Default Suitcase?

Happy New Year all! Without getting out a tape measure, does anyone happen to know if a full size suitcase will fit in a C8 trunk or frunk? On way to airport now to pick up my daughter and not exactly sure what luggage she has? Thanks Obviously I should have checked before leaving!!

Most any regular size should fit in the trunk. Smaller ones can fit in the frunk!

Not so. I could not get my Daughter's suitcase in the trunk. I would absolutely measure.

What is a "full size" suitcase today? Are there even such things anymore?

Went through the same thing, packing my roller board for a trip, that can fit in an aircraft overhead bin only to find out at the last minute that it would NOT fit in the trunk or frunk..
My COMPLETE C7 luggage 5 piece set I have fits perfectly in the C8....the C7 roller boards dems> 23" long x 16" wide x 8" deep exterior dimensions.

Front does fit an overhead bag. Rear can take two plus other smaller items.

I rented a 2023 HTC last year, before I purchased my 2025 and even before I had ever sat in one. My wifes suitcase would not fit in the trunk, but luckily I brought a bungee cord with me in my carryon and was able to strap it down...ha ha.

I can't help with the original question because I don't know what a full size suitcase is. But if looking for luggage, the video at this link show how pack a set of club glove luggage in the car. Its good quality luggage and expensive. But even if you don't want to buy it, you can look on their website and find the exact dimensions of each piece - there are other choices in those sizes. The point being this shows a way to pack a good bit of luggage in the car.

Very old subject. About the only thing that it is designed to fit is a small bag of golf clubs. The Game Changer is NOT designed to be a DD, even though some do. Aside from the logistics, I would not want to park near anyone else, ... Just drive and enjoy it, vs use it.

My full size golf bag fits with no interference. A PGA pro bag would not. The two golf bags Chevy says fit must be small travel bags than don't hold 14 clubs each plus stuff.

If an overhead airplane bag doesn't fit, it is not the legal overhead bin size. Soft sided luggage will allow maximum stuff. Cosmetics or other melty stuff should go in the frunk or passenger compartment.

Yeah, I'm going to really miss my C7 for long road trips. I was able to carry everything I needed last June when I went on a month and a half trip throughout the west. I have another trip planned this coming summer for the same amount of time but in my new C8. Thankfully I'm a solo driver, so if need be I can always put some stuff in the passengers seat.

Not bad for the occasional IKEA run...
