Nissan splits with EVs from Ford, Rivian, Lucid and others foregoing the extra front trunk cargo space
The front trunk storage space, or frunk, is common on EVs because the motors usually aren't located under the hood. The units are much smaller than a gasoline engine and therefore are usually near the wheels they are powering. That leaves extra space for cargo. The Mach-E's the frunk measures 4.7 cubic feet. The Air gets an 7.1 cubic feet and the R1T is has 11 cubic feet.
"We were as deliberate as you can possibly be when planning the Lucid Air's frunk, to the degree that we fully intended to create a space that was best in class by a large degree. It's important to note that space utilization is a bit of a religion at this company," Derek Jenkins, Lucid's senior vice president of design and brand toldLucid obsessed over the entire vehicle aiming at class-leading storage space.
Ford has pictures from frunk-enthusiast message boards of people using the MPF on the F-150 Lightning. One owner used it and its power outlets as movie screen. A hunter stored his ducks in the 14.1-cubic-foot space after a day in the wild. Using it as a cooler is common withFord's frunk was originally prototyped in cardboard, while engineers and designers tried to understand the needs of its buyers.
