Trunk comparison: Audi Q7 vs Seat Ibiza

Key Differences

The Audi Q7 offers a significantly longer cargo space: with the seats folded down, it is 24.4 in (44%) longer, and with the first row of seats upright, it is 20.1 in (75%) longer compared to the SEAT Ibiza. The width of the trunk opening is 13 in (38%) larger in the Q7, which makes loading wider items easier.

The depth between the loading edge and the trunk floor is 7.5 in (1800%) greater in the SEAT Ibiza. Additionally, the loading edge of the Audi Q7 is 3.5 in (13%) higher above the ground than that of the SEAT Ibiza.

Impact on Usability

Due to the significantly greater length of the Q7 (both with folded seats and with the first row upright), long or bulky items (e.g., furniture, long sports equipment, ladders) can be transported more easily; the Q7 offers more continuous cargo space with the seats folded down.

The considerably wider trunk opening of the Q7 simplifies loading and unloading wide cargo and reduces the risk of bulky parts getting caught on the opening.

The 3.5 in higher loading edge of the Q7 means more lifting effort when loading: heavy boxes or furniture need to be lifted higher, which makes handling more difficult. The SEAT Ibiza is more advantageous here when loading and unloading heavy loads.

The greater depth (loading edge → trunk floor) in the Ibiza means that items can sit deeper in the trunk — this can create more volume near the floor but makes it harder to retrieve heavy or bulky items because they are pulled further under the loading edge.

Combined with the lower loading edge of the Ibiza, this results in a deeper, more accessible cargo profile for light/tall items, while heavy, bulky loads are easier to handle in the Q7 due to its length and opening width.

Smaller differences such as the slightly greater width at the narrowest point in the Q7 (+3.5 in, 9%) or the 2.8 in higher opening height in the Ibiza (+9%) exist but have less impact on everyday usability.
