Trunk comparison: Dacia Jogger vs Hyundai IONIQ

Key Differences and Impact on Usability

The Dacia Jogger offers significantly more space for bulky and tall items overall, while the Hyundai IONIQ has some design features that affect loading differently.

With the front seats upright, the Jogger is 9.8 in (27%) longer, meaning: with all seats occupied, significantly more cargo can be stored behind the seats in the Jogger — advantageous for large shopping trips, suitcases, or long cargo without folding down the seat rows.

The Jogger's trunk opening is 10.2 in (39%) higher, making it easier to load larger and taller items into the interior (e.g., boxes, strollers, tall cartons). A higher opening often reduces bumping when loading.

The IONIQ has a greater trunk depth (loading edge → floor) by 1.6 in (50%), providing a deeper cargo area below the loading edge. This creates additional storage space but depending on the design reduces the flat loading surface and can make sliding in flat items more difficult.

The IONIQ's loading edge is 3.1 in (12%) higher above the road, which makes lifting heavy loads into the trunk less ergonomic. In the Jogger, the loading edge is lower and thus physically easier to lift into.

The narrowest point in the trunk is 8.3 in (21%) wider in the Jogger, meaning wide items fit much more easily — e.g., strollers sideways, wide furniture parts, or multiple bags side by side.

Smaller differences include: when all seats are folded down, the Jogger is 6.3 in (10%) longer and the width of the trunk opening is 3.5 in (10%) larger in the Jogger — these roughly 10% differences are noticeable but less significant than the points mentioned above.

Summary of practical consequences: Those who frequently transport tall, wide, or bulky cargo (e.g., families with strollers, active users with sports equipment, occasional furniture transport) clearly benefit from the Jogger due to the higher opening, more width, and more usable length with the rear seats upright.

Those who more often load smaller, heavier items and can use the deeper trunk floor will find a deeper cargo area in the IONIQ but pay for it with a higher loading edge that makes lifting more difficult.
