Quick answer

Among 81 sedans and coupes with a similar-sized cabin, the average is 10.3 cu ft, so the DB9 carries less than 89% of them. It gives 6% of its interior to luggage, one of the smallest shares we measure. A folded stroller will not fit alongside luggage.

What actually fits in a DB9

It has stayed at about 5 cu ft in every model year we hold, 2005 to 2016.
