BMW x1 Trunk Dimensions

If you’re in the market for a luxury crossover SUV, then your search should start (and probably end) with the BMW X1. In the USA, the BMW X1 is available in nine colors but only one exterior trim option, though there are several X-series models to choose from. So, in terms of trunk space, you only get one size.

The internal dimensions of the BMW X1’s trunk are 34.5 inches long, 42.5 inches wide, and 29 inches tall. The volume of the X1’s trunk is between 27.1 and 58.7 cubic feet, depending on the position of the rear seats.

If you’d like to learn more about the BMW X1’s trunk and how it compares to other X-series models, you’ve come to the right place. Below, I’ll go into greater detail regarding the BMW X1’s trunk and why this crossover SUV is a great option for your inner adventurer.

A Quick Overview of the BMW X1

The world was first introduced to the world at the 2008 Paris Motor Show as the smallest SUV in BMW’s X-series lineup. It was almost identical to the X3 at the time, but due to increasing fuel costs, BMW started to design a compact SUV with greater mileage and a lower price tag. For the first three years, the X1 was only available in the European market.

In 2016, one year after production began of the second generation of X1s, BMW redesigned the car as a compact crossover. Despite its smaller size compared to other X-series models, the X1 has become somewhat of a favorite among families in the market for a spacious SUV with plenty of passenger and cargo space.

How Much Cargo Space Do I Need?

There are two main figures to look for when determining how much cargo space you need—what you plan to use the car for and how many people you travel with. To put it simply, the more traveling and shopping you do, the more cargo space you will need to transport your belongings or purchases.

The BMW X1, as a luxury crossover SUV, prioritizes comfort over everything else, as is evidenced by the spacious leg, shoulder, and head rooms. Also, you must remember that the 58.7 cubic-foot rating for maximum cargo space is only after you’ve lowered the back seats. When they’re raised, the cargo space is reduced by around 46% to only 27.1 cubic feet.

Also, it’s important to note that the cargo ratings of any vehicle, including the BMW X1, may be misleading. While it’s true that this car has between 27.1 and 58.7 cubic feet of cargo space, this is only assuming you pack the footwells with travel supplies and grocery bags, including the footwell in both the front seats.

In addition, the shape and design of the trunk will play a significant role in determining how much you can actually place in the BMW X1. There may be tiny pockets on the sides that are used for holding plastic bags and not much else, even though it will be included in the overall cargo rating.

One way to get a more accurate reading of how much total cargo space is in any car is by subtracting about 15% from the car’s cargo specs. So, in the BMW X1’s case, its “true” cargo space would be between 23.035 and 49.895 cubic feet, give or take a few cubic inches.

If you’re looking for an SUV that offers more cargo space than the BMW X1 at a lower cost, you should consider checking out the 2022 Subaru Outback.
