Trunk comparison: BMW X2 vs Skoda Karoq

Key Differences

Four noticeable differences stand out in the comparison: The BMW X2 offers a significantly longer cargo space with the rear seats upright: +6.7 in (22%) compared to the Škoda Karoq.

The Škoda Karoq, on the other hand, has a significantly higher trunk opening: +10.2 in (39%), as well as a greater depth between the loading edge and trunk floor: +2.4 in (67%).

The loading edge of the BMW X2 sits higher above the road: +4.7 in (18%). Smaller deviations in width and length with folded seats (each about ~1–6%) are present but negligible for practical purposes.

Implications for Usability

The longer loading area of the BMW X2 with the rear seats upright makes it advantageous in everyday use for long, flat items (skis, long boxes, boards) without having to fold down the seats. For transporting such longer items with full seating occupancy, the X2 is more practical.

The Škoda Karoq scores points for bulky, tall, or heavy loads: the significantly higher trunk opening makes it easier to load tall items, the greater "depth" creates more usable interior space behind the loading edge, and the lower loading edge reduces the lifting height when loading and unloading.

This makes the Karoq overall more comfortable for frequent loading of heavy or tall items (furniture, crates, plants).

Since the difference with folded seats and in width is small, both models remain similarly flexible for maximum cargo space; the deciding factor is whether you more often transport long, flat items with seating needs (BMW X2) or rather bulky/heavy loads with easy accessibility (Škoda Karoq).
