Trunk comparison: Skoda Superb Wagon vs Volvo V90
Key Differences
The comparison shows several differences in trunk dimensions: The Škoda Superb Wagon offers a longer cargo floor with the seats folded down (+7.5 in / 10%), the Volvo V90 is slightly longer with the rear seat upright (+3.1 in / 8%) and has a wider loading opening (+3.1 in / 8%) as well as more width at the narrowest point (+1.6 in / 4%). The loading edge of the Volvo is slightly higher (+0.8 in / 3%). Two larger differences are particularly noteworthy:

Impact on Usability
The significantly higher opening in the Škoda makes loading tall items noticeably easier — fewer head or edge collisions, better handling of bulky items, and overall more vertical clearance when loading. The much greater depth (loading edge → floor) in the Škoda means more usable vertical volume and a deeper cargo well; this facilitates stacking and storing bulky or irregularly shaped items but may require a bit more bending when reaching inside. The Volvo scores in width and usable length with the rear seat upright: a wider and larger opening as well as more width at the narrowest point make it easier to load wide items or large boxes without folding down the rear seat. For everyday use with the rear seat often upright, the Volvo is therefore more practical. The slightly higher loading edge of the Volvo makes lifting heavy items minimally more strenuous compared to the lower entry of the Škoda. Conclusion: Those who frequently transport tall or deeply stacked cargo (e.g., bulky, tall items or lots of luggage) benefit from the significantly higher opening and much greater depth of the Škoda Superb Wagon. Those who more often transport wide or elongated cargo with the rear seat upright and need a wider loading opening are better served by the Volvo V90.
