In China’s cutthroat automotive environment, automakers continuously find ways to differentiate their vehicles on top of competitive pricing. One of which is to offer more space than ever before with a front trunk (frunk) that Tesla made it a staple across vehicle lineup.

Of the largest available frunks in China, all five are from electric vehicles that were launched in 2025; a testament of how competitive the market is. Given that fully electric vehicle models do not have to account for a gas engine, front storage are made possible.

Frunks are particularly important for large three rows, six-seat SUVs, which have limited cargo space to fit the last passenger row. So which are the top 5 largest frunks? Spoiler alert, Tesla did not make it to the list.

5 - Huawei-backed AITO M8 EV Edition

Huawei-backed AITO has initiated pre-sales of its all-electric variant of the SUV M8, which was previously available only as an extended-range model, starting on April 16, 2025, for 359,800 yuan.

The all-electric version is set to join its EREV sibling with a price tag of 378,000 yuan, which is 18,200 yuan more expensive. According to the company, one of its main selling points will be an extra-large frunk, measuring 149 liters.

Combined with the 392-liter rear cargo space, the AITO M8 offers a total of 541-liter of frunk and trunk storage space.

By comparison, the newest Tesla Model Y L offers a 116-liter frunk and a 420-liter trunk, for a total of 536 liters of space.

4 - Deepal S05

Unlike most EVs in this list, the Deepal S05 is a compact SUV, making its 159 liter frunk all the more impressive. The SUV measures 4,620 mm in length, 1,900 mm in width, and 1,600 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2,880 mm.

It is even more compact than a Tesla Model Y, which measures 4,797 mm in length, 1,920 mm in width, and 1,624 mm in height, with a 2,890 mm wheelbase. Despite this, the S05 boasts a larger frunk compared to the Model Y's 117L front cargo space.

The S05 is priced between 119,900 to 149,900 yuan and is positioned to compete with the Geely Galaxy E5.

Similar to the AITO M8, the Deepal S05 is available in both EREV and EV versions. However, the cargo space in the EV model is far superior, featuring a 651-liter trunk compared to a 464-liter trunk in the EREV model, without even taking into account its massive frunk.

3 - BYD Han L / Tang L

On March 17, BYD introduced megawatt flash charging with both the Han L and Tang L, larger versions of the original Han sedan and Tang SUV.

In other words, the two BYD models can reach charging power of up to 1,000 kW, far superior than the 200-400 kW industry standard, bringing charging times comparable to refuelling a gasoline car.

With such technological leap, it is only normal that other banner features were overlooked, including the massive 160-liter frunks on both vehicles.

BYD Han L is also the only sedan model in this frunk ranking, but as the Large version of the original Han, the sedan measures over 5-meter long, with dimensions that make such front storage possible.

2 - NIO ES8 (3rd gen)

NIO unveiled the 3rd generation ES8 on August 21 at a starting price of 416,800 yuan with the standard 102 kWh battery or 308,800 yuan with BaaS (battery-as-a-service).

That starting price represents a significant drop over the N2.0 version of the SUV, which started at 498,000 yuan with a smaller 75 kWh battery.

The ES8 will officially launch on NIO Day 2025, to be held in Hangzhou in late September. One of its major highlights is its massive 230-liter frunk, which falls short by only 10 liters from the number 1 car on this list.

1 - Onvo L90

The largest frunk belongs to NIO’s own sub-brand Onvo’s L90, which offers 240-liter of front storage space.

Onvo made it clear that the front compartment is core to its positioning for Chinese families, enabling family members to sit in the frunk covered by the hood, creating a covered space for activities like fishing.

Onvo has also set up L90 display booths at Costco supermarkets to let families load their purchased groceries into the frunk to let potential buyers experience its convenience.

CEO William Li even made a supermarket appearance with his wife to showcase the SUV’s frunk storage space.
