Trunk comparison: Dacia Duster vs Volvo XC60

Key Differences

The most notable differences concern the depth of the trunk and the width inside as well as at the opening.

The Dacia Duster offers a significantly deeper trunk well: +3.1 in (≈700 %) compared to the Volvo XC60. The Volvo XC60, on the other hand, is wider: at the narrowest point of the trunk +4.3 in (11 %) and at the trunk opening +5.5 in (14 %) compared to the Duster.

Impact on Usability

The deeper trunk well in the Duster increases the usable volume for tall or irregularly shaped items that can be stored in the recess. At the same time, a deep well means that heavy or bulky items must be lifted further down, making loading more difficult and handling heavy loads more challenging.

The greater interior width and especially the wider opening of the Volvo make it significantly easier to load wide, bulky items – such as furniture parts, larger boxes, or wide sports equipment. A wider opening reduces the risk of bumping into door panels or edges and generally makes loading and unloading easier.

Practically speaking: Those who frequently transport wide or bulky items (e.g., furniture, pallets, large boxes) will find the Volvo XC60 more practical for everyday use.

Those who value a deeper cargo volume for tall or recess-stored loads and less frequently load very wide items will benefit more from the Dacia Duster.
