Trunk comparison: Hyundai i10 vs Kia Stonic

Key Differences (>10%)

The Kia Stonic offers significantly more cargo length than the Hyundai i10: With the seats folded down, the Stonic's trunk is +7.5 in (16%) longer, and with the front seats upright, even +8.7 in (47%) longer.

These two values represent the largest percentage differences and are therefore the most important practical distinctions.

Impact on Practical Use

Due to the greater lengths, the Kia Stonic clearly has advantages when transporting long items (e.g., skis, furniture panels, bulky shopping packages) and allows for more flexible loading concepts: with folded seats, more cargo volume, and with the rear seats upright, significantly longer cargo despite passenger transport.

For families, DIY enthusiasts, or occasional users who regularly need to carry longer or bulky loads, the Stonic is more practical.

Other, Smaller Differences

The depth (loading edge to trunk floor) is the same in both models, so the usable floor area is comparable. The Hyundai i10 has a trunk opening that is +1.2 in (4%) higher, which makes loading tall items somewhat easier.

The Kia Stonic's loading edge is +2.8 in (10%) higher above the ground, making lifting heavy items a bit more strenuous.

The narrowest width in the trunk is +0.8 in (2%) larger in the Stonic, and the width of the opening is +3.5 in (10%) larger — both small differences that hardly affect everyday usability but can offer advantages when storing wider objects.
