The Buick Envision has 25 cu ft of cargo space. In practice that is 4 checked suitcases, or 12 carry-ons, or about 20 supermarket bags. A folded pushchair fits. Against 286 cars with a similar-sized cabin it sits above the average of 17.4 cu ft.
What actually fits in a Envision
Cubic feet are an abstraction — 25 cu ft means nothing until you load it. Here is the same number in things people actually load, 4 checked cases or 12 carry-ons for the Buick Envision, with a packing allowance — a boot is not a cube, and corners go to waste.
| What you are loading | How many fit | Each item |
|---|---|---|
| Checked suitcases | 4 | 27 × 21 × 14″ — 4.6 cu ft |
| Carry-on cases | 12 | 22 × 14 × 9″ — 1.6 cu ft |
| Supermarket bags | 20 | about 1 cu ft each |
| Golf bags | 4 | full set, about 5 cu ft |
| Folded pushchair | Fits | about 6 cu ft |
Counts assume 80% usable volume: luggage does not tessellate, and a wheel arch eats the rest.
Cabin or boot — where the space went
Every car is a fixed envelope, and designers decide how to split it between people and things — the Buick Envision gives 20% of its 125 cu ft to luggage. The share below is the honest way to compare an estate with a coupé of the same footprint, and among 286 cars with a cabin within eight cubic feet of the Buick Envision the boot averages 17.4 cu ft.
| Space | Volume | Share of total |
|---|---|---|
| Passenger cabin | 100 cu ft | |
| Cargo area | 25 cu ft | |
| Total interior | 125 cu ft |
A typical split for a family car: room for people first, luggage second.
Against cars with a similar cabin
Compared with 286 models whose passenger space is within eight cubic feet — a fairer group than marketing classes, which put an estate and a coupé in the same bracket.
| Measure | This car | Similar cars | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cargo volume | 25 cu ft | 17.4 cu ft | +7.6 cu ft |
| In checked suitcases | 4 | 3 | +1 |
Cars with the same room
Closest matches by trunk volume — useful when the boot is the deciding factor and the badge is not. The Buick Envision sits at 25 cu ft, so these are the cars that carry the same load.
| Car | Trunk volume | vs Buick Envision | Checked suitcases | Measured |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dodge Charger | 0 cu ft | 4 | 2026 | |
| Chevrolet Trax | 0 cu ft | 4 | 2026 | |
| Volvo XC40 | 0 cu ft | 4 | 2022 | |
| Audi A4 allroad | -1 cu ft | 4 | 2025 | |
| Acura ADX | -1 cu ft | 4 | 2026 | |
| Ford C-Max | -1 cu ft | 4 | 2018 |

How we count
Cargo and passenger volumes come from EPA interior-volume records — the same figures manufacturers file for the window sticker, measured to a standard method rather than claimed in a brochure.
The luggage counts are ours — 4 checked cases for the Buick Envision come out of its 25 cu ft. We assume 80% usable volume, because a boot is not a cube: wheel arches, a sloping tailgate and the shape of the cases themselves waste the rest, which is why the Buick Envision counts as 20 cu ft of usable space rather than 25. Suitcase sizes are the airline standards — 22 × 14 × 9″ for carry-on, 27 × 21 × 14″ for checked, so the Buick Envision takes 12 of the small ones. Numbers are deliberately conservative; if we say four cases fit, four cases fit.
