Škoda trunk sizes: a complete guide to models with tables and comparisons

Car selection Škoda often comes down to one key question: “How much stuff will fit in the trunk?” From compact Citigo to spacious Kodiaq, each model of the Czech brand offers unique solutions for the transport of goods. But how to understand the numbers if manufacturers indicate the volume according to different standards? In this article we not only collected current trunk sizes for all Škoda models for 2026, but also revealed nuances that will help you choose the ideal option for your needs.

You will learn how to correctly measure the useful volume (spoiler: not always according to the standard VDA), which models are the leaders in terms of load capacity with the seats folded, and why Octavia Combi remains a favorite among station wagons. And for those who plan to transport oversized cargo, there is a separate section with exact dimensions of trunk openings and tips for optimizing space.

Standards for measuring trunk volume: what Škoda numbers hide

When Škoda states that the trunk Kodiaq accommodates 270 liters, and Octavia — 640 liters, we are talking about different measurement methods. Manufacturers use three main standards:

• 📏 VDA (Verband der Automobilindustrie) - a German standard that takes into account the space up to the window level (used for most Škoda models).
• 📦 SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) - American method, where the volume is measured to the ceiling (usually gives + 10-15% to VDA).
• 🚗 Real test - when the trunk is loaded with standard boxes (for example, Euro-pallets), as they do in reviews Auto Bild.

For example, trunk Škoda Superb Combi according to standard VDA has volume 660 liters, but when loading by SAE this figure rises to 760 liters. A difference of 100 liters can be critical if you often transport bulky items. To avoid mistakes, always check which standard the data is given in the technical specifications.

⚠️ Attention: In some models (for example, Škoda Kamiq) the manufacturer indicates the trunk volume excluding spare wheel. If you plan to use a full-size spare tire, the actual volume will decrease by 30-50 liters.

How to fold the seats in a Škoda to increase the trunk: step-by-step instructions

Even the most spacious trunk can be made even larger if the rear seats are folded correctly. However, depending on the model Škoda this process has its own nuances. Let's look at the most popular options.

Škoda Octavia Combi (2020–2026)

B Octavia third and fourth generations seats fold in proportions 40:20:40, which allows you to transport long cargo (for example, skis) without losing passenger seats. To fold the seats:

1. Pull the lever on the back of the seat (located at the base of the headrest).
2. Tilt the backrest forward until it locks.
3. To level the floor, lift the seat cushion up (on some trim levels this is done automatically).

Please note: in versions with a panoramic roof, the trunk height after folding the seats is reduced by 5–7 cm due to the protruding mechanism.

Škoda Kodiaq (2017–2026)

B Kodiaq the second row of seats folds in proportion 60:40, and the third row (if any) is removed completely. Important points:

Make sure the front seats are moved all the way forward|

Remove the second row headrests (they interfere with folding)|

Check that the seat belts are not caught under the mechanism|

Use the lever on the side of the backrest rather than pulling on the backrest itself-->

After folding the second row, an almost flat floor is formed, but a small threshold remains in height 3–4 cm. This may make loading heavy items difficult, so Škoda optionalize retractable cargo floor (option code: 3E6 061 151).

⚠️ Attention: In 7-seater versions Kodiaq The third row of seats cannot be folded separately - it is completely retractable, which takes up additional space in the trunk (about 50 liters).

Dimensions of the trunk opening: why is this more important than volume

Trunk volume in liters is good, but in practice it is much more important width and height of loading opening. For example, in Škoda Octavia Combi the trunk holds 640 liters, but its opening is wide 110 cm allows you to download Euro pallet (80×120 cm) only diagonally. And in Superb Combi with opening 115 cm the tray fits in freely.

Here are the key opening dimensions for popular models:

• 📏 Fabia Combi: width - 102 cm, height - 75 cm (suitable for a bicycle when disassembled).
• 📏 Karoq: width - 108 cm, height - 80 cm (can load a washing machine of standard sizes).
• 📏 Kodiaq: width - 120 cm, height - 83 cm (one of the widest openings in the class).
• 📏 Enyaq: width - 105 cm, height - 77 cm (limited due to the location of the battery).

If you frequently transport furniture or building materials, pay attention to height of the loading opening from the ground. U Škoda it varies from 68 cm (Citigo) to 85 cm (Superb Combi). The higher the opening, the more convenient it is to load heavy objects, but the higher the risk of damaging the bumper during loading.

Comparison of Škoda with competitors: who offers more space

The Czech brand is famous for its practicality, but how do you like its models? compared to competitors? Let's look at the most popular comparisons.

Škoda Octavia Combi vs Volkswagen Golf Variant

Both models are built on the platform MQB, but Octavia wins in all respects:

• 📦 Trunk: 640 l vs 611 l Golf.
• 📏 Opening width: 110 cm vs 105 cm.
• 💺 Cargo compartment length with seats folded: 185 cm vs 180 cm.

The difference seems insignificant, but in practice Octavia placed on 1–2 suitcases morethan in Golf Variant.

Škoda Kodiaq vs Hyundai Santa Fe

The Korean crossover is traditionally considered more spacious, but the trunk Kodiaq not inferior:

• 📦 Volume (5-seater version): 270 l vs 571 l Santa Fe (but the Czech has a higher ceiling!).
• 📏 Width between wheel arches: 108 cm vs 105 cm.
• 🔄 U Kodiaq more convenient folding system for the third row (one motion vs two stages Hyundai).

Main advantage Škoda — flat floor after folding the seats, whereas Santa Fe noticeable thresholds remain.

Why does the Kodiaq have such a small trunk in the 7-seater version?

The reason is the design: the third row of seats in Kodiaq located above the second to provide sufficient ground clearance (clearance) for all-wheel drive. This results in the space under the trunk floor being taken up by the seat folding mechanisms and the spare wheel. As a result, with the third row raised, there is only 240 liters - less than many hatchbacks.
