Trunk comparison: Audi A6 Sedan vs Ford Focus Wagon

Key Differences and Impact on Usability

The biggest differences concern interior length, opening dimensions, and internal loading height. The Audi A6 offers an 11% longer load floor with the front seats upright, which means: with the seats in a normal position, longer cargo can be accommodated in the A6. The loading opening of the Ford Focus Wagon is significantly larger: it is 42% higher and 15% wider, and the narrowest point in the Ford's trunk is 11% wider.

This makes the Focus overall much easier for loading bulky or tall items (boxes, furniture parts, bicycles in an upright position).

The Audi also has a significantly greater trunk depth measurement (distance from loading edge to trunk floor): +3.9 in or 500%.

Practically, this means: the A6 offers more interior volume "below" the loading edge, allowing more storage space with the same external opening, but makes lifting heavy items a bit more cumbersome because they must be lowered/lifted further.

The loading edge itself is only slightly higher on the Audi (+1.2 in / 5%), which hardly affects loadability.

In summary: For frequent loading of wide, tall, or bulky single items, the Ford Focus Wagon is more practical due to the larger and higher opening as well as the wider narrow point.

For transports where a longer load floor and greater interior volume matter (e.g., long items with seats folded down or lots of luggage with seats upright), the Audi A6 offers advantages but has a narrower opening that can complicate very wide items.
