Trunk comparison: Ford Escape vs Skoda Elroq

Key Differences

The most noticeable difference: The Ford Kuga offers a 7.1 in (23%) longer trunk length with the first row of seats upright than the Škoda Elroq.

All other measured differences are significantly smaller: with seats fully folded down, the Kuga is only +2.4 in (4%) longer; the narrowest width in the trunk is +1.6 in (4%) larger in the Kuga, and the width of the trunk opening is +1.2 in (3%).

The height of the trunk opening and depth (loading edge to trunk floor) are the same; the Kuga's loading edge is +0.4 in (1%) higher above the road.

Impact on Usability

The 23% longer cargo length with normal seating position is practically relevant: the Kuga accommodates longer items without folding seats down (e.g., skis, long boxes, or roof rack loads) and offers more flexibility when passengers remain seated.

For families or users who regularly transport long items, this means noticeably more everyday practicality.

The smaller advantages of the Kuga in width (+3–1.6 in) make storing wider or irregularly shaped luggage slightly easier but only marginally change usability.

Equal opening height and depth mean loading and unloading as well as floor arrangement are comparable. The Kuga's loading edge being 0.4 in higher is negligible but may require slightly more effort when lifting heavy loads.

Conclusion: For users who regularly transport long items with full seating or need more flexibility in a loaded interior, the Ford Kuga is noticeably advantageous due to the longer cargo length. In all other everyday scenarios, the differences are rather small.
