Default Trunk dimensions - pls help

I'm looking to trade in my '06 GS300 to a '08 450h (facelift version) but would appreciate correct dimensions (width x height x depth) of the boot as if the stroller does not fit, I shall drop the idea. If someone may help me with this I would be greatful. Thanks

in the 2008 the stroller should fit, cause in My car I can fit a stroller but pretty its tight but it fits, they gained more room in the 2008 as they created more space in the trunk. I think its 8 Cubic ft. not sure about other measurements, just bring a stroller to the test drive if it doesnt fit at least you tested it in person.

Thanks, it seems I shall go and check, but the 450h is a mere three hours drive away, which means a total of 6 hours back and forth which I wished to skip if possible. The stroller is 56cm wide which is a tiny bit more than 22 inches (Stokke Xplory) but I am worried if the 450h has a trunk depth of at least 22-23 inches... Thanks anyway for the reply.

Maybe anyone out there using a Stokke Xplory stroller in a 450h?

did they change the trunk space in 2008? i thought it's 2010. in any case, it really depends on what stroller you got. our graco stroller, it barely fits in my gs350, so you can forget about 450h. but if you have one of those umbrella ones, 450h might be ok

Baby Jogger City Select barely fits into my non hybrid trunk (without disassembling anything at any rate). Graco Snugride 35 is a bit of a tight squeeze as it is (vertically) to get in and out of it's base in the back seat as well.

This car isn't very good for babies, I'd drop the idea of the hybrid one. Should have just bit the bullet and got an SUV those years ago, but I am committed to this car now. :P

We have a portable stroller and it fits.(not the cheap ones that simply has fabric between the 2 up right candy cane handles) This ones well made but about 20% smaller then the typical gracos. We got rid of our old large stroller because we hated that heavy bulky thing. Plus my daughter walks 70% of the time. Actually she likes pushing the stroller.

The 2012 will have full depth do to the new tiered battery design.

Just to let you know, maybe someone will find it useful: a Stokke Xplory stroller fits in the trunk of the '08 450h. Now I just have to set a good price... Thanks for the comments!
