Trunk comparison: Dacia Jogger vs Kia Stonic
Key Results
The Dacia Jogger offers significantly more cargo length and width: with the seats folded down, the trunk is +16.5 in (31%) longer, and with the first row of seats upright, even +18.5 in (68%) longer than the Kia Stonic.
The trunk opening of the Jogger is also higher: +5.1 in (16%). At its narrowest point, the Jogger is +6.3 in (15%) wider.
In contrast, the Kia Stonic has a significantly greater depth between the loading edge and the trunk floor (+3.9 in / 125%) and a higher loading edge above the road (+4.3 in / 17%). The width of the trunk opening differs by only +1.6 in (4%) in favor of the Jogger and is therefore of little practical relevance.
What This Means in Practice
Due to the significantly greater cargo length and width, the Jogger is clearly better suited for long or bulky items such as furniture parts, slats, skis, or long moving boxes.
More length with folded seats and with the first row upright also means more flexibility when transporting passengers and cargo simultaneously.
The higher trunk opening of the Jogger makes it easier to load tall items because more clearance height is available. The larger minimum width reduces the need to insert bulky parts at an angle or to turn them multiple times.
The Kia Stonic scores with its lower trunk floor (greater depth between loading edge and floor). This creates a kind of recess that allows for hidden volume and a lower position of the cargo inside the vehicle.
However, this is offset by a higher loading edge: lifting heavy items over a +4.3 in higher threshold is more strenuous and negatively affects ergonomics when loading and unloading.
Conclusion: Those who regularly transport long or wide items or require maximum flexibility with luggage clearly benefit from the Dacia Jogger.
Those who prefer a more compact vehicle with a somewhat lower loading floor and less frequent very long/bulky cargo can live with the Kia Stonic – but must accept a higher loading edge and significantly smaller usable length.
