There are two points to consider here – loading the GS 450h and available trunk space. The latter is lacking due to the hybrid battery pack, which is placed behind the rear seat and spans the width of the car. As such, a great deal of cargo space is sacrificed, leaving a much smaller trunk (7.5 cubic feet) than one might expect or need with a five-passenger vehicle. Four or five passengers with all their gear for a trip to the airport would be darn near impossible.

On a more positive note, the trunk floor is low enough so as to make for easy loading, and the opening is wide. The lid and trunk are nicely finished with a lining, large mat, and light.
