Trunk comparison: Skoda Kamiq vs Durchschnitt SUV

Key Differences
The average SUV offers a +4.3 in (≈15%) longer trunk with the first row of seats upright compared to the Škoda Kamiq. In contrast, the Škoda Kamiq has a trunk depth from the loading edge to the trunk floor that is +4.3 in (≈220%) greater than the average SUV.
Other, smaller differences: With the seats folded down, the average SUV has only +3.1 in (≈5%) more length.
The trunk opening of the Kamiq is +2.8 in (≈9%) higher, while the loading edge of the average SUV is +2 in (≈7%) higher above the road. The narrowest width and the width of the opening are each +1.6 in (≈4%) larger on the average SUV.
Impact on Usability
The +4.3 in (15%) longer cargo space of the average SUV with seats upright makes it more practical for everyday luggage and longer items without folding down the rear seats (e.g., suitcases, longer boxes, sports equipment).
The significantly greater depth of the Kamiq (loading edge → floor) creates a deeper cargo well. Practical consequences:
- More cargo volume in usable depth and better tie-down/storage options for angular or tall loads that sit deeper and thus more stably.
- Combined with the lower loading edge of the Kamiq (the counterpart on the average SUV is +2 in higher), this results in an overall lower lift height from the road to the trunk floor — making it easier to lift heavy items into the cargo area.
- For very flat, rollable luggage, the deep cargo well can make rolling in and out less convenient because a larger step or repositioning is needed (deeper "unloading" into the well). Also, the deep well can obscure the loading edge, which may complicate loading bulky, long items.
In short: Those who frequently transport long items without folding seats benefit more from the average SUV.
Those who value lower lift height, a deeper cargo well, and better load stability (e.g., heavy or tall items that should sit securely in a cargo recess) are better off with the Škoda Kamiq. Width differences and the higher opening of the Kamiq are minor and only slightly affect everyday usability.
