the 2010 is roomier in height - I can’t fit my 30” suitcases standing in the side on a the 2017 like I could on the he 2010. Otherwise, I think the 2010 trunk was slightly deeper, but the 2017 looks to be slightly wider.

Wow it fits on the sides too. I would have thought the shape would change,but it does look like the 3RX mat is too long for the 4RX.

My 3RX has a nice trunk characteristic: It seems like I can always close the lift gate doesn't matter how bulky my coolers + other stuffs are. I was thinking "no, it won't fit, no way", and the lift gate can close nicely. Maybe that will not be the case for the 4RX

Can someone with a ruler and good mathamatic ability go out to the 2016 RX and do a measurement and calculate the cubic foot space from floor to roof and tailgate to back of rear seat? Id do it but still waiting on my special order to arrive.
This will clear up any confusion.

It is a 2016 Mitsubishi Outlander. If you have tall suitcase or box near the the end of the RX, the slopped rear window simply prevents the door from closing. I get it those tall stuff may block the rear view, but sometimes we just do what we have to do. Plus, I may arrange the tall suitcases to the side of the cargo, so I can still have some rear view. But with RX, this is not even an option.

Couple months back, had to drive family to the airport using my father’s RX. Four passengers meant that all the luggage needed to be in the cargo area. We loaded it all in (with back seats adjusted to rearmost position) and was worried we would need to drive a second car since the hatch couldn’t close. Then I went around and moved the seats up, pushed the luggage in, and all of the luggage fit with some room to spare.

Was this with or without the rear seats moved up. As you know, the RX has tons of rear legroom which feels much more than the competition without sliding rear seats. Sliding the seats forward actually gives quite a bit of additional cargo room.

The rear seats in Outlander is slideable too.

A year or so ago, when I had a 2013 rx450h I took a tape measure and measured the distance on the cargo floor to the rear opening. The Gen 4 loaner that I had was actually either 2 or 4 inches longer. I do not remember which anymore. Before measuring I made sure that the rear seats were back and upright.
