Trunk comparison: BMW iX1 vs Skoda Superb Wagon

Key Differences

The Škoda Superb Wagon offers a trunk that is 20.1 in (31%) longer with the seats folded down than the BMW iX1. Even with the front row upright, the Superb's trunk is 6.3 in (18%) longer.

The trunk opening height of the Superb is 3.9 in (14%) higher, and the trunk depth (distance from loading edge to trunk floor) is nominally 2.4 in (300%) greater — meaning a significantly deeper cargo well.

Conversely, the loading edge of the BMW iX1 is 5.1 in (22%) higher above the ground than that of the Superb. Smaller differences (trunk width at the narrowest point +0.4 in / 1% in favor of the Superb, opening width +1.2 in / 3% in favor of the iX1) are negligible.

Impact on Usability

Due to the significantly greater length of the cargo space (both with folded seats and with the front row upright), the Superb Wagon is clearly more practical for long items (e.g., furniture panels, skis, garden wood) and for drivers who regularly transport large or bulky loads.

The higher opening height on the Superb makes it easier to load tall items without tilting them.

The greater trunk depth in the Superb means a deeper cargo well: items sit lower, which increases total volume and reduces shifting. Combined with the lower loading edge, loading and unloading heavy loads is significantly more ergonomic in the Superb — less lifting against height.

The BMW iX1 scores little in cargo space but has a slightly wider trunk opening (+1.2 in), which can help when sliding in very wide items. However, the higher loading edge of the iX1 (5.1 in) makes lifting heavy loads more strenuous and limits usability for regular transport of large/heavy goods.

Conclusion: For maximum cargo capacity, easier loading and unloading, and transporting bulky or tall items, the Škoda Superb Wagon is the more practical choice. The BMW iX1 offers only marginal advantages in opening width; in terms of everyday cargo utility, the Superb is clearly ahead.
