Trunk comparison: Opel Grandland vs Skoda Superb Wagon

Key Differences

The Škoda Superb Wagon offers significantly more cargo length: with the seats folded down, its trunk is +17.3 in (26%) longer, and with the first row of seats upright, it is +6.7 in (19%) longer than the Opel Grandland. The height of the trunk opening differs hardly (+0.4 in / 1%).

In contrast, the Opel stands out because the depth between the loading edge and the trunk floor is +3.1 in (100%) greater, and the loading edge itself is +7.5 in (32%) higher above the road. The narrowest trunk width is the same, and the opening width is only slightly (+0.8 in / 2%) larger on the Grandland.

Impact on Usability

Practical relevance of the differences:

• Škoda Superb Wagon: Due to the significantly greater loading length (+26% / +19%), long items (e.g., furniture parts, skis, building materials) can be transported better—often without folding down seats or with considerably more usable space after folding. For users who frequently need to carry long or bulky loads, the Superb is clearly advantageous.
• Opel Grandland: The higher loading edge (+7.5 in / 32%) makes lifting and loading heavy items more strenuous and complicates easily sliding in large boxes. The greater depth from loading edge to floor (+3.1 in / 100%) creates a deeper cargo step behind the loading edge: this can help secure cargo better (less shifting) but also means an additional step when loading—especially relevant when rolling or sliding in luggage.
• Both models: Since the narrowest width is the same, there is no difference when transporting very wide items. Small deviations in opening width and height are negligible for most applications.
