The Lexus LC has 5 cu ft of cargo space. In practice that is 0 checked suitcases, or 2 carry-ons, or about 4 supermarket bags. A folded pushchair will not fit alongside luggage. Against 176 cars with a similar-sized cabin it sits below the average of 13.5 cu ft.
What actually fits in a LC
Cubic feet are an abstraction — 5 cu ft means nothing until you load it. Here is the same number in things people actually load, 0 checked cases or 2 carry-ons for the Lexus LC, 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 | 0 | 27 × 21 × 14″ — 4.6 cu ft |
| Carry-on cases | 2 | 22 × 14 × 9″ — 1.6 cu ft |
| Supermarket bags | 4 | about 1 cu ft each |
| Golf bags | 0 | full set, about 5 cu ft |
| Folded pushchair | Does not fit | 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 Lexus LC gives 5.5% of its 91 cu ft to luggage. The share below is the honest way to compare an estate with a coupé of the same footprint, and among 176 cars with a cabin within eight cubic feet of the Lexus LC the boot averages 13.5 cu ft.
| Space | Volume | Share of total |
|---|---|---|
| Passenger cabin | 86 cu ft | |
| Cargo area | 5 cu ft | |
| Total interior | 91 cu ft |
Under 15% to luggage — the space went to passengers, not their bags.
Against cars with a similar cabin
Compared with 176 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 | 5 cu ft | 13.5 cu ft | -8.5 cu ft |
| In checked suitcases | 0 | 2 | -2 |
Cars with the same room
Closest matches by trunk volume — useful when the boot is the deciding factor and the badge is not. The Lexus LC sits at 5 cu ft, so these are the cars that carry the same load.
| Car | Trunk volume | vs Lexus LC | Checked suitcases | Measured |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mini Cooper Convertible | 0 cu ft | 0 | 2025 | |
| BMW i8 | 0 cu ft | 0 | 2020 | |
| Subaru BRZ | +1 cu ft | 1 | 2026 | |
| Ferrari Roma Spider | +1 cu ft | 1 | 2026 | |
| Toyota 86 | +2 cu ft | 1 | 2020 | |
| Maserati Grancabrio | +2 cu ft | 1 | 2026 |

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 — 0 checked cases for the Lexus LC come out of its 5 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 Lexus LC counts as 4 cu ft of usable space rather than 5. Suitcase sizes are the airline standards — 22 × 14 × 9″ for carry-on, 27 × 21 × 14″ for checked, so the Lexus LC takes 2 of the small ones. Numbers are deliberately conservative; if we say four cases fit, four cases fit.

Compared with 176 cars of a similar cabin size, it is below the average of 13.5 cu ft.
