Trunk comparison: Mercedes Benz GLB vs Skoda Kamiq

Key Differences

In terms of cargo space, the Mercedes‑Benz GLB is significantly longer: with the seats folded down, the GLB's trunk is 9.4 in (16%) longer, and with the first row of seats upright, it is 8.3 in (28%) longer than the Škoda Kamiq.

Conversely, the Kamiq has a noticeably greater trunk depth between the loading edge and the trunk floor: the depth is 1.6 in (33%) greater in the Kamiq than in the GLB.

Impact on Usability

The longer cargo dimensions of the GLB practically mean that longer items (e.g., skis, slats, long boxes, or furniture parts) fit more easily inside, especially when the rear seats are folded down.

Even with the front row upright, the GLB is noticeably more flexible for travel suitcases, shopping trolleys, or longer luggage — it offers more usable depth without folding the seats.

The greater depth (loading edge → trunk floor) in the Kamiq means that items can lie deeper in the cargo area. This is advantageous when heavy or tall items need to be stored below the window line or under a cargo cover.

However, a deeper loading floor combined with a slightly lower loading edge can make lifting or removing very heavy loads easier, though accessibility for long, flat items remains limited due to the shorter overall length.

Smaller differences (width, opening height, loading edge height) exist but only slightly affect basic usability: the GLB is marginally wider in some areas and has a slightly higher opening height, which facilitates loading bulky parts, while the slightly higher loading edge of the GLB makes handling heavy items minimally more strenuous.

Conclusion: For users who frequently transport long items or large volumes with folded seats, the GLB is the more practical choice. Those who more often store heavy or taller items near the loading edge and value a deeper loading floor will find an advantage in the Kamiq.
