sure seems like cargo space will be limited.
a great place to start with figuring out what exactly what we have to work with will be finding out the trunk dimensions. If they don't include a spare tire, it will free up a good amount of space

 

I would think that the Q30 would be using run flat tires and a tire pressure monitor system instead of carrying extra weight from the spare tire. Just thinking green.

Hybrids usually go this route so I don't think the Q30 should be any different.

 

In another angle I saw, the trunk is actually pretty deep. And one thing on a compact that you can't leave out is the rear folding seats which I am almost a hundred percent that the Q30 would have it. That would solve the problem.. when you dont have passengers of course.

 

trunks space is a big part of the game but not seeing enough and not knowing the exact dimensions could have us speculating the worst. I just wish there were physical numbers we can work with.

folding seats would be a big plus.

 

exactly.

folding seats i think will happen, they have no reason not to. with the Q30 having a hatch-like rear it's almost guaranteed it will have folding seats.

an extended wheel base model would also be something to consider for more space

 

Folding seats is a must for the Q30, I would be a shame if they ever left that feature out. even with the bulge in the rear I would say there isn't enough space.

 

They better because there is no other way to make room for storage. The glass roof takes out the option for a roof rack to mount top boxes for more storage capacity.

 

Well then, so you would either have to have another vehicle with a reasonable amount of space to carry and transport things or just buy a hitch/receiver and tow a trailer : )

 

We're also looking at a concept here. Its very possible the production version of Q30 alters some of the rakishness the roof has. Whats also possible is something similar to the 2 Series GT where a compartment is hidden under the floorboard in the trunk..

 

I have faith that the Q30 in having a decent amount of space. And if what you say is true about the hidden compartment that would be a bonus.
