Does the mobility kit expand the trunk space in the 530/540?

hinckley · 02-25-2024, 04:02 PM

I test drove a 530 today and was generally impressed, but I was surprised by the small-ish rear seat leg room and trunk space for such a large car. I'm assuming that the packaging is compromised due to the car's need to play dual ICE/EV roles. So I was wondering if anyone has visually compared the trunk dimensions in a 530 or 540 with and without the spare. Is the trunk noticeably larger with the mobility kit? Pics?

Thanks for any help that anyone can provide.
