Trunk comparison: Opel Grandland vs Durchschnitt Compact SUV

Comparison of trunk dimensions for the Opel Grandland and Durchschnitt Compact SUV

Summary of Differences

The Opel Grandland offers noticeable advantages in cargo volume, especially in length and depth, compared to the average compact SUV. Notably:

with seats folded down, the trunk is 7.9 in (13%) longer

with the first row of seats upright, it is 4.7 in (16%) longer

the loading floor depth (loading edge to trunk floor) is 0.8 in (14%) greater

, and

the width of the trunk opening is 4.3 in (11%) wider

. Smaller differences with less impact include a 0.8 in (3%) higher opening height, a 1.6 in (5%) higher loading edge above the road, and a 1.2 in (3%) wider narrowest width inside the trunk.

Impact on Usability

The greater cargo length (both with folded seats and with the first row upright) means longer items can be accommodated more easily — such as skis, longer furniture parts, moving boxes, or rugs. This increases everyday practicality for occasional transport and small moves. The increased loading floor depth provides more usable volume downward, allowing bulky or tall luggage to fit better without protruding over the loading edge. The significantly wider trunk opening makes loading wide items easier and simplifies maneuvering strollers, floor panels, or larger luggage. Smaller drawbacks remain: the 1.6 in higher loading edge can make handling heavy loads somewhat more strenuous, and the nearly unchanged opening height as well as the slight increase in narrowest width limit the advantage for very tall or very narrow but bulky items. Overall, users who frequently transport longer or wider cargo gain a noticeable advantage compared to the average compact SUV.
