GX550h hybrid trunk space is mind boggling

[supermark]

yep. They did it again on the lx700h.
Is this some kind of joke Or loyalty compliance test for the Toyota fanboy?

wow.....toyota has all this experience with Hybrids and this is the best they could come up with?

Where are the pics from? Looks like the battery storage is taking up a lot of cargo space.
Any news on the GX hybrid?

Soooo lame...

The bizarre part was Toyota really thumped their chest about this platform being designed from the ground up for electrification.

I’d fire some of those designers lol

That's horrible. With 3rd row seats in place, you have enough storage for a few small bags, looks like a typical airplane carry-on wouldn't even fit.

Then with the 3rd row folded you have an angled deck guaranteed to roll all your crap out the back when the hatch is raised. Genius.

I was seriously considering a lx600 after the midcycle refresh..But an Overtrail is LX700h exclusive. So in order to get an Overtrail, you must live with those hideous 3rd row situation .It's a pass for me.

I guess they didn't get the feedback on the new Toyota Sequoia, or just choose to ignore it..

I mean the batteries need to go somewhere.

Until we are comfortable with solid state storage which is the next revolution chemical batteries just volumetrically take up a certain amount of space per joule of capacity. The only revolutions in this regard has been how to package them but the underlying chemical substrate hasn’t changed for decades.
