Trunk comparison: BMW 5 Series Touring vs Nissan Rogue Sport

Key Differences (>10%)

The BMW 5 Series Touring offers a cargo length that is 9.8 in (15%) longer with the rear seats fully folded down and 8.7 in (25%) longer with the first row of seats upright compared to the Nissan Qashqai. The Qashqai has a trunk opening height that is 3.9 in (14%) larger.

The depth from the loading edge to the trunk floor is 2.4 in (500%) more pronounced in the Qashqai, and the loading edge is overall 4.3 in (17%) higher above the ground than in the BMW.

Smaller differences such as the narrower bottleneck in the Qashqai (+1.2 in in the BMW, 3%) or the slightly wider opening in the Qashqai (+2.4 in, 6%) are below the 10% threshold and thus less relevant.

Impact on Usability

The greater loading length of the BMW makes it noticeably more practical for long or flat items (skis, slats, furniture parts) as well as for continuous luggage because more cargo space is available lengthwise.

For frequent transport of long cargo or for users who often need to use the rear seat bench, the BMW is therefore the better choice.

The Nissan Qashqai offers more vertical space directly behind the loading edge due to the higher trunk opening and greater depth. This facilitates accommodating taller items, stackable boxes, or bulky, tall cargo.

However, the loading edge in the Qashqai is significantly higher above the ground, which makes lifting heavy loads more strenuous and reduces everyday practicality when regularly loading heavy items.

In summary: For longer, flat-lying, or bulky cargo, the BMW 5 Series Touring is more practical; for taller, voluminous pieces, the Qashqai offers more space but introduces ergonomic disadvantages when loading due to the higher loading edge.
