Trunk comparison: BMW X2 vs Seat Tarraco

Key Differences (>10%)

The SEAT Tarraco offers a 8.3 in (13%) longer cargo area with the seats folded down compared to the BMW X2. With the first row of seats upright, the Tarraco is even 7.5 in (20%) longer.

The trunk opening of the Tarraco is 6.7 in (26%) higher, and the opening width is 6.3 in (16%) larger than that of the BMW X2. In contrast, the BMW X2 has a 1.2 in (50%) greater depth between the loading edge and the trunk floor.

Impact on Usability

The longer cargo areas of the Tarraco – both with folded seats and with the first row upright – make it significantly more practical for long items (e.g., slats, skis, furniture parts) and increase usable volume in everyday use when multiple passengers are seated.

The considerably higher trunk opening makes loading tall or bulky items easier because less tilting or turning is required. The larger opening width helps when loading wide items like furniture boards or bulky luggage.

The greater depth in the BMW X2 means the load floor sits lower relative to the loading edge – this creates a lower cargo area where items can be pushed further in and the load is somewhat better guided or concealed.

However, this depth combined with a relatively high loading edge can make lifting very heavy items more difficult (the X2's loading edge height is only slightly higher, not >10%, but it affects handling).

In short: Those who regularly transport long, tall, or wide loads will find the SEAT Tarraco the more practical solution.

Those who prefer a lower load floor for better stowing of smaller items or a somewhat more concealed cargo area can benefit from the BMW X2 but must accept limitations in length, opening height, and opening width.
