Trunk comparison: BMW X1 vs Peugeot 5008
Main Differences (highlighted: >10%)
The Peugeot 5008 offers a cargo space that is
with the seats folded down than the BMW X1, and even with the first row of seats upright, the Peugeot clearly leads with a
cargo area in front. Conversely, the BMW X1 has a trunk that is
than the Peugeot with the seats upright. The height of the Peugeot's trunk opening is
, and the narrowest point in the cargo space is
in the Peugeot. Additionally, the depth of the trunk (loading edge to trunk floor) is
in the BMW — note that 0.8 in is absolutely small, and the high percentage reflects a very small base value in the Peugeot.
Impact on Usability
Because the Peugeot offers significantly longer loading options with folded seats and with the front row upright, it is better suited for long items (e.g., slats, furniture parts, longer sports equipment) or when frequently switching between full seating and large cargo space. The greater width at the narrowest point and the higher opening make loading wide or tall items easier and reduce issues when maneuvering bulky cargo. The BMW X1, on the other hand, scores in everyday use with a significantly larger usable cargo space with all seats upright: this makes it more practical for transporting groceries, luggage, or bags when fully occupied. The 0.8 in greater depth between the loading edge and trunk floor is hardly noticeable, barely affecting usability, and the 0.8 in higher loading edge of the BMW (not >10%) is also only a minor practical difference.
Conclusion
In short: For regular transport of long or bulky items (with seats folded or changing seating arrangements), the Peugeot 5008 is more advantageous. For daily use with full occupancy and more usable trunk space with seats upright, the BMW X1 is more practical. Smaller differences (a few cm) have little impact in practice.
