Trunk dimensions BMW 5 Series Touring

The BMW 5 Series Touring 2024 offers a trunk with a volume of about 19.8 cu ft, which can be expanded up to 60 cu ft when the rear seats are folded down.

The rear bench is split in a 40:20:40 ratio, allowing flexibility for transporting luggage and passengers. The interior design is high-quality, featuring a flat loading floor and a low loading lip that makes loading easier.

The trunk dimensions vary slightly within the model range, but the shape remains consistently practical and functional. Typical features include the thoughtful layout and the ability to easily fold down the rear seats, making the BMW 5 Series Touring a versatile wagon.

Model Information

The BMW 5 Series Touring is the wagon variant of the 5 Series and combines sporty elegance with practical features. The latest series offers state-of-the-art technology, a comfortable interior, and a variety of engine options.

The combination of driving dynamics and everyday usability makes the 5 Series Touring a popular choice among premium wagons.

Variants of the Same Series

Within the 5 Series, there are several variants that differ in design and functionality. These include the sedan, the sporty M version, and the 5 Series Touring as a wagon.

The sedan is designed for sporty performance, while the Touring offers more space and flexibility. It is important not to confuse these variants, as they target different customer groups.

Model Year Differences

The current model changes for the BMW 5 Series Touring were made in 2017 with the introduction of the G30 series. These changes affected both the body dimensions and the trunk dimensions.

Previous models, such as the F11 series, had smaller trunk volumes and different dimensions, which impacted transport capabilities. Continuous development has improved the functionality of the 5 Series Touring.

Direct Competitors

Direct competitors of the BMW 5 Series Touring include models like the Audi A6 Avant and the Mercedes-Benz E-Class T-Model.

The Audi A6 Avant offers a trunk volume of about 20 cu ft, while the E-Class T-Models offer around 22.6 cu ft. These differences in trunk volume can be decisive for buyers who place special value on cargo space.

More Affordable Alternatives

More affordable alternatives with similar trunk dimensions include the Skoda Superb Combi and the Ford Mondeo Turnier. The Skoda Superb Combi offers a trunk volume of up to 23.3 cu ft, while the Ford Mondeo Turnier offers about 18.5 cu ft.

These models provide a good combination of price-performance ratio and cargo space, making them attractive options for buyers who do not necessarily want premium models.

Cargo space BMW 5 Series Touring

BMW 5 Series Touring trunk space volume — Trunk volume BMW 5 Series Touring

Trunk Volume

The trunk volume of the BMW 5 Series Touring 2024 is not clear-cut: Manufacturer specification: 20.1 cu ft, independent measurement: 15 cu ft. Roof-high with folded rear seats, BMW specifies 60 cu ft; independent measurements reach 53.3 cu ft.

Up to the window sill with folded rear seats, 29.8 cu ft was measured. In practice, this shows that the usable standard space is closer to the independent values, around 425–20.1 cu ft.

Relative values: The trunk is about 18.45% larger than that of an average car and makes up about 6.8% of the total vehicle volume. When the cargo cover is retracted, tests show that up to the roof edge around 23.8 cu ft fit (e.g., 13 beverage crates).

Vehicle Size and Parking Friendliness

Dimensions: 199.2 in long, 74.8 in wide, 59.8 in high. Compared to an average car, the 5 Series Touring is 19.7 in longer, 2 in wider, and 2 in lower. It is thus a true long-distance wagon format; in city centers and tight garages, the length is noticeable.

For parking: The vehicle is just over 5 meters long and thus about 2.4 in longer than a standard parking space, but around 23.6 in narrower than a typical parking space – lateral tolerances are therefore available, but the length can be problematic in tight parking garages.

The low height (59.8 in) helps in underground garages.

Trunk Usability and Flexibility

Positive:

Electric tailgate with optional foot swipe and comfort access ensures easy access; the opening is large and extends far upwards (head clearance only relevant from ~2 m). Loading lip: 26.4 in – not too high, loading floor is level.
Trunk largely smooth-surfaced, three-part rear seatbacks with release on the backrest and in the trunk allow flexible loading division.

Negative / Limitations:

The practical usable capacity is closer to the independent measurements (≈15 cu ft) — for a wagon over five meters long, this is relatively tight (comparison: Golf Variant 16.1 cu ft).
The cargo cover is not automatically retracted or extended when opening/closing the tailgate; it must be operated manually — a comfort loss in the premium segment.
The tailgate no longer has a separately opening rear window. Additionally, a catch hook of the lock protrudes and can be bothersome in everyday use or cause head injuries.
Folding down the rear seatbacks does not create a completely flat loading surface; folding back requires some force as the backrests are spring-loaded.

Practical consequences: For daily shopping, strollers, or suitcases, the volume is usually sufficient. For large shopping trips, vacations with full occupancy, or transporting long items, a combined consideration of space measurements, loading height, and payload is important.

General Model Information

Familiarity: The BMW 5 Series Touring is an established, representative mid-/upper-class wagon model and appeals to buyers seeking a premium, practical wagon.

Special features: Electric tailgate with foot gesture, large opening, three-part rear seatbacks, low loading lip (26.4 in), smooth loading floor.

Characteristics / Criticism: The loss of the separately opening rear window and the missing automatic extension/retraction of the cargo cover seem disproportionate savings at this price. The protruding catch hook is a daily negative point.

Price-performance: Positioned in the premium segment, the 5 Series Touring offers high-quality driving and interior qualities but shows compromises in practical trunk use and certain comfort features, which slightly reduce the ratio of price to everyday usability.

Competitor models: Mercedes E-Class T-Model, Audi A6 Avant, Volvo V90, Skoda Superb Combi (more affordable, sometimes more practical interior solutions).

Technical data relevant to everyday use: Curb weight 1910 kg, payload 585 kg — with four average adults (≈300 kg), about 285 kg remain for luggage.
