Trunk comparison: Opel Astra Wagon vs Skoda Elroq

Biggest Differences (highlighted: >10%)

The Opel Astra Wagon offers a significantly longer trunk in the normal loading condition (first row upright): +10.6 in (≈34%).

The usable trunk depth (loading edge to trunk floor) of the Opel is relatively +100% larger (absolute value: +0.4 in). The Škoda Elroq's loading edge is about +3.9 in (≈17%) higher above the road than the Opel's.

Impact on Usability

1) Everyday use and flexible interior: The approximately one-third longer loading surface of the Opel with the rear seat upright makes it practically superior for typical everyday scenarios — shopping, luggage, stroller, or longer items without folding the seats.

The Škoda does have a slightly greater length with fully folded seats (+0.4 in), but this advantage is so minimal that it hardly matters in practice.

2) Loading behavior and cargo volume: The stated greater trunk depth of the Opel (percentage-wise significant; absolute +0.4 in) suggests somewhat more storage space in lengthwise direction or slightly better stackability.

Due to the very small absolute difference, the practical benefit is limited — the Opel offers a small advantage here that can be noticeable in individual cases.

3) Loading and accessibility: The higher loading edge (+3.9 in) on the Škoda makes lifting heavy items into the trunk noticeably more strenuous than with the Opel. A lower loading edge on the Opel facilitates frequent loading and unloading, e.g., when transporting furniture, beverage crates, or strollers.

4) Other dimensions: Width of the trunk opening, total height of the opening, and the narrowest width differ only marginally (<10%) and hardly affect practical usability. Both models are comparable here.

Brief conclusion: For everyday usability with rear seats left in place and easier loading, the Opel Astra Wagon is more advantageous. The Škoda Elroq shows no significant practical advantages except for a negligible length increase with fully folded seats.
