Trunk comparison: Dacia Jogger vs Durchschnitt SUV

Key Statements

The Dacia Jogger offers clear advantages in several dimensions compared to the average SUV. Particularly notable are: with the first row upright, the trunk is 12.2 in (36%) longer, and with the seats folded down, it is 7.1 in (11%) longer.

The height of the trunk opening is 5.9 in (19%) larger, the narrowest trunk width is 7.1 in (17%) larger, and the distance from the loading edge to the trunk floor is 1.2 in (60%) higher (absolute difference small, percentage large).

Additionally, the loading edge of the average SUV is 3.5 in (14%) higher above the ground than that of the Jogger. The trunk opening of the average SUV is only slightly wider by +1.2 in (3%) and thus not significant.

Impact on Usability

The longer cargo areas (especially +12.2 in with the first row upright) make the Jogger more practical when transporting passengers and longer items simultaneously — such as children, luggage, and bulky goods.

With folded seats, the cargo space also increases noticeably (+7.1 in), which facilitates transporting longer items like ladders, skis, or furniture.

The higher trunk opening (+5.9 in) and the greater interior width at the narrowest point (+7.1 in) simplify loading large or tall items; bulky parts are less likely to get stuck at tight spots.

The greater depth between the loading edge and trunk floor (+1.2 in) increases usable volume, even though the absolute change is small — with deep, unwieldy loads, this extra depth can make a difference.

Since the Jogger’s loading edge is lower (the average is +3.5 in higher), lifting heavy items is less strenuous; this is a practical advantage for frequent loading. The slightly wider opening of the average SUV (+1.2 in) is hardly relevant in everyday use and does not compensate for the other advantages of the Jogger.
