Trunk comparison: Mercedes Benz GLC vs Skoda Fabia

Key Differences (highlighted: >10%)

Length with seats folded down: The Mercedes‑Benz GLC offers a cargo floor that is 13.4 in (24%) longer than the Škoda Fabia.

Length with front seats upright: Even with the front seats upright, the GLC is 7.5 in (26%) longer than the Fabia.

Trunk depth (loading edge → trunk floor): The Škoda Fabia has a trunk depth that is 7.5 in (1800%) greater than the GLC.

Narrowest trunk width: At its narrowest point, the GLC is 6.7 in (18%) wider than the Fabia.

Implications for usability

The GLC is clearly better suited for long or wide cargo: the greater length (with folded and upright seats) allows storing longer items like skis, planks, or longer furniture parts; the greater narrowest width makes it easier to store wide parts and bulky luggage.

The Fabia scores with significantly more trunk depth. This results in more usable volume in the depth of the cargo area and is advantageous for tall or stackable cargo, deep boxes, or when items need to be recessed deeper into the trunk.

The slightly higher opening height of the Fabia (not >10%) also supports loading taller items.

Practical consequence: For transport tasks requiring length and width (lumber, furniture parts, wide boxes), the GLC is the better choice. For everyday shopping with many stackable packages, tall boxes, or when loading "in depth" is desired, the Fabia is more advantageous.

Brief notes on smaller differences

The loading edge of the GLC is slightly higher (+1.2 in / 4%), which can minimally complicate lifting heavy loads.

The width of the trunk opening on the GLC is slightly larger (+10%), the opening height on the Fabia is somewhat higher (+2.4 in / 8%) — both side effects that only marginally affect the main usability points mentioned above.
