Trunk comparison: Audi Q2 vs VW ID.3

Key Differences

The most noticeable difference is in the trunk depth (loading edge to trunk floor): the VW ID.3 is 2 in or 45% deeper here than the Audi Q2. This has direct implications for usability: bulky or voluminous items can be better accommodated in the ID.3, larger containers stand more securely, and more fits on the cargo floor without items protruding or needing to be laid sideways.

Other, but significantly smaller differences are:

• With the rear seats folded down, the ID.3 is 3.1 in (6%) longer — helpful for longer items, but not a major difference.
• With the front seats upright, the ID.3 has a trunk that is 0.4 in (1%) longer.
• The trunk opening of the Audi Q2 is 0.8 in (3%) higher than that of the ID.3, which can be an advantage when loading very tall items or placing upright objects.
• The loading edge of the ID.3 is 0.4 in (1%) higher above the road surface, making lifting heavy items slightly more strenuous.
• The width of the trunk at its narrowest point and the width of the trunk opening are each 0.8 in (2%) larger in the ID.3 — practically relevant only for very wide items.

Practical Conclusion

For users who frequently transport bulky or deep cargo (boxes, bulky luggage, groceries), the VW ID.3 is the better choice due to its significantly larger trunk depth. The Audi Q2 offers a slightly higher opening, which simplifies loading tall items.

All other differences are minor and only marginally affect everyday usability; the choice therefore mainly depends on the need for a deeper cargo floor (ID.3) versus a slightly higher opening (Q2).
