Trunk comparison: Opel Grandland vs VW T-Roc

Key Differences

The Opel Grandland offers 8.3 in (14%) more cargo length with the seats folded down than the VW T-Roc and is 4.3 in (14%) longer with the first row of seats upright.

The VW T-Roc, on the other hand, has a significantly greater trunk depth: the depth (distance from loading edge to trunk floor) is 2.4 in (38%) higher than the Grandland.

Other, smaller differences: the T-Roc's trunk opening is 2 in (6%) higher and 2 in (5%) wider than the Grandland's, the Grandland's loading edge is 0.4 in (1%) higher above the ground, and the narrowest width of both trunks is the same.

Impact on Usability

Thanks to the longer loading length, the Opel Grandland is better suited for long items (e.g., boards, long boxes, skis) both with folded seats and with the first row upright: longer cargo fits flatter and further back in the space. For users who regularly transport long items, this increases everyday practicality.

The greater depth in the VW T-Roc offers more vertical space behind the loading edge; this can be advantageous when larger/taller items need to stand vertically in the trunk or when more volume in depth is required.

At the same time, a higher trunk depth often means more lifting when loading/unloading (deeper storage compartment), which can make handling heavy loads somewhat more difficult. The slightly larger opening height and width of the T-Roc also make it easier to load wide or tall objects through the rear opening.

Conclusion: For frequent transport of elongated cargo, the Opel Grandland is more practical; for more usable depth, easier loading angle for tall items, and somewhat larger opening dimensions, the VW T-Roc is advantageous.

Smaller differences in loading edge height and narrowest width are usually negligible in practice.
