BMW X5 - How has the boot space changed over the generations?
Ladies and gentlefolk, gather around as we dissect the case of the capacious conundrum known as the BMW X5's boot space. It's as if the Bavarian marque has harnessed the spatial capabilities of a TARDIS, because, believe me, this car has room to spare. Reigning supreme over many a rival's boot like a Germanic King Arthur over his knights, the X5 ensures that your luggage for those heroic road-trip quests is stowed securely and spaciously.

How does the boot space of the BMW X5 compare to it's nearest competitors?
But was it always such a paragon of roominess? Well, strap yourselves in as we journey through time. The first generation, the X5 E53, introduced us with a modest 465 liters. Cue the E70, vaulting that figure up to 620 liters—ah, now we're packing! Post facelift, still 620 liters. Then the F15 laughed in the face of former iterations, boasting 650 liters which the latest G05 and its post-facelift cousin merrily inherit. Much like a fine wine, the X5's boot space has matured beautifully over the generations.
