Trunk comparison: BMW X4 vs VW Tiguan Allspace
Key Differences
Three differences stand out from the data: The BMW X4 offers significantly more cargo length with seats up than the Tiguan Allspace (
), the trunk depth in the BMW X4 measured from the loading edge to the trunk floor is significantly greater (
), and the trunk opening of the VW Tiguan Allspace is noticeably wider than that of the X4 (
). Smaller differences (each around 10% or less) concern the length with folded seats, the opening height, and the loading edge height and are not highlighted here. The narrowest width in the trunk is the same for both models.
Impact on Usability
Because the BMW X4 offers significantly more cargo length with seats up, it is better suited for everyday use when frequently transporting luggage or bulky items without folding down the rear seats (e.g., suitcases, shopping, equipment). The greater depth between the loading edge and trunk floor in the X4 means more usable interior depth directly behind the loading edge — this makes it easier to store longer or taller items in the footwell of the cargo area and often allows for neater stacking. The wider trunk opening of the Tiguan Allspace makes loading especially wide items (e.g., furniture parts, wide boxes) easier and protects corners and edges during loading. Additionally, folding down large items when accessing through the opening is often less fiddly. In practice, this means: For users who frequently need a lot of cargo volume with rear seats up or prefer deeper, well-usable cargo space, the BMW X4 is advantageous. Those who more often need to load wide parts through the rear opening benefit from the Tiguan Allspace. Smaller differences like loading edge height and opening height have little impact on daily handling.
