Trunk comparison: Audi A6 Avant vs Hyundai Kona

Loading Length

The Audi A6 Avant offers a loading length that is 11.8 in (+18%) longer with the seats folded down and even 12.2 in (+36%) longer with the first row of seats upright compared to the Hyundai Kona. This makes the A6 Avant significantly more suitable for long items (e.g., slats, skis, long boxes) and for loads that require an extended cargo area.

Depth of the Cargo Well

The depth of the trunk (loading edge to trunk floor) is 1.2 in (150%) greater in the Hyundai Kona. This gives the Kona more usable interior height in the cargo area and makes it easier to store tall or bulky items that require less length but more depth.

Opening Height, Loading Edge, and Widths

The trunk opening of the Kona is 2 in (7%) higher than that of the A6, which facilitates loading tall items; however, the loading edge of the Kona is 1.6 in (6%) higher above the ground, which can make lifting heavy items more difficult.

The width of the trunk opening is the same for both models; at the narrowest point, the Kona is slightly wider (+1.6 in, 4%).

Implications for Usability

In short: For transporting long, flat, or extended items, the Audi A6 Avant clearly has the advantage. The Hyundai Kona scores with bulky or tall loads due to its deeper cargo well and slightly higher opening.

Those who frequently lift heavy cargo benefit more from the lower loading edge of the A6; those who often transport bulky tall items find the Kona’s loading geometry more practical. For normal everyday use, both models are similarly flexible due to the same opening width.
