Trunk comparison: Skoda Elroq vs Tesla Model 3

Key Differences

The biggest differences concern trunk length, opening height, and the depth of the cargo area. Specifically: The Tesla Model 3 offers +7.9 in (12%) more trunk length with the seats folded down and even +10.6 in (34%) when the first row of seats remains upright.

The Škoda Elroq, on the other hand, has a significantly higher trunk opening: +9.4 in (46%) compared to the Tesla. Additionally, the depth from the loading edge to the trunk floor is +3.9 in (1000%) greater in the Tesla.

Impact on Usability

More length in the Tesla (12% / 34%) means: longer items can be transported more easily, even without folding down seats — practical for skis, furniture parts, or long packages.

The greater depth in the Tesla creates more usable volume below the loading edge and keeps cargo lower and more stable, but it can make reaching down to the floor or pulling out heavy items more difficult.

The significantly higher opening of the Elroq (+46%) means: easier loading of tall or bulky items, more convenient vertical loading (e.g., boxes, plants, suitcases). Combined with the higher opening, fitting tall cargo in the Elroq is less problematic, even though it is shorter in length.

Smaller differences such as widths at the narrowest point (+2 in in the Elroq) and loading edge height (+0.8 in in the Elroq) are less relevant in practice and only slightly affect usability.

Conclusion (Brief)

If you often transport long or flat cargo and want to use volume below the loading edge: Tesla Model 3. If you frequently load tall or bulky items and need a high, generous opening: Škoda Elroq.
