Trunk comparison: Skoda Elroq vs VW ID.4

Key Differences

The most notable advantage of the VW ID.4 lies in the trunk: with the front seats upright, the cargo space of the ID.4 is +5.5 in (18%) longer than that of the Škoda Elroq. Additionally, the depth of the trunk (loading edge to trunk floor) is significantly greater in the ID.4: +3.5 in (900%).

All other differences are much smaller (each ≤7% or just a few centimeters): with the seats fully folded down only +0.8 in (1%), opening height +1.6 in (5%), loading edge height +2 in (7%), and width differences +1–1.6 in (1–4%).

Impact on Usability

The greater length with the front row upright (+18%) makes the ID.4 better suited for everyday transport of bulky items that need to be carried in the rear without folding the seats down (e.g., suitcases, strollers, gardening supplies).

The significantly greater depth of the cargo space means more usable volume below the loading edge; this helps when stacking boxes or storing taller items that must not extend into the passenger compartment.

Since the total length with folded seats is practically the same (+0.8 in), both vehicles offer similar space for very long items once the rear seats are down.

Smaller differences (opening height, loading edge height, width) only moderately affect everyday usability: a 1.6 in higher opening slightly eases loading tall items, while the 2 in higher loading edge in the ID.4 can make lifting heavy loads somewhat more strenuous.

Width differences are negligible and hardly change usability.
