Trunk comparison: BMW 3 Series Touring vs Dacia Jogger
Key Differences
The Dacia Jogger offers several significantly larger dimensions in the trunk compared to the BMW 3 Series Touring: the usable trunk length with the first row of seats upright is +6.3 in (16%) longer, the height of the trunk opening is +7.9 in (28%) greater, the depth from the loading edge to the trunk floor is +2.8 in (700%), and the narrowest interior width is +10.2 in (27%) wider.
Smaller differences, not highlighted, include +1.6 in (2%) more length with folded seats, +1.2 in (3%) larger opening width, and a +2.4 in (10%) higher loading edge above the road.
Impact on Usability
The +6.3 in longer loading surface with the seats upright makes the Jogger more practical for longer items to be transported without folding down the rear seats (e.g., skis, long boxes, construction lumber).
The significantly higher trunk opening (+7.9 in) makes it easier to load tall or bulky items because less installation height is lost and there is more headroom when loading.
The greatly increased depth from the loading edge to the floor (+2.8 in / 700%) means more vertical volume in the trunk: items can be stored or stacked deeper and thus often more stably, which increases the usable cargo capacity especially for bulky, not too heavy loads.
However, combined with the +2.4 in higher loading edge (not >10%), there is a trade-off: lifting heavy items into the Jogger can be somewhat more strenuous than with the lower loading lip of the BMW.
The larger narrow interior width (+10.2 in) allows loading wider items and simplifies storing bulky packages, strollers, or furniture parts that would not fit as easily in the BMW due to the narrower spot.
The few small differences (e.g., only +2% with folded seats) show that with fully folded cargo volume both vehicles are closer together.
Conclusion: For users who frequently want to transport tall, wide, or long items, especially without folding seats, the Dacia Jogger offers clear advantages. If maximum length with folded seats or lower loading edge handling is more important, the BMW 3 Series Touring remains competitive.
