Trunk comparison: Audi Q7 vs Ford Focus Wagon

Key Differences and Impact on Usability

When loading and usability are considered, four differences stand out. The Audi Q7 offers 14% more cargo length (+5.9 in) with the first row of seats upright, meaning longer items can more often be transported without moving the front seats forward.

The trunk opening of the Q7 is also 12% wider (+5.1 in), making it easier to fit bulky or wide parts and simplifying the loading of large items.

On the other hand, the loading edge of the Audi Q7 is 24% higher (+5.9 in) above the road. This increases the effort required to lift heavy loads and makes loading bulky, heavy items more difficult compared to the lower Focus.

The Ford Focus Wagon also has a greater depth between the loading edge and the trunk floor (+0.8 in, indicated here as a 100% difference), which means cargo sits slightly lower — this facilitates sliding and results in a lower center of gravity in the cargo area.

Other, smaller differences: With the seats fully folded down, the Q7 is 10% longer (+7.5 in) — an advantage for very long loads, but borderline for emphasis. The narrowest point of the trunk is 2 in (≈5%) wider in the Focus, which favors the Focus for very narrow passages.

Conclusion: For wide or elongated cargo and comfort when loading large items, the wider opening and greater cargo length of the Q7 speak in its favor.

For frequent lifting of heavy loads or better handling when loading and unloading, the lower loading edge height and greater installation depth of the Focus are advantageous.
