Trunk comparison: Audi A6 Sedan vs Hyundai Elantra GT Wagon

Key Differences

The most noticeable differences concern the vertical dimensions of the cargo area: The height of the trunk opening of the Hyundai i30 Wagon is 6.7 in (34%) higher than that of the Audi A6. On the other hand, the depth of the trunk (loading edge to trunk floor) in the Audi A6 is 4.7 in (1100%) greater than in the i30 Wagon.

All other mentioned differences (e.g., longer trunk length of the A6 by 6.7 in or 10%, width differences of 0–1.6 in, loading edge height +1.6 in in the A6) are ≤10% and thus rather minor.

Impact on Usability

The higher trunk opening of the i30 makes it easier to load tall or bulky items vertically (e.g., furniture pieces, large boxes).

Together with the slightly lower loading edge, this makes the i30 more practical for frequent handling of bulky, tall items and for users who value easy access and headroom in the cargo area.

The significantly greater depth in the Audi A6 indicates more usable interior space in depth: longer items can be loaded further in, and overall there is more cargo volume behind the loading edge.

This makes the A6 more suitable for longer transports or larger cargo volumes, especially when the seats are folded down. This is offset by the somewhat higher loading edge, which makes lifting heavy loads a bit more strenuous.

Conclusion: Those who frequently want to store long or bulky goods horizontally benefit from the Audi A6. Those who often load tall, bulky items vertically or prefer easy, ergonomic access are better served by the Hyundai i30 Wagon. Smaller length and width differences are usually negligible in everyday use.
