Trunk comparison: Skoda Elroq vs Volvo XC60

Key Differences

The Volvo XC60 clearly offers advantages in trunk length and width: when the first row of seats is upright, the trunk of the Volvo XC60 is 6.3 in (+20%) longer than that of the Škoda Elroq, and at the narrowest point, the trunk width of the Volvo is 4.3 in (+11%) greater.

Smaller differences concern the height of the trunk opening (Škoda +0.8 in / +3%), the depth from the loading edge to the floor (Škoda +0.4 in / ~0%), as well as the loading edge height above the road (Volvo +1.2 in / +4%) and the width of the trunk opening (Volvo +3.5 in / +9%).

When all seats are folded down, the Volvo is 4.3 in (+7%) longer in the front.

Impact on Usability

Due to the 20% greater loading length with the first row upright, the Volvo XC60 is significantly better suited for longer items (e.g., furniture parts, skis, long boxes) without needing to fold down the seats.

The 11% greater width at the narrowest point also means bulky or wide items need to be pushed sideways or at an angle less often; larger suitcases, strollers, or wide boxes fit more easily.

The Škoda Elroq scores points with some practical details: The trunk opening is 0.8 in higher and the loading floor slightly deeper, which together with the lower loading edge makes loading heavy or bulky items ergonomically easier—especially when frequently loading and unloading heavy loads.

However, these advantages are smaller than the length and width advantages of the Volvo and affect handling more than maximum cargo capacity.

Conclusion: For regularly transporting long or wide loads (skis, long planks, wide boxes), the Volvo XC60 is the more practical choice. Those who often lift heavy, bulky items and rely on a slightly lower loading edge and higher opening will benefit more from the Škoda Elroq.
