Trunk comparison: BMW iX1 vs Peugeot 5008

Key Differences

Peugeot 5008: with seats folded down, +10.2 in (16%) longer cargo space, making the 5008 better suited for very long loads with seats folded. With the first row of seats upright, the Peugeot has +5.9 in (17%) more cargo length than the BMW.

BMW iX1: with all seats upright, +22 in (165%) longer cargo space compared to the Peugeot — significantly more usable trunk space for everyday use with passengers.

The trunk opening of the Peugeot is +3.1 in (11%) higher and the narrowest interior width is +5.9 in (15%) larger on the Peugeot, which makes loading wide or tall items easier. The depth (loading edge → trunk floor) is +0.4 in (100%) greater on the BMW, although this absolute difference is very small.

Impact on Usability

If maximizing length with folded seats is important (e.g., furniture, long cargo), the Peugeot is clearly advantageous. The higher opening and larger narrowest width make storing bulky, wide, or tall items easier.

If frequent transport with passengers is required (i.e., seats upright), the BMW iX1 offers significantly more usable cargo space and thus more luggage capacity for everyday use.

Small differences like the slightly higher loading edge of the BMW (+1.2 in / 4%) or the +1.6 in (4%) wider opening of the Peugeot are hardly relevant in practice; the +0.4 in depth on the BMW is negligible despite the high percentage.
