Trunk comparison: Jeep Compass vs Skoda Kamiq

Most Important Difference

The Jeep Compass offers in the trunk, when the first row of seats is upright, a loading surface that is 3.1 in or 11% longer than the Škoda Kamiq. This difference is the only change over 10% and thus the most relevant structural deviation between the models.

Impact on Usability

The Compass's 11% longer loading surface with the first row upright makes it clearly better suited for longer items that need to be transported without folding down the front seats (e.g., long pipes, skis, or furniture parts).

Users who regularly transport long cargo with full passenger seating or at least with the first row raised face fewer limitations with the Compass.

However, the Compass also has a 2.8 in higher loading lip (+10% compared to the Kamiq). While this does not exceed the 10% threshold, it is practically noticeable: heavy cargo must be lifted higher, which can make loading and unloading more difficult.

Additionally, the narrowest point in the trunk is 0.8 in wider in the Kamiq, so wider items tend to fit better there. The width of the trunk opening is slightly larger in the Compass (+0.4 in), which helps when inserting bulky cargo.

Further Details

With the seats folded down, the Compass is about 4.7 in longer (approx. 8%), which is an advantage for very long transports, but this difference remains below the 10% mark and is therefore less significant.

The depth of the trunk (loading lip to trunk floor) is the same in both models, and the height of the trunk opening differs by only 0.4 in.

Practical Conclusion

For frequent transport of long items with the first row upright, the Jeep Compass is the more practical choice. Those who value easier loading, slightly wider cargo space, and a lower loading height are better served by the Škoda Kamiq.

Both models have similar basic dimensions in depth and opening height; differences mainly concern length, loading lip height, and minimal width.
