Trunk comparison: Jeep Renegade vs Mercedes Benz GLB

Key Differences

The Mercedes‑Benz GLB has significantly more cargo length: with the seats folded down, it is 9.4 in (≈16%) longer, and with the first row upright even 7.1 in (≈23%) longer than the Jeep Renegade.

The Jeep Renegade, on the other hand, offers a deeper cargo well: the depth (loading edge to trunk floor) is 0.8 in (≈17%) greater in the Renegade.

Other differences (under 10%) are: trunk opening height Renegade +0.4 in, loading edge height Renegade +1.6 in, interior width at the narrowest point GLB +3.5 in, width of the trunk opening GLB +3.1 in.

Impact on Usability

The greater cargo length of the GLB makes it better suited for long items (e.g., furniture parts, slats, skis, partially bicycles after removing the front wheel) and for significantly more usable storage space with the seats folded down.

Those who regularly transport longer goods or more luggage benefit from the longer cargo area.

The greater trunk depth of the Renegade means that the cargo floor lies deeper and smaller items can disappear further inside the cargo well — this increases usability when securely stowing bulky or irregular loads and when stacking in the area behind the loading edge.

However, the loading edge of the Renegade is somewhat higher above the road, which can make lifting heavy items during loading more difficult.

The slightly greater interior width and opening width of the GLB (both just under 10% difference) make loading wider items easier, but are less dramatic than the length and depth differences.

In short: For longer or more voluminous cargo configurations, the GLB is advantageous.

For lower-lying, better “recessed” loads in the trunk and when a slightly larger cargo well clearance under the loading edge is needed, the Renegade offers practical advantages — despite the somewhat higher lifting height during loading.
