Luggage Compartment

50 Luggage compartment

The omission of the spare wheel, which was previously housed near the bulkhead, and the new bulkhead cross member in the body-in-white have facilitated a redesign of the luggage compartment.

As a result the luggage compartment volume has been increased to approx. 135 liters (basic equipment).

A new trim concept has been developed to enhance the appearance of the luggage compartment. In addition to new, large-area trims on the inside of the luggage compartment, it also includes full trim on the areas around the luggage compartment up to the lower frame of the windscreen (cross panel, side section and radiator tank trim).







The trim on the inside of the luggage compartment gives it a clear structure and makes it feel extremely tidy. For example, the audio amplifier, the tyre sealing compound and compressor and the tool bag (including rim nut wrench and towing eye) are hidden behind a vertical trim mounted diagonally in front of the rear wall of the luggage compartment. Integrated on the trim is a special holder which keeps the warning triangle handy for use in an emergency. The first aid kit is located on the right-hand side on the bulkhead.

Depending on their equipment, vehicles with optional special equipment are fitted with an additional full trim (to protect the electronic components, for example DVD navigation drive or audio amplifier) which runs across the entire width of the luggage compartment above the tank.

Vehicles without additional I numbers are only fitted with a trim for the brake fluid reservoir including the brake unit.

The new wing flange and radiator tank cover ensures that all screws and metal edges which were previously visible are now neatly covered. The choice of material for the trim ensures a feeling of quality. The plastics used are particularly scratch-resistant.
