Trunk comparison: Skoda Elroq vs VW Touran

Key Differences

With all seating rows upright, the Škoda Elroq offers significantly more cargo space: the trunk is 18.1 in or 135% larger than in the VW Touran. However, if the first row remains upright, the VW Touran has a clear length advantage: the trunk is 8.3 in or 26% longer than the Elroq.

The height of the Touran's trunk opening is 3.9 in or 13% higher, while the Elroq's loading edge is 2.8 in or 11% higher above the ground.

Other differences are minor: the Touran has only about ~7% more length with seats fully folded down, trunk depth is identical, and width differences range between 1–5%.

Impact on Usability

Škoda Elroq — advantage with full occupancy: The strong volumetric advantage with all seats upright makes the Elroq more practical for families or users who often travel with five people and still want to carry a lot of luggage or shopping. The higher loading edge (by 2.8 in) slightly complicates lifting heavy items.

VW Touran — flexible for longer and taller loads: The Touran is better suited when longer items need to be transported without fully folding seats down (26% longer cargo space with the first row upright).

The higher trunk opening facilitates loading tall items, and the lower loading edge makes handling heavy loads generally easier.

Conclusion: For regular trips with full occupancy and lots of luggage, the Elroq is more practical. Those who frequently load longer or taller items or value a lower loading edge benefit more from the Touran. Minor width and depth differences are usually negligible in practice.
