Trunk comparison: Audi Q7 vs Durchschnitt SUV

Comparison of trunk dimensions for the Audi Q7 and Durchschnitt SUV

Biggest Differences (Highlighted)

The Audi Q7 offers significantly more usable length and a wider loading opening compared to the average SUV: with the seats folded down, the Q7's trunk is 16.5 in (26%) longer, and with the first row of seats upright, it is 13.4 in (40%) longer.

The Q7's loading opening is also larger: the width of the opening is 5.9 in (14%) wider. In contrast, the average SUV has a significantly greater trunk depth between the loading edge and the floor: the depth is 2 in (400%) greater than in the Q7.

Impact on Usability

More Length (Q7): Due to the significantly greater interior length, both with folded seats and with the first row upright, the Q7 is better suited for long items (e.g., furniture parts, long pipes, skis). Even with the front seats occupied, there remains considerably more cargo space lengthwise.

Wider Opening Width (Q7): The 5.9 in wider loading opening makes loading wider or bulkier items easier — less maneuvering, fewer issues with edges and tight angles when sliding in furniture and boxes.

Less Trunk Depth (Q7 vs. Average): The greater depth in the average SUV means its floor is positioned further behind the loading edge, providing more vertical space behind the loading edge. Practical consequences:

Advantage Average SUV: better containment for low-lying / tall items and generally more volume below the loading edge.
Advantage Q7: due to the flatter floor position at the loading edge, sliding heavy items in is easier (smaller lever), though the maximum usable stacking height behind the loading edge may be lower.

Other, smaller differences: The Q7's loading edge is slightly higher (+1.2 in / 4%) and the average SUV's opening height is minimally greater (+0.8 in / 3%) — these values are comparatively insignificant for most everyday situations. The narrowest trunk width is also only slightly larger in the Q7 (+2 in / 5%).

Conclusion: For users who frequently transport long or wide items, the Audi Q7 is more practical due to its significantly greater interior length and wider loading opening.

Those who need more "depth volume" directly behind the loading edge (e.g., for very tall or low-lying cargo) have a slight advantage with the average SUV.
