Trunk comparison: Dacia Jogger vs Volvo XC40

Key Differences

The Dacia Jogger offers significantly more usable trunk space with the first row of seats folded down: +9.8 in (27%) more loading length than the Volvo XC40. The trunk opening of the Jogger is also considerably higher: +7.5 in (26%), which makes loading and unloading tall items easier.

The depth from the loading edge to the trunk floor is +3.1 in (700%) greater in the Jogger, and the narrowest width in the trunk is +7.9 in (20%) larger than in the XC40. In contrast, the loading edge of the Volvo XC40 sits +3.5 in (14%) higher above the road than in the Jogger.

Impact on Usability

Due to the significantly greater loading length with the first row of seats upright (+27%), the Jogger is more flexible in everyday use: longer items can be transported without folding down seats (e.g., skis, furniture parts, long packages).

The higher trunk opening (+26%) facilitates vertical loading of bulky or tall cargo (e.g., suitcases, strollers, boxes).

The greater depth between the loading edge and trunk floor (+3.1 in) creates more vertical space in the cargo area and can prevent tall items from hitting the loading edge; it also supports deeper insertion of cargo.

The larger minimum width (+20%) makes the Jogger better suited for wide items that would otherwise be tight on the sides. The lower loading edge of the Jogger (the XC40’s loading edge is +3.5 in higher) reduces lifting heavy loads into the trunk and is ergonomically better for frequent loading and unloading.

Small limitation: When all seats are folded down, the cargo volume differs only slightly (+4.3 in or 7% in favor of the Jogger), and the width of the trunk opening is minimally larger in the XC40 (+1.2 in or 3%).

These differences are less relevant in daily use than the larger advantages of the Jogger in height, depth, and usable loading length with the seat row in use.
