The G90 does this run well, and with room to spare in all but one respect. Load two checked bags plus a carry-on for yourself and a passenger, though, and you'll want a plan. The trunk on the standard 3.5T trim holds 12.0 cubic feet, and a full-size spinner and a carry-on will together claim about 8 of those cubes without careful staging.
Short answer: yes, it fits. Here's exactly how.

BNA sits 8 miles from downtown Nashville. The run from the executive corridor in Brentwood to the terminal via I-65 takes roughly 18 minutes under normal traffic, and the G90's adaptive suspension handles that freeway pace with real composure. Whether the G90 suits the run was never in doubt; whether you've packed it correctly is the part worth planning.
Will the G90's Trunk Actually Handle Airport Luggage?
Yes, with the right load order, though the exact margin depends on trim. Genesis lists 12.0 cubic feet on the 3.5T AWD, while the 3.5T E-SC AWD (the mild-hybrid twincharger variant) gives up roughly 1.5 cubic feet to the 48-volt battery placement and lands at approximately 10.5 cubic feet. That gap matters when you're fitting the bags you actually own.
Be honest with yourself about the tradeoff. The G90's trunk runs smaller than a 207.7-inch overall length suggests, because the sedan silhouette optimizes rear-seat volume and cabin height over cargo depth. Plan your bag list before you commit to the curb.
| Item or Load | Key Dimension / Weight | Fits in the G90 Trunk? |
|---|---|---|
| Full-size checked spinner (28-30 in.) | ~28 x 19 x 12 in., ~45 lb | Yes (lays flat, trunk-width accommodates it) |
| Second full-size spinner (28 in.) | ~28 x 19 x 12 in. | Yes (stands upright beside the first if laid at an angle) |
| Standard carry-on roller (22 x 14 x 9 in.) | ~22 x 14 x 9 in. | Yes (slots into remaining space above the flat spinner) |
| Overhead-bin backpack / personal item | ~18 x 14 x 8 in. | Yes (stacks on carry-on or rides in the footwell) |
| Second passenger's full set (2 checked + 1 carry-on) | Combined ~3 bags | Yes on 3.5T (12 cu ft); tight on E-SC (10.5 cu ft) (see loading note below) |
| Golf bag (full-length) | ~50 in. | No (trunk opening and depth do not accommodate it upright or flat) |
| Large ski bag | ~72 in. | No (this is the GV80's job) |
Genesis lists rear legroom at 37.8 inches and rear headroom at 38.0 inches, so a 6-foot passenger in the right rear seat has room to spare. Acoustic double-layer glass in the windshield and front side windows, standard across all trims, keeps the cabin genuinely quiet at interstate speeds. Stage bags at the curb on a Tennessee August afternoon and you'll feel the heat soak before the A/C catches up. The rear sunshades and ventilated seats are the parts of the G90 that earn their keep in that moment. They pay off well before the cabin cools.
Staging the Load: How to Fit Two Passengers and Full Airport Luggage
Staging order matters more than trunk size on this run, and a disorganized load wastes space that a thoughtful one recaptures. Work the sequence below and two full sets of luggage go in without a fight. Skip it and you'll be repacking at the curb while the pickup lane fills behind you.
The G90's power trunk lid closes gently with minimal effort on any bag arrangement, which means there's no door-slamming penalty for a slightly high load. Keep that in mind as you work the stack.
Numbered loading sequence for two passengers, two full-size checked bags, and two carry-ons:
- Lay the larger checked spinner flat first. Place it wheels-up across the full trunk width. This creates your base layer and uses the trunk's longest dimension without fighting the trunk opening's height.
- Stand the second spinner on its wheels beside the first. Orient it with the handle retracted and the zipper side facing inward. Most 28-inch spinners clear the trunk lip when loaded this way.
- Slide the carry-on roller into the gap. It slots between the standing spinner and the rear of the trunk. On the 3.5T (12 cu ft), you still have a shallow shelf above this stack.
- Stack the second carry-on or personal item above the carry-on roller. Keep it centered and low so the power trunk lid closes cleanly.
- Reserve the rear footwell for anything fragile or needed immediately. A laptop bag, a garment bag folder, or a duty-free purchase rides cleaner at a passenger's feet than stacked on top of hard-shell luggage.
- Activate the rear sunshades. Standard on all G90 trims. They cut glare for a passenger who's been on a plane for three hours and has no interest in squinting through Tennessee August sun.
The right-side rear passenger on the G90 can recline the seat and extend the leg support, which is a detail worth mentioning if you're picking up a guest from a red-eye. It works like a proper rest position, not a token gesture.
What We Observe on the Lot: The E-SC Trunk Tradeoff
We flag this one because it comes up whenever someone is configuring a G90, and it's worth naming before you sign. The 3.5T E-SC AWD adds the electric supercharger and 48-volt mild-hybrid system that brings output to 409 horsepower and 405 lb-ft of torque. It also reduces trunk volume from 12.0 to approximately 10.5 cubic feet because of the battery's placement behind the rear seat.
For context on where this lands, two full-size spinners at a typical 28 x 19 x 12-inch footprint occupy roughly 7.7 cubic feet combined, the carry-on adds another 1.8 cubic feet, and the 3.5T's 12 cubic feet accommodates that with margin. The E-SC's 10.5 requires you to compress or substitute one bag.
Is this a dealbreaker on the G90 for airport duty? Not at all. Name that one limit plainly and you can pack right around it.
Job Done: The G90 Is the Right Call for Most BNA Runs
The G90 handles the standard Nashville executive airport run without drama, and that run is really just the sedan load of one or two passengers, one or two checked bags each, carry-ons, and a laptop, all matched to a corridor the car was built for. The 8-mile corridor from BNA to downtown and the 13-mile I-65 run to Brentwood match the G90's highway composure. Those two routes are mostly freeway, BNA's single-terminal layout makes pickup and loading predictable, and the power soft-closing doors on all four access points mean your passenger exits a flight and steps into a quiet, composed cabin without doing anything. The car asks nothing of the person in back.
The G90 isn't the right call for large group loads, ski gear, or anything requiring SUV cargo depth, and for that the GV80 makes the call. For everything else, the G90 handles it without fuss. Most days, without a second thought.
