Trunk comparison: Hyundai i10 vs Opel Astra Wagon

Key Differences

The Opel Astra Sports Tourer offers significantly more cargo length than the Hyundai i10: with the seats folded down, the trunk is +23.6 in (+51%) longer, and with the first row upright even +21.7 in (+117%) longer. The width of the trunk opening on the Astra is also noticeably larger: +6.7 in (+19%).

On the other hand, the Hyundai i10 has a greater depth between the loading edge and the trunk floor: +1.6 in (+29%), and its loading edge sits higher above the road: +3.5 in (+15%). All other stated differences are under 10% and therefore less relevant.

Impact on Usability

Opel Astra Sports Tourer: The significantly greater cargo length—especially with folded seats—makes the Astra much better suited for long items (e.g., furniture, long tools, skis) and for luggage when larger transport needs arise.

The wider trunk opening facilitates loading and unloading wider or bulky items; together, length + opening width result in significantly higher everyday practicality for loading.

Hyundai i10: The i10 scores with more depth between the loading edge and the trunk floor, which increases the usable interior space immediately behind the loading edge and can help when stacking flat items.

However, the loading edge is higher, which makes lifting heavy or bulky loads more difficult—this is noticeably disadvantageous when frequently loading heavy items. Overall, the i10 remains more compact; it is more practical for small city tasks but not for transporting long or large loads.

In summary: For volume, length, and easy loading of bulky items, the Opel Astra Sports Tourer is the clear winner. The Hyundai i10 is more space-saving, has slightly more interior width at the deep spot and greater depth directly behind the loading edge, but suffers from a higher loading edge that complicates loading.
