Trunk comparison: Hyundai i10 vs Hyundai IONIQ

Key Differences

The Hyundai IONIQ offers significantly more cargo length: +17.7 in (38%) with the seats folded down and even +17.3 in (94%) with the front row upright compared to the i10. In contrast, the Hyundai i10 has a higher trunk opening (+6.3 in / 24%) and a greater depth between the loading edge and trunk floor (+2.4 in / 50%).

Impact on Usability

- IONIQ: Due to the significantly greater cargo length, the IONIQ is better suited for long or bulky items (e.g., slats, skis, furniture parts) and for more luggage volume, even when the rear seats are upright. Those who frequently transport long loads or need more usable cargo space clearly benefit from the IONIQ.

- i10: The higher trunk opening and greater depth (loading edge to floor) make the i10 more favorable for tall or bulky cargo that extends vertically (e.g., stacked crates, boxes, tall sports equipment). The higher opening makes it easier to load bulky, tall items, even if the overall length in the trunk is smaller.

Conclusion: IONIQ = clear advantage in length and usable cargo space; i10 = advantage in vertical space and handling of tall/bulky items.
