Trunk comparison: Skoda Kamiq vs VW Caddy Wagon

Key Differences

The comparison reveals several notable differences: With the seats folded down, the Škoda Kamiq offers a cargo area that is 14.6 in longer (+32%), while the Volkswagen Caddy Wagon has a cargo area that is 13 in longer (+45%) with the first row of seats upright.

The Caddy's trunk opening is significantly more generous: 11.8 in higher (+36%) in opening height, 5.5 in wider (+14%) at the narrowest point, and the overall opening width is 4.3 in larger (+11%) than the Kamiq.

The Kamiq's depth from the loading edge to the trunk floor is 5.5 in greater (+700%), and its loading edge is 5.1 in higher (+23%) above the ground.

Impact on Usability

These differences lead to clearly distinct strengths: The Kamiq, with its significantly longer cargo length when seats are folded, is better suited for long, flat items (e.g., long furniture parts, slats, skis).

However, the higher trunk depth combined with the higher loading edge means heavy or bulky items must be lifted higher, and smaller luggage sits deeper in the trunk — making loading and unloading heavy loads more difficult.

The Caddy scores in everyday use and when transporting bulky or tall items: the higher trunk opening, larger opening and pass-through width, and greater width at the narrowest point make it easier to load bulky, wide, or tall cargo (strollers, large boxes, bulky furniture parts).

Additionally, the Caddy's longer cargo area with the first row of seats upright is more practical when passengers are regularly carried and a lot of luggage needs to be transported simultaneously.
