Trunk comparison: Seat Tarraco vs VW ID.3

The Seat Tarraco offers a significantly longer cargo space: with the seats folded down, it is 13.4 in (22%) longer, and with the first row of seats upright, even 13 in (42%) longer than the VW ID.3. The trunk opening of the Tarraco is also advantageous: the opening is 3.1 in (11%) higher and the passage width of the opening is 7.5 in (20%) larger than that of the ID.3. In terms of interior profile, the ID.3 is ahead: the depth from the loading edge to the trunk floor is 3.9 in (167%) greater in the ID.3 than in the Tarraco.

The loading edge height above the ground differs only slightly (+0.8 in / 3%), and the narrowest width of both trunks is the same.

What impact do these differences have on usability?

Practically, this means: the Tarraco is better suited for long and wide cargo — furniture, long slats, or several large suitcases can be more easily accommodated and loaded or unloaded through the higher and wider opening.

For users who regularly transport bulky or long items, the Tarraco therefore offers noticeable advantages.

The ID.3 scores with the significantly deeper trunk floor: this creates more usable volume in depth and allows taller or heavier cargo to be partially stored lower without protruding over the loading edge.

However, the loading edge is slightly higher, which makes lifting heavy items when loading slightly more demanding. For everyday use with boxes, bags, or vertically taller cargo, the greater depth of the ID.3 can be helpful, but it is limited for long or very wide parts.

In short: Tarraco = better access and more length/width; ID.3 = greater installation depth/more deep volume. The choice depends on whether you more often transport long/bulky items or rather voluminous cargo to be stored in depth.
