Trunk comparison: Audi Q2 vs Dacia Duster

Key Differences

The Dacia Duster offers a cargo space that is 7.5 in (≈13%) longer with the seats folded down than the Audi Q2, and when the rear seat row is upright, the Duster is even 7.5 in (≈24%) longer. The Audi Q2, on the other hand, has a trunk depth (loading edge to trunk floor) that is 1.2 in (≈38%) greater.

All other values differ only slightly: the height of the trunk opening on the Duster is 1.6 in (≈5%) larger, the width at the narrowest point is 0.4 in (≈1%) wider, and the opening width is 1.6 in (≈4%) wider; the loading edge is at the same height.

Impact on Practical Use

The significantly greater loading length of the Dacia Duster (both with folded seats and with the rear bench upright) makes it better suited for transporting long items such as slats, boards, skis, or longer boxes.

In everyday use, the greater length with the rear seats upright means more practical storage space for bulky but flat goods and more flexibility when loading with passengers in the back seats.

The greater depth of the Audi Q2 (loading edge to trunk floor) means that the cargo space floor is lower, providing more volume "below" the loading edge. This is advantageous when you want to load bulky or tall items as low and thus as stably as possible or when you want to store luggage flush under a cover.

Practically, this can also mean that heavy items need to be lifted a bit further or placed lower — the physical effort when loading may increase slightly, but the loading edge itself remains at the same height.

Smaller differences in opening width and height (Duster +1.6 in opening height, +1.6 in opening width) as well as the nearly identical loading edge height have only minor effects in everyday use: both models can be loaded similarly, the trunk openings are comparably manageable, and the width differences are negligible.

In summary: For long or elongated cargo, the Duster clearly has the advantage. For lower-lying, "recessed" luggage in the space, the Q2 offers advantages due to the greater trunk depth. In many everyday situations, the shape of the cargo (long vs. deep) determines which model is more practical.
