Trunk comparison: Audi Q2 vs Ford Escape

Key Differences

In terms of maximum cargo volume with the seats folded down, the Ford Kuga is 11 in (19%) longer than the Audi Q2. Even with the rear seats upright, the Kuga offers 7.9 in (26%) more cargo length.

The width of the trunk opening is 4.7 in (13%) larger on the Kuga, making it easier to load wider items. It is also notable that the Audi Q2 has a significantly greater trunk depth (distance from loading edge to trunk floor): plus 3.9 in (1000%) compared to the Kuga.

What are the implications of these differences for usability?

Ford Kuga — better loading flexibility for long and wide loads: The significantly longer cargo area (both with seats folded and upright) makes the Kuga better suited for long items like slats, furniture boards, or skis. The wider opening simplifies loading bulky or wide objects and reduces maneuvering when loading.

Audi Q2 — more compact, but with a deeper cargo "well": The greater trunk depth of the Q2 creates a deeper cargo well where smaller items lie more stably and are less likely to shift.

This is practical for groceries, toolboxes, or delicate cargo that should not slide around. However, the shorter length and narrower opening are disadvantages when transporting longer or wider items.

Other, less significant differences: The trunk opening of the Audi is only 0.4 in higher (negligible), and the loading edge of the Q2 is about 2.4 in higher above the ground (approx. 9%), which can make lifting heavy loads slightly more difficult.

The narrowest width inside the trunk is about 2 in larger on the Kuga (approx. 5%), but this has little practical effect.
