Trunk comparison: Citroen C3 vs Hyundai i10

Key Differences and Implications for Usability

The Citroën C3 offers significantly more cargo length: +7.1 in (≈15%) longer with seats folded down and +7.9 in (≈43%) longer with the front row upright than the Hyundai i10. This makes the C3 considerably more practical for long items (skis, furniture parts, long boxes) and for transport tasks where the rear seats must remain in place.

Additionally, the C3 has a notably greater trunk depth (distance from loading edge to trunk floor) with +2 in (≈28%), allowing more volume near the floor and making it easier to stack or store taller items.

On the other hand, the C3 has a higher loading edge: +3.1 in (≈11%) higher above the road, which makes lifting heavy items into the vehicle noticeably more strenuous than with the i10.

Smaller differences favoring the Hyundai i10 concern the opening: the trunk opening is 1.2 in (≈4%) higher, the narrowest trunk width is 2.8 in (≈7%) wider, and the opening width is 0.8 in (≈2%) larger.

These minor advantages make loading very wide or bulky items somewhat easier but are less decisive in everyday use than the larger length and depth differences of the C3.
