Trunk comparison: Dacia Jogger vs VW Taigo

Comparison of trunk dimensions for the Dacia Jogger and VW Taigo

Key Differences (Brief Summary)

The Dacia Jogger has a cargo space that is 9.1 in (15%) longer with the seats folded down than the VW Taigo; with the first row of seats upright, the advantage is even greater: +13.4 in (41%) in favor of the Jogger.

The trunk opening height is 4.7 in (15%) higher in the Jogger, and the narrowest width in the cargo area is 8.7 in (22%) larger.

In contrast, the Taigo scores with a significantly greater depth between the loading edge and the trunk floor (+4.7 in, 150%) and a loading edge that is 3.5 in (14%) higher above the road. The width of the trunk opening differs by only 4% in favor of the Jogger and is therefore negligible.

What Are the Practical Implications of These Differences?

The Jogger is clearly better suited for long and wide loads: more interior length with folded seats and especially with the first row upright makes it more practical for furniture pieces, long building materials, or multiple suitcases.

The larger narrowest width also means that bulky items less often have to fit through a tight spot. The higher opening height makes it easier to lift tall items in and provides better access when loading.

The Taigo offers more "depth" in the cargo space due to the greater distance between the loading edge and the trunk floor — this can be useful when items need to lie deeper and more securely in the vehicle (e.g., to recess something below the loading edge).

At the same time, the higher loading edge makes lifting heavy loads into the trunk more strenuous and less practical: more lift height when loading. Overall, the Taigo is less suitable for frequent transport of long/bulky goods but can have advantages with lower-lying, well-positioned loads.

Conclusion: For users who regularly transport long, wide, or tall loads or simply want easier loading, the Dacia Jogger is the more practical choice. The VW Taigo offers a different cargo space geometry with a deeper loading floor but requires more effort or aids when loading due to the higher loading edge.
