Comparison: Boot space Audi A4 vs. competitors 2025

How much cargo can handle this saloon?

Ladies and Gentlemen, may I have the honor of taking you through a high-octane experience where we chart the spaciousness of automotive boots - specifically, the cavernous rear end of the Audi A4. For individuals who consider the boot of a car as crucial as the horsepower figures or the 0-60 time, you're in for a delight. The boot space isn't just a compartment; it's the business-class berth for your golf clubs, your weekly groceries, and the kitchen sink you impulsively bought from IKEA.

Audi A4 - How has the boot space changed over the generations?

Peering into the past, the Audi A4 began its life with the dignity of a 440-liter boot space in the B5 model, twinned with the grace of German engineering. Like a fine wine maturing with age, the boot space expanded - the B6 model whispered 'here's five more liters for your troubles', sitting at 445 liters. Then the B7 strutted in confidently, boasting 460 liters. The A4 B8 didn't just stop there; it thoughtfully provided a round 480 liters, saying 'Pack your grandparent's antique vase, fear not.' Flash forward, and we're currently reveling in the face-lifted B9 model, a true maestro of the boot space concerto, hitting high notes with an impressive 495 liters, not to mention the rear seats serenading us down, gifting a formidable 1495 liters. Not enough to haul a grand piano, but almost there!

The boot space compared to other Audi models

The A4, with its measured 'just right' boot space, sits within a hierarchy of want and need. Consider the plucky Audi A1 Sportback and its 335-liter boot - splendid for a dinky getaway, but park it next to an A4, and you'll see the difference. Even the trendy RS5 Sportback with its similar 465 liters pales slightly when the A4 carries just that little bit more. Striding towards the gentlemen of the pack, the Audi A8 and its 505-liter derrière struts past the A4, subtly reminding us that sometimes, size does matter. But to the SUV brethren like the SQ7, brooding with an 803-liter boot, the A4 can only look on in courteous admiration.

How does the boot space of the Audi A4 compare to it's nearest competitors?

When the A4 sidles up next to its contemporaries, it casts a shadow that commands respect yet provokes competition. Its boot space swims in the current against the likes of the svelte Alfa Romeo Giulia, offering parity with 480 liters, and edges out the Hyundai Sonata by just enough to declare victory with its 430 liters. Onward to the Mazda 6 - a rival that challenges with an equal playing field of 500 liters. Yet, some rivals extend beyond just adversary, into realms of envy - the Skoda Superb's theatrically sized 625-liter boot space, forces the A4 to tip its headlight in acknowledgement. It's a war of the boots, a battleground of luggage, and the A4 stands proud amongst its peers, as it should.
