Comparison: Boot space BMW X2 vs. competitors 2025

BMW X2 - How has the boot space changed over the generations?

Since its introduction, the X2 has kept gearheads and shopaholics equally content - or discontent, depending on their capacity needs. The first generation X2 F39 (2018-2023) boasts a boot with 470 liters of cargo space, or enough to hold a family's worth of luggage for those trips to the Côte d'Azur, expanding to 1355 liters when you fold down the rear seats for when you quite literally need to move house. The latest generation, the X2 U10 (2024-present), sees this increase to a more capacious 515 liters, enabling you to stash away an additional 45 liters of shopping spree spoils or ski trip equipment, with the total cargo space reaching 1400 liters with the rear bench knocked down. It's like they've done a Mary Poppins, only with the boot!

Variants

The boot space compared to other BMW models

Among the illustrious BMW lineup, the X2 stands out with a boot that's more practical than some of its sportier siblings. Take for instance the Z4 Roadster, both in its regular and M Performance attire, gallivanting around with a mere 281 liters of boot space. Pity the road trip-loving petrolhead who also has a penchant for golf. Similarly, the BMW 2 Series Cabrio and its M Performance version are limited to 335 liters, while the swanky BMW 8 Series Cabrio models manage a slightly better 350 liters. Nonetheless, these numbers make the X2 look like a sumo wrestler in a room full of ballet dancers. Even the larger sedans like the 3 Series Limousine (480 liters) and the electric iX1 (490 liters) are outclassed by the X2's latest configuration. Clearly, when it comes to hauling capabilities, the X2 owns a significant edge in the BMW family tree, excluding the Behemoth class of X5, X6, and X7, of course.

How does the boot space of the BMW X2 compare to it's nearest competitors?

In the ultimate mashup of boot space brawling, how does our jaunty X2 weigh in against the competition? Well, it cruises past the Dacia Spring's 290 liters and the Mercedes-Benz G-Klasse's quaint 250 liters with unruffled disdain. Against the Toyota Yaris Cross (397 liters) and even the electric Ford Mustang Mach-E (402 liters), the X2 demonstrates a cool superiority. However, it meets its match with the Audi Q8 e-tron (569 liters), and the Lexus RZ (522 liters) edges it out by a mere 7 liters. The Genesis GV80 (735 liters) plays in a different league of opulence, dwarfing our protagonist, while the likes of the NIO EL7 (570 liters) and Maserati Grecale (535 liters) offer a tinge more room. Nevertheless, the BMW X2 not only holds its own in the luxury compact segment but often comes out as the more pragmatic choice when it's time to pack up and hit the road.
