Trunk comparison: Ford Focus Wagon vs Mercedes Benz GLB

Key Differences (>10%)

The most significant deviations concern the vertical dimensions of the cargo area: The trunk opening of the Mercedes‑Benz GLB is 6.7 in or about 24% higher than that of the Ford Focus Wagon.

The depth of the trunk (loading edge to trunk floor) is listed as 3.9 in greater in the GLB – which corresponds to a very large relative difference of 500%. Additionally, the loading edge of the GLB is 3.5 in or about 14% higher above the ground than the Ford's.

Implications for Usability

Due to the higher opening and greater depth, the GLB offers clear advantages when transporting tall or bulky items: bulky boxes, crates, larger plants, or tall travel bags can be more easily accommodated standing upright or stacked higher.

The greater depth increases the usable interior space vertically and makes the GLB overall better suited for "volume-heavy" cargo.

In contrast, the lower loading floor and lower loading edge of the Ford Focus Wagon make loading and unloading heavy items easier: suitcases, beverage crates, or shopping bags can be loaded and unloaded with less effort.

Additionally, the Focus offers slightly more length (with seats folded down or with the front row upright) and a bit more width at the narrowest point, which favors storing long, flat items (e.g., skis, shelves, long boxes).

In summary: If you often transport tall or bulky cargo, the Mercedes‑GLB is more advantageous due to the significantly higher opening and deeper loading floor.

If you more frequently have to lift heavy items alone or want to transport long, flat items, the Ford Focus Wagon is more practical thanks to the lower loading edge and slightly greater length/narrower width.
