Trunk comparison: BMW X1 vs Skoda Elroq

Key Differences

The BMW X1 has a trunk that is 3.9 in longer (+13%) with the rear seats upright compared to the Škoda Elroq. Additionally, the trunk floor of the BMW X1 is 0.8 in lower – a difference indicated here as +200% (because the reference in the Elroq is very low).

What this means for usability

The longer loading length of the BMW X1 with the rear seats upright makes it more practical for everyday use when frequently transporting luggage or longer items without folding down the seats.

The significantly deeper trunk well in the X1 also provides more "depth" for bulky or voluminous items and increases the usable volume in the floor area.

However, the deeper well combined with the slightly higher loading edge of the X1 (only +0.8 in, so marginal) can make handling heavy items a bit less convenient – more lifting effort or a smaller step when sliding items in is required.

The Škoda Elroq has a slightly longer loading surface (+1.2 in / 2%) with the seats fully folded down, but this is hardly noticeable in practice.

In short: For users who often transport with the rear seats upright or appreciate deeper cargo compartments for bulky parts, the BMW X1 offers greater utility.

Those who mainly prefer opening height, easier sliding over a shallower well, or marginally more length with folded seats will find the Škoda Elroq closer – but the differences there are overall smaller and less relevant in practice.
