Trunk comparison: BMW 5 Series Touring vs Dacia Jogger

Key Differences

When comparing the trunk dimensions, three clear advantages of the Dacia Jogger stand out: the height of the trunk opening is 8.7 in (31%) higher, the depth between the loading edge and the trunk floor is 3.1 in (700%) larger, and the width at the narrowest point of the trunk is 5.5 in (13%) wider.

These differences are well above the 10% mark and significantly influence the practical usability of the vehicles.

Impact on Usability

The significantly higher trunk opening of the Jogger makes loading and unloading tall or bulky items (e.g., furniture, large boxes, or bulky sports equipment) easier because more vertical clearance is available.

The greater depth between the loading edge and floor creates more usable space directly behind the loading edge, improving the loading of tall stacks or transporting bulky goods without gaps in the floor area.

The wider narrow width means that wide items need to be tilted or turned sideways less often to fit through tight spots.

The smaller differences in favor of the BMW (e.g., 4.3 in longer loading floor with folded seats, +6% or 1.2 in wider trunk opening) are below the 10% threshold and have less practical impact: The BMW offers a slightly longer usable loading area for very long, flat items when the seats are folded down, while the loading edge height is the same in both models, so the physical effort when lifting remains similar.

Brief Summary

For frequent loading of tall, bulky, or wide items, the Dacia Jogger is more practical due to the significantly higher opening, greater depth, and wider narrow width.

For occasional transport of very long, flat loads, the BMW 5 Series Touring may be slightly better suited because of the somewhat longer loading length with folded seats.
