Trunk comparison: Audi Q2 vs Mercedes Benz GLB

Key Differences

The Mercedes‑Benz GLB offers significantly more cargo space than the Audi Q2: with the seats folded down, the GLB's trunk is 12.6 in (22%) longer, and with the first row of seats upright, it is 6.7 in (22%) longer.

The trunk opening is also noticeably larger: the opening height of the GLB is 4.3 in (14%) higher and the width of the opening is 4.7 in (13%) wider than that of the Q2. Smaller differences such as the GLB's trunk depth measurement being 0.4 in (9%) greater, the Q2's loading edge being 1.6 in (6%) higher, and the GLB's narrowest trunk width being 2.4 in (6%) larger are comparatively insignificant.

Implications for Usability

The longer cargo spaces of the GLB make it significantly better suited for longer items (e.g., skis, long boards, furniture parts) and for users who regularly transport large or bulky loads.

The higher opening height and wider opening facilitate loading and unloading bulky or tall items as well as maneuvering larger boxes or bags through the opening.

In the Audi Q2, the more compact cargo area and the narrower, lower opening mean that very long or bulky loads often have to be loaded crosswise or with the rear seats folded down; the 1.6 in higher loading edge also makes lifting heavy loads slightly more difficult than in the GLB.

In short: those who regularly transport large, long, or bulky items have noticeable advantages with the GLB; those who mainly drive in the city and rarely need large cargo benefit from the more compact Q2 despite the limitations in cargo volume.
