Trunk comparison: Renault Austral vs Skoda Kamiq

Key Differences

Important differences concern length, opening height, and loading height. The Renault Austral offers a cargo area that is +4.7 in (16%) longer with the front seats upright compared to the Škoda Kamiq.

The height of the trunk opening is +4.3 in (15%) greater in the Kamiq, and the depth of the trunk (loading edge to trunk floor) is +3.1 in (100%) higher in the Kamiq than in the Austral.

Additionally, the loading edge of the Renault Austral sits +3.1 in (11%) higher above the ground than that of the Kamiq.

Smaller or less relevant differences: with the seats folded down, the difference is only +2.8 in (5%) in favor of the Austral; the width at the narrowest point is the same; the width of the Austral's trunk opening is +3.9 in (10%) larger (not >10%).

Impact on Usability

The +4.7 in (16%) longer cargo area of the Austral with the front seats upright makes it more practical for longer items to be transported without folding the seats down (e.g., skis, long boxes).

The higher trunk opening frame and greater floor depth in the Kamiq (each +4.3 in / +3.1 in) allow better accommodation of tall or bulky cargo but create a deeper loading well: as a result, cargo sits lower, may be harder to reach, but often offers more usable volume for durable or stackable goods.

The +3.1 in (11%) higher loading edge of the Austral means that heavy lifting when loading is more strenuous; the Kamiq is more convenient for loading heavy items.

The equally narrow interior width at the tightest point restricts the transport of the widest items equally in both vehicles. The slightly wider opening of the Austral (+3.9 in) makes loading wider items somewhat easier, but this advantage is exactly 10% and therefore less pronounced.

In short: the Austral scores for length-intensive cargo without folding the front seats; the Kamiq is advantageous for higher volume, easier handling when loading, and accommodating tall items.
