Trunk comparison: Dacia Jogger vs VW ID.3

Key Differences

The Dacia Jogger offers significantly more loading length: with the seats folded down, the trunk is 10.2 in (17%) longer and with the first row of seats upright, even 14.6 in (47%) longer than the VW ID.3. The trunk opening of the Jogger is 6.7 in (23%) higher, allowing for more vertical clearance when loading.

At its narrowest point, the Jogger is 7.9 in (20%) wider, while the width of the opening is only 2.8 in (7%) larger, a smaller difference.

In the ID.3, the trunk floor is 3.1 in (100%) lower below the loading edge than in the Jogger; at the same time, the loading edge of the ID.3 is 4.3 in (17%) higher above the road. This combination results in a greater height difference between the road, loading edge, and trunk floor in the ID.3.

Impact on Usability

For long items (e.g., slats, skis, furniture parts), the Jogger clearly has the advantage: the greater loading length even with occupied seats allows transporting longer loads without folding down seats. The higher opening of the Jogger also makes it easier to load tall or bulky items.

For wide or bulky cargo, the greater interior width of the Jogger at the narrowest point plays a major role: 7.9 in more space means bulky items less often need to be loaded crosswise or at an angle.

While the ID.3 has a lower trunk floor below the loading edge (greater "depth"), in practice this advantage is offset by the higher loading edge and the lower opening: the loading edge is 4.3 in higher, making it harder to lift heavy items when loading.

The lower trunk floor can create a somewhat more "vertical" interior volume but is less suitable if the opening itself is low.

In short: Those who regularly transport long, wide, or tall cargo and want convenient loading will find the Dacia Jogger the more practical solution. The VW ID.3 is more compact in this comparison and offers less robust loading convenience due to its geometry.
