Trunk comparison: Skoda Kamiq vs VW ID.4

Key Differences (Summary)

The VW ID.4 has a significantly longer cargo space with the rear seats upright: +7.9 in (27%) compared to the Skoda Kamiq. With the seats fully folded down, there is a smaller advantage in favor of the ID.4 of +6.3 in (10%).

However, the Skoda Kamiq offers a much deeper recess between the loading edge and the trunk floor: +2.4 in (60%) compared to the ID.4. Smaller differences (not >10%) are: the Kamiq's trunk opening is +1.6 in (5%) higher, the ID.4's loading edge is +1.6 in (6%) higher above the ground, the narrowest width in the ID.4's trunk is +0.8 in (2%) larger, and the width of the opening in the ID.4 is +2 in (5%) larger.

What Impact Do These Differences Have on Practical Use?

The significantly longer cargo space of the ID.4 with the rear seats upright makes it more practical for long, straight items without folding the seats (e.g., skis, long boards, or flat furniture).

Even with the seats fully folded down, the ID.4 offers a slight length advantage, making it better suited for bulky, longer loads.

The greater depth of the Kamiq (loading edge to floor) means that cargo can be "sunk" deeper into the vehicle.

This has two practical effects: heavier items can be stored closer to the vehicle floor and thus with a lower center of gravity, and more volume fits below the opening — advantageous for stacked suitcases or bulky, voluminous packages.

However, deeper storage can make loading/unloading very low-lying items somewhat less convenient.

The lower loading edge of the Kamiq (the ID.4's loading edge is +1.6 in higher) noticeably eases lifting heavy items into the vehicle.

In summary: Those who frequently transport heavy but not extremely long cargo (groceries, suitcases, strollers) benefit from the Kamiq. Those who regularly transport long or flat goods while keeping the rear seats upright have the better solution with the ID.4.

Width and opening differences are minor (2–5%) and have little impact on daily usability; they do not shift a clear preference. Conclusion: ID.4 = better for long cargo without folding seats; Kamiq = better for deep, heavier, or low-loading cargo.
