Trunk comparison: Seat Ibiza vs Volvo V90

Key Differences

The Volvo V90 offers significantly more cargo length: with the seats folded down, the trunk is 20.9 in (38%) longer, and with the first row upright, even 18.1 in (68%) longer than the SEAT Ibiza. The loading opening of the V90 is 10.2 in (30%) wider, which makes it easier to load wider items.

The SEAT Ibiza, on the other hand, has a higher trunk opening (+4.7 in / 17%) and a significantly greater depth between the loading edge and trunk floor (+7.5 in / 1800%) as well as a higher loading edge above the road (+3.1 in / 13%) compared to the Volvo V90.

Impact on Usability

Volvo V90 — better for long and bulky cargo: - The significantly greater cargo length (both with folded seats and with the rear bench upright) makes the V90 the better choice for long items (e.g., furniture, boards, skis) or when a large volume needs to be transported regularly. - The wider loading opening facilitates loading bulky, wide objects and reduces the likelihood of hitting the sides.

SEAT Ibiza — advantages with vertical and protected cargo areas, but handling disadvantages: - The higher loading opening height means taller items can more easily pass through the opening upright. - The greater depth between the loading edge and trunk floor indicates a lower cargo floor, which effectively increases usable visible volume and can store luggage more securely and deeper.

This can be practical when items need to be stacked or stored sideways. - The higher loading edge above the road makes lifting heavy items into the trunk more strenuous and less practical than in the V90.

Conclusion: For regular transport of long or wide cargo, the Volvo V90 is clearly advantageous. The SEAT Ibiza offers benefits for storing taller items and with a lower cargo floor, but due to the higher loading edge and overall shorter cargo length, it is less suitable for large, bulky transports.
