Trunk comparison: Jeep Renegade vs Volvo V90

Key Differences and Impact on Usability

The Volvo V90 offers significantly more cargo length: with the seats folded down, the trunk of the V90 is 16.1 in longer (≈27%), and with the first row upright, it is 14.6 in longer (≈48%) than the Jeep Renegade.

This makes the V90 much more suitable for long or bulky items (e.g., slats, skis, furniture parts) and for larger overall cargo when the rear seat is used or folded down.

The opening of the V90 is also wider: the width of the trunk opening is 6.3 in larger (≈16%), which facilitates loading wider items and makes maneuvering bulky cargo when lifting it in easier. The narrowest point in the trunk is only slightly larger in the V90 (+3.5 in / 9%) and falls below the 10% mark.

The Jeep Renegade scores with more vertical space at the entrance and a different loading geometry: the height of the trunk opening is 7.5 in higher (≈27%) than in the V90, and the distance from the loading edge to the trunk floor is 5.5 in lower (≈1300%)—both values make it easier to load tall items (e.g., crates, boxes, or tall furniture parts) because more vertical space is available.

At the same time, the loading edge of the Renegade is 5.9 in higher (≈25%) above the road, which makes lifting heavy loads into the trunk more strenuous, while easier sliding in of flat items can be more difficult.

In summary: Those who want to transport long, flat, or wide cargo and prefer a lower loading edge benefit more from the Volvo V90. Those who need to load tall, bulky items vertically and have no problem with a higher loading edge will find advantages in the Jeep Renegade due to the greater opening height and the lower trunk floor position.
