Trunk comparison: Opel Astra Wagon vs Opel Grandland

Key Differences

The Opel Astra Sports Tourer offers a cargo floor that is 5.1 in (+15%) longer with an upright first row of seats compared to the Opel Grandland. The Grandland has a trunk depth measurement (loading edge → trunk floor) that is 0.8 in (+14%) larger. Additionally, the loading edge of the Grandland is significantly higher: +6.7 in (+28%) compared to the Astra. Smaller differences (e.g., +5% with seats fully folded down, ±0.4 in in width measurements, +5% in opening height) are practically negligible.

Practical Implications / Usability

- Longer cargo floor (Astra, +15%): Advantage when transporting long items without folding seats down (skis, slats, long boxes). Those who frequently transport long goods with full seating occupancy have noticeably more room in the Astra. - Greater depth (Grandland, +14%): The Grandland offers a somewhat deeper cargo space below the loading edge, which facilitates storing bulky, voluminous, or stackable cargo and visually creates more "storage space." - Higher loading edge (Grandland, +28%): The significantly higher loading edge makes lifting heavy items into the trunk more difficult and makes frequent loading less practical (more effort, higher lifting angle). For rolling carts or roll boxes, the higher loading edge is also disadvantageous. - Interaction: For long, heavy, or frequently loaded items, the Astra is overall more practical (more length combined with a lower loading edge). For bulky, stackable cargo that needs to be lifted less often, the Grandland can offer advantages due to the greater depth. Summary: Astra = better for long items and easier lifting/loading. Grandland = lower inner floor clearance, useful for deep stackable cargo, but less convenient for loading and unloading due to the higher loading edge.
