Trunk comparison: Dacia Jogger vs VW Tiguan Allspace

Key Differences and Their Impact on Usability

The most noticeable difference is the usable length with seats upright: the Dacia Jogger offers significantly more cargo space with all seats upright (+27.2 in / 147%).

Practically, this means: with full passenger seating, the Jogger can fit much more luggage, strollers, or groceries without folding down seats – a clear advantage for families and regular passengers.

The vertical dimensions also favor the Jogger: the trunk opening is about 7.9 in (28%) higher and the distance from the loading edge to the trunk floor is 3.1 in (700%) greater.

This allows for accommodating taller items and provides more volume behind the loading edge; at the same time, the cargo sits a bit lower, which makes stacking stable items easier but also requires reaching a bit deeper.

In terms of width, the Jogger is 8.3 in (21%) wider at its narrowest point, allowing for wider cargo inside.

On the other hand, the Tiguan has a larger opening width: the Tiguan's trunk opening is about 4.3 in (11%) wider, which simplifies loading wide, flat items through the opening, even though the interior becomes tighter afterward.

A point on handling and comfort: the Tiguan's loading edge sits about 4.3 in (17%) higher above the ground than the Jogger's. This means more lifting effort for heavy items in the Tiguan; the Jogger is more ergonomic for loading here.

Briefly noted: With seats fully folded down, the Tiguan Allspace offers a slightly longer cargo floor (+4.3 in / 6%), which can be advantageous for very long, flat transports (e.g., slats, laminate).

However, for normal use with passengers and regular cargo, the Jogger is more practical in most cases: more interior length with the rear bench occupied, higher opening, greater interior width at the narrowest point, and a lower loading edge make daily loading easier and allow for bulkier cargo without folding seats down.
