Trunk comparison: Skoda Elroq vs Volvo V90

Key Differences and Implications for Usability

The Volvo V90 offers noticeable length and opening advantages in the trunk compared to the Škoda Elroq: with the seats folded down, the V90 is 10.6 in (16%) longer, and with the first row upright, it is even 13.4 in (43%) longer.

Additionally, the width of the trunk opening on the V90 is 4.3 in (11%) larger than on the Elroq. In contrast, the loading edge of the Škoda Elroq sits 3.1 in (13%) higher above the ground than the Volvo.

In practice, this means: The Volvo V90 is significantly better suited for transporting long or bulky items (e.g., furniture, building materials, skis, longer luggage) because more usable interior length is available—even with the rear seat upright.

The larger opening makes loading and unloading wider objects easier and reduces maneuvering when sliding in bulky cargo.

For the Škoda Elroq, the higher loading edge results in more lifting effort when placing heavy items into the trunk; this is noticeably less comfortable during frequent loading (moving boxes, heavy groceries, strollers) compared to the Volvo with its lower loading edge.

The slightly higher opening height of the Elroq (+2.4 in / 9%) can, however, make it easier to load tall items, but this is not a major difference.

Other differences are negligible: The trunk depth differs by only 0.4 in, and the narrowest interior width is only 2 in larger in the V90—both have little practical relevance in everyday use.

In summary: Those who frequently transport long or wide loads and want easier loading and unloading have a clear advantage with the Volvo V90; those who occasionally prefer a higher pass-through height or a more compact overall solution can live with the Škoda Elroq but must accept more lifting effort.
