Comparison: Boot space BMW XM vs. competitors 2025

How much cargo can handle this ?

If you're looking for a car with ferocious performance and the ability to swallow seemingly impossible amounts of luggage, say hello to the BMW XM. This high-performance SUV boasts a boot space of 527 liters, which only grows to an astonishing 1820 liters when you fold down the rear seats. What a machine! But how does it compare to its numerous siblings, relatives and dreaded rivals?

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

A quick glance into the glorious past of BMW XM's ancestors reveals that the current generation is where the magic lies. As a newcomer in the competitive SUV market, BMW has intelligently chosen to play the card of its lone generational entry with excess cargo capacity. The lineage is rock-solid from the get-go, and future generations are expected to follow in its massive footsteps.

The boot space compared to other BMW models

Within the BMW family, the XM stands tall among its brethren. Putting it up against other models such as the BMW X6, which offers 580 liters of boot space, still leaves the XM 53 liters ahead in the cargo Olympics. The XM's superiority is further cemented when compared to the mid-size BMW X3 with its 550 liters of boot space, and completely manhandles the likes of the smaller BMW X1 and its 540 liters. In short, the BMW XM is the one to beat within the Beamer flock.

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

Now let's unleash the heavyweight rivals and see how it goes. With the likes of the Mercedes-Benz GLE at 630 liters and the properly capacious Land Rover Range Rover with its 818 liters, the BMW XM faces some stiff competition. Surrounded by giants like the ALPINA XB7 with 750 liters and the ever-mighty Bentley Bentayga offering 484 liters, our beloved XM sits right in the middle. Like an incredibly powerful yet practical jack of all trades, it charts its own territory, neither sacrificing capacity nor hauling capability.
