Sfrunk

A sfrunk is a term used to describe a front trunk, or "trunk" located in the front of a vehicle. This storage compartment is commonly found in electric vehicles (EVs) and some hybrid vehicles, although it can also appear in certain internal combustion engine cars. The name "sfrunk" is a portmanteau of "storage" and "trunk."

The inclusion of a sfrunk is often made possible by the packaging of the vehicle's powertrain. In EVs, the electric motor and other components are typically located beneath the vehicle or in the rear, leaving the front space free for storage. This contrasts with many traditional gasoline-powered cars, where the engine occupies the entire front space, making a front trunk impractical.

Sfrunks vary in size and functionality. Some are designed to be spacious enough for groceries or luggage, while others are smaller compartments suitable for charging cables, emergency kits, or other small items. The accessibility of sfrunks can also differ; some open with a button or lever inside the cabin, while others may require a key fob or app. The presence of a sfrunk can be a significant advantage for drivers seeking additional cargo capacity, especially in vehicles where the rear trunk space might be compromised by battery packs or other automotive systems.
