Trunk comparison: Opel Astra Wagon vs Skoda Kamiq

Key Differences

The Opel Astra Sports Tourer offers a significantly longer cargo space when the seats are folded down: +9.8 in (16%) compared to the Škoda Kamiq. With the front row upright, the advantage is even more pronounced: the Astra has +11 in (38%) more cargo length.

Conversely, the actual depth measurement of the Kamiq from the loading edge to the trunk floor is 0.8 in (14%) larger, indicating a deeper cargo profile. Additionally, the loading edge of the Kamiq sits 3.5 in (15%) higher above the road than that of the Astra.

Impact on Usability

The greater cargo length of the Astra, both with folded seats and in everyday use with the front row upright, makes it more practical for long or bulky items (e.g., slats, furniture parts, longer sports equipment) and provides more flexibility when transporting luggage without folding down seats.

For users who regularly transport long loads or fold the seats completely, the Astra is therefore more advantageous.

The Kamiq, due to the greater depth of the trunk, tends to offer more usable volume in the floor recess, which helps when storing smaller, taller items and creates a deeper "floor compartment." However, the significantly higher loading edge makes loading and unloading heavy items more difficult and requires more effort or aids when loading.

In practice, this means the Kamiq can be harder to load despite similar volume, while the Astra is more comfortable and ergonomic due to the lower loading edge.

Smaller differences in the width and height of the opening (a few centimeters) are minor and hardly affect everyday usability.

In summary, the Astra is better suited for longer, bulky loads and more comfortable loading; the Kamiq can offer slightly more volume in the floor area due to its deeper cargo space but is less practical for loading heavy goods because of the higher loading edge.
