Trunk comparison: Audi A6 Avant vs Skoda Karoq

Main Differences

The most notable differences concern the loading length and vertical dimensions: The Audi A6 Avant offers a significantly longer loading area — +15.7 in (26%) with seats folded down and even +16.1 in (54%) when the first row of seats is upright — while the Škoda Karoq gains in height: The trunk opening is +7.5 in (26%) higher than the A6, and the distance from loading edge to trunk floor is +5.1 in (650%) greater in the Karoq.

Width of the opening and narrowest width differ hardly at all; the loading edge height above the road is only slightly (+1.6 in / 6%) higher in the Karoq.

Impact on Usability

Audi A6 Avant — Advantages: The significantly greater loading length makes the A6 Avant much better suited for long, flat items (e.g., slats, boards, skis, or furniture parts) that need to be transported entirely inside the vehicle.

Due to the comparatively lower loading edge, lifting heavy luggage is somewhat easier. Limitation: For very tall or bulky items, there is less vertical space due to the lower opening height.

Škoda Karoq — Advantages: The larger opening height and significantly greater distance from loading edge to trunk floor create more vertical space, which facilitates loading tall or bulky items (stacked crates, tall boxes, bulky equipment) and makes stacking in the cargo area more favorable.

Limitation: The shorter loading length limits the transport of very long items; the slightly higher loading edge makes lifting heavy loads slightly more difficult.

Common Points: There are no differences for very wide items (opening width and narrowest width are practically the same).
