This is the second part of a detailed look at the design the new XPENG L03. Before reading this, I recommend reading Part 1.
There has been a lot of discussion about rear cargo space. By the standard of liquid volume up to the top of the rear seat back, the L03 has 539l of cargo space. By cubic measurement up to the top of the rear seatback, which is a German standard, it has 367l of cargo volume. Tesla measures their cargo area in liquid volume up to the roof, which is not a standard measurement, so that makes it difficult to compare based on spec sheets. I can confidently say that the L03 has more room behind the rear seats than a Model YL has behind its third row and has less than the standard Model Y has behind its second row, although the exact amount is hard to say without an apples-to-apples measurement. At 0.9 m (35.4”) from the rear hatch to the second-row seatbacks, the L03’s rear cargo space is long enough to carry full-sized suitcases lengthwise. That is likely more than enough for many drivers. Rather than fixating on the different volume measurements online, I recommend people go to a showroom and take a look in real life to see if the amount of cargo space is enough for their needs.
