Trunk comparison: BMW 5 Series Touring vs Jeep Avenger Electric

Key Differences Summarized

The BMW 5 Series Touring offers significantly more cargo space lengthwise: with the seats folded down, the trunk is 22 in (≈42%) longer and with the first row of seats upright, 16.5 in (≈63%) longer than the Jeep Avenger Electric.

The width at the narrowest point is 6.7 in (≈19%) greater in the BMW, making it easier to load wider items.

In contrast, the Jeep Avenger Electric scores in the vertical dimension: the height of the trunk opening is 3.5 in (≈13%) greater and the depth of the trunk (loading edge to trunk floor) is 4.3 in (≈1000%) higher, creating more usable vertical space.

What Are the Practical Implications of These Differences?

Due to the greater length and narrow-width reserve, the BMW 5 Series Touring is better suited for long or wide cargo (e.g., long furniture parts, skis, multiple large suitcases) and for situations where the rear seats are regularly folded down.

The additional width at the narrowest point reduces issues when loading bulky, flat items at an angle.

The Jeep Avenger Electric is advantageous when height matters: the taller trunk opening and significantly higher trunk floor provide more vertical space for tall items (e.g., tall boxes, plants, or bulky cartons) and make it easier to store stackable cargo.

However, the shorter length and narrow point of the cargo area limit the transport volume for long or wider objects.

For everyday use, this means: Those who frequently transport long, flat, or wide cargo or use the trunk flexibly with folded seats benefit more from the BMW 5 Series Touring. Those who often need to load tall or bulky but not very long items will find the Jeep Avenger Electric a more practical solution.
