Trunk comparison: Hyundai i10 vs Opel Grandland

Key Differences

The Opel Grandland offers significantly more cargo space: with the seats folded down, the trunk is 20.1 in (43%) longer and with the first row upright, 16.5 in (89%) longer than the Hyundai i10. The width of the Grandland's trunk opening is 7.1 in (20%) larger, making it easier to load wide or bulky items.

The Hyundai i10, on the other hand, has a slight advantage in cargo depth and minimum width: the depth (loading edge to floor) is 0.8 in (13%) greater in the i10, and the narrowest width is 0.8 in wider (2%, not highlighted) in the i10. The loading edge of the Grandland is 3.1 in (11%) higher above the road than the i10. Differences in trunk opening height are negligible at 0.4 in (1%).

Impact on Usability

Practically, this means: For transport tasks requiring a lot of volume or long items, the Opel Grandland is clearly superior — it offers significantly more length and a wider opening, making it easier to slide bulky items and long furniture in and out.

Folding down the seats creates considerably more usable cargo space.

The Hyundai i10 scores with a lower loading edge and slightly greater depth from edge to floor: loading and unloading heavy items is more ergonomic because you have to lift less high, and the additional depth can help stabilize flat items. For very wide items, the narrower opening can be limiting.

The higher loading edge of the Grandland requires somewhat more effort to lift heavy items in, but its wider opening and overall larger cargo area offer advantages for larger or bulkier transport tasks.

Both are usable for everyday shopping and occasional transport in urban settings; however, those who regularly carry larger or longer loads will benefit significantly from the Grandland.
