Comparison: Boot space Nissan X-Trail vs. competitors 2025

How much cargo can handle this medium SUV?

If you're the sort to lug around anything from the weekly family provisions to something as audacious as a mini fridge, the Nissan X-Trail's boot could be the cavernous nook you’re looking for. Since its first guise back in 2001, the X-Trail's kept its reputation as a trusty steed for anyone who prioritizes luggage space alongside a smooth ride to the in-laws. We must tip our hats to Nissan for consistently delivering on the expectations set by the very dimensions of the vehicle itself.

Nissan X-Trail - How has the boot space changed over the generations?

In the early 2000s, the first-generation X-Trail (T30) modestly offered 410 liters, and while the size was competitive for the era, life indeed had room for improvement. Fast forward to some reimagining and reshaping, the second-generation T31 shocked the picnic brigade with a palatial 603 liters before the facelift curiously shrank it back down to 479 liters—presumably, to give the folding chairs a bit more of a challenge. By the arrival of the T32 generation, Nissan seemed to have found a sweet spot with 550 liters, maintaining that size post-facelift. Enter the latest T33 model, and we're looking at a respectable 585 liters, although the rear seats folded space, dramatically reduced to 1424 liters, suggests that it might be pushing for the Marie Kondo effect on your travel trinkets.

The boot space compared to other Nissan models

Compared to its Nissan siblings, the X-Trail is the golden child of boot space, bearing more liters than the Juke, Leaf, and even the futuristic electric Ariya. The X-Trail's boot stands proudly at 585 liters, dwarfing the Micra's 300 liters like a giant petting a kitten. Yes, the Nissan Townstar EV and Kombi both look down from their 775-liter high-horse at the X-Trail, but those are in a different league altogether, aren't they?

How does the boot space of the Nissan X-Trail compare to it's nearest competitors?

When we throw the X-Trail into the feral pit of competitors, it's a mixed bag of triumphs and concessions. The SUV dwarfs the likes of the Subaru XV and Mercedes-Benz GLA by over 200 and 160 liters respectively. Even the somewhat comparable Hyundai ix35 and Chevrolet Captiva stand equal but suffer a mild defeat in the seats-folded arena. SUVs like Citroen's C5 Aircross stand toe-to-toe in the boot battle, and ambitious machines such as SEAT's Tarraco and the Swedish hulk Volvo XC90 pose real threats with their glaring boot superiority. The Nissan X-Trail may not reign supreme in every measure against its rivals, but it continues to hold its own admirably in the family-friendly SUV segment, tussling with the best of them.
