.1 cubic feet (the class - leading Jaguar XF, for examples, is rather impressive at 19.1 cubic feet), the boxy shape of the Audi A6's trunk does deserve some brownie points, as do the broad trunk opening and the very shallow by sedan
standards load lip.
Plus, the trunk space is also fairly good: the
shallow load lip, large aperture and boxy proportions make it quite a usable space, and the capacities (37.2 cubic feet with the rear seats up; 68.8 cubic feet with the rear seats down) help make the Lincoln MKX one of the most practical vehicles in this segment.
Still, the load bay itself is big enough for most buyers, and the combination of a wide opening and
small load lip means sliding in and out more cumbersome items should be fairly simple.
Boot accessibility is good thanks to the large bootlid, but a small
loading lip means you can't quite slide items straight in.
The TT Sportback, pretty though it may be, has an impossibly
tall loading lip, almost no rear headroom, and is tough to climb in and out of.
A large hatchback gives good access to the boot, with only a
slight load lip, however the boot has a slightly odd shape owing to some wheelarch intrusion and a large speaker in some models.
Boot space gains 110 liters over the current 5 Series GT thus turning into a 610 - liter cavern fitted with a lower
load lip for easier loading / unloading.
There's also quite a
prominent loading lip and the 60:40 split - folding rear seats don't sit flush when flipped forwards, which leaves a step to lift heavy items over.
Granted, the trunk opening is a bit narrow by class standards, and it's a shame that the rear seat backs don't fold down completely flat if you need to lug about larger items, but the low
load lip does go some way to reclaiming some of that lost ground.
The large 480 - litre boot is usefully shaped and, while there's a fairly
pronounced load lip to lift bags over, dropping the rear seats gives the Sportback a degree of practicality that's surprising in a car with such streamlined looks.
Cargo room is also very impressive by class standards (hybrid models offer 35.6 and 70.6 cubic feet when the rear seats are up and down respectively, with regular models able to swallow up 38.4 and 73.4 cubic feet), with the low
load lip aiding the loading and unloading of bulkier objects.
However, despite the shallow - by - sedan - standards
trunk load lip, the opening isn't particularly broad, and — if you'll need to frequently carry larger items — a Nissan Sentra will be more suited to your needs.
The liftback tailgate makes access to the rear cargo area easy, good for loading a bicycle for instance, and the flat
load lip helps too.
Furthermore, the boot's
loading lip sits high, making loading and unloading a harder task than it should be.
Although the Baleno has a spacious boot, the higher and
narrower loading lip makes it slightly harder to stow heavy baggage, as compared to the i20.
Load your lips with plush, pigment - rich color with the NYX Professional Makeup Matte Lipstick.
The trunk opening is particularly broad, with the combination of a
shallow load lip and a hatchback trunk lid making it particularly easy to use the impressive - by - class - standards 24.5 cubic feet of space with the rear seats in place.
Also, the 222 - litre boot sits deep and has a
large loading lip, making it tricky to load / remove heavy luggage.
It's a nice square shape with a
level loading lip to make getting heavy loads in easy, while the rear seats fold easily in a 60:40 split to reveal a useful 1,290 litres of overall capacity.
The boot is big and will serve the purposes for family motoring, but it does have an inconveniently
high load lip.
It's a usefully shaped boot, too, with a low and
flat loading lip to avoid snagging heavier items.
The boot at around 513 - litres is big enough and its square shape and low
loading lip makes it very usable.
Better still, the trunk itself is broad and boxy, and is further aided by the wide opening and the shallow - by - sedan -
standards load lip — plus, if you need more room, the 60:40 split - folding rear seats fold away almost completely flat.
Both versions have a large bootlid that features a wide opening a reasonably
low loading lip.
However, the tail does have some faults: three - quarter rear visibility is poor,
the loading lip is too high, the trunk is shallow, and the badge - style latch is bound to get dirty and wet in no time at all.
Just as Audi has managed to crash the four - door - coupe party with the beautiful new A7, it hopes to top the X6 by offering a prettier shape, a more spacious rear passenger compartment, better visibility, easier entry and exit, more cargo space, a lower
loading lip, and an optional full - length glass roof.
However, overall practicality is compromised by a high
load lip and a small tailgate opening, making the luggage area a bit tricky to access.
Cargo space stands at 13 cu - ft - it's not the best out there, yet loading and unloading require less effort courtesy of a wide trunk opening and low
loading lip.
Vauxhall has also made loading easier with a lower
load lip.
Nevertheless, hooks for your shopping bags and a lower
load lip are useful additions.
The boot is easily accessed thanks to a low
loading lip and it has a practical, square shape.
Yes,
the load lip could be lower but there's no arguing with the Octavia's cargo capacity.
The car also features a low
load lip (although it's a little higher on the All - Terrain version), while the retractable cover rises up as the tailgate opens, making it easier to access items in the boot.
Also, the small boot space with a high
loading lip is still one of the biggest drawbacks of the car.
It's easy to access the boot, too, as
the load lip is lower to the ground than in many rivals.
