Trunk comparison: Seat Tarraco vs Skoda Elroq

Summary of the Biggest Differences

In comparison, the SEAT Tarraco offers noticeable advantages in cargo volume and trunk access.

Notably: the Tarraco has 7.9 in (+12%) longer cargo length with the seats folded down, 12.6 in (+40%) more length when the first row of seats is upright, the trunk depth (loading edge to floor) is 2 in (+500%) greater, and the trunk opening is 4.7 in (+12%) wider than the Škoda Elroq.

Smaller differences under 10% include a higher trunk opening (+2.8 in / +9%) and a slightly higher loading edge (+2.4 in / +9%); the narrowest point is practically identical (+0.4 in / +1%).

What Impact Do These Differences Have on Usability?

More length (12% or 40%) means the Tarraco is significantly better suited for long items — such as skis, long boards, furniture parts, or bulky moving loads. The 4.7 in wider opening makes loading and unloading wide or bulky cargo easier and reduces maneuvering when loading.

The significantly greater trunk depth provides more usable volume and allows cargo to sit deeper and thus more stable. This is advantageous for shopping bags, luggage, or heavier items that shift less during braking.

However, the Tarraco’s loading edge is slightly higher (+2.4 in / +9%), which minimally complicates lifting very heavy items — though this effect is moderate.

The smaller differences (opening height, loading edge, narrowest width) have only minor practical effects: the slightly higher opening of the Tarraco marginally improves handling of tall items, and the minimal extra width at the narrowest point is negligible.

Conclusion: If you often transport long or wide items, need lots of volume, or want more stable loading, the SEAT Tarraco is the more practical choice. For normal everyday use, the models differ less noticeably.
