Comparison: Boot space VW ID.5 vs. competitors 2025

How much cargo can handle this ?

In the world of electric SUVs, the Volkswagen ID.5 makes a splash, boasting a whopping 549 liters of boot space. As an all-electric newcomer to the Volkswagen lineup, this cavernous trunk size promises enough room for luggage, shopping bags, and perhaps even a small hippopotamus, if you're inclined to do some exotic animal transporting. With the rear seats folded down, the trunk can accommodate up to 1,561 liters, ensuring that even more substantial loads can be comfortably stowed, should the need arise.

VW ID.5 - How has the boot space changed over the generations?

As the ID.5 is the first generation of its kind, there aren't previous boot space changes to compare. However, since it's an electric vehicle, it's worth mentioning that space management has been a focus in its design. By capitalizing on the EV architecture, the ID.5 cleverly avoids the storage limitations that often plague their combustion engine counterparts.

The boot space compared to other VW models

In the Volkswagen family, the ID.5 holds its own, boasting a trunk size that rivals its siblings. While it doesn't quite match the impressive Touareg (810 liters), the ID.5 outclasses the ID.4 (543 liters) and comes surprisingly close to the popular SUVs such as the Tiguan (615 liters). The ID.5 has certainly stepped up its game and carved out its own niche within the Volkswagen lineup.

How does the boot space of the VW ID.5 compare to it's nearest competitors?

When pitted against the competition, the ID.5 can hold its head high. While not quite in the same league as the Tesla Model Y (854 liters), this German sizzler puts the Audi Q4 e-tron (535 liters) and the Kia EV6 (490 liters) to shame. The ID.5 even out-trunks the sleek Lexus RZ (522 liters), making it a force to be reckoned with in the electric SUV segment. All in all, the Volkswagen ID.5 is the boot space heavyweight champion you never knew you needed - a roomy option in a market sardined with less impressive alternatives.
