Trunk comparison: Renault Clio vs Skoda Kamiq

Key Differences (highlighted >10%)

The Škoda Kamiq offers a +8.3 in (16%) longer cargo floor with the seats folded down compared to the Renault Clio, making it more advantageous for longer items.

The trunk opening of the Kamiq is also +3.9 in (14%) higher, allowing bulky, tall cargo to fit more easily through the opening. In contrast, the Renault Clio has a significantly greater depth from the loading edge to the trunk floor: +24 in (381%) in favor of the Clio.

Additionally, the loading edge of the Kamiq sits +18.1 in (192%) higher above the road than that of the Clio.

Smaller differences (under 10%) include a 1.2 in longer loading surface with the front seats upright in the Kamiq and width differences of 0.8 in each at the narrowest point and opening, favoring the Clio and Kamiq respectively.

Impact on Usability

Practical relevance of the highlighted differences:

• Cargo length (Kamiq +8.3 in with folded seats): The Kamiq is better suited for long items (e.g., furniture parts, long boxes) because the longer flat surface makes loading easier.
• Trunk opening height (Kamiq +3.9 in): A higher opening means more clearance when loading tall or bulky cargo; bulky parts can be maneuvered more easily.
• Depth from loading edge to trunk floor (Clio +24 in): The Clio has a significantly lower trunk floor relative to the loading edge. This can create more "vertical" storage space at the bottom and prevents items from protruding too much when loaded — but also results in a larger step from the opening edge into the cargo area.
• Loading edge height above road (Kamiq +18.1 in): Due to the significantly higher loading edge of the Kamiq, lifting heavy loads requires more effort, making it harder to load heavy items compared to the lower entry of the Clio.

In summary: For long and bulky items (with seats folded or with a high opening), the Kamiq has the advantage.

For ergonomic lifting of heavy loads and easier access to the cargo floor (lower loading edge, deeper interior relative to the opening), the Clio is preferable. Smaller width and length differences with the seats upright are usually negligible in practice.
