Trunk comparison: Skoda Kamiq vs VW Taigo

Key Differences

The biggest differences lie in the usable cargo space: the VW Taigo offers a loading area that is 3.1 in (≈11%) longer with the rear seat upright, and the trunk depth (loading edge → trunk floor) is 1.6 in (≈25%) greater in the Taigo.

Smaller differences: with the seats folded down, the Taigo is only 1.2 in (≈2%) longer; the trunk opening of the Kamiq is about 1.6 in (≈5%) higher, the loading edge of the Taigo is about 2 in (≈7%) higher above the ground.

The narrowest width of the trunk is the same in both models; the opening width is about 1.2 in (≈3%) larger in the Kamiq.

What are the practical implications of these differences?

The 11% longer loading area of the Taigo with the rear seat upright makes it more practical when regularly transporting long items while still having passengers in the back seat (e.g., skis, slats, long boxes).

The significantly greater depth of the Taigo (≈25%) increases usable volume and allows items to be stored deeper or stacked higher without protruding over the loading edge.

In contrast, the Kamiq facilitates handling heavy or bulky items: its slightly higher trunk opening provides more height when loading, and the lower loading edge makes handling heavy loads somewhat more comfortable. With folded seats and regarding the narrowest width, both models differ very little.

In summary: Those who often transport longer items without folding down the rear seats or want more deep storage capacity benefit more from the Taigo. Those who prefer easier, quicker loading and unloading of large/deep items (less lifting effort, higher opening) are better off with the Kamiq.
