Trunk comparison: Hyundai i10 vs Renault Austral

Main Differences

In terms of cargo volume, the Renault Austral is significantly larger: with the seats folded down, the trunk is 16.5 in (36%) longer than in the Hyundai i10, and with the first row of seats upright, it is even 15.4 in (83%) longer.

The width of the trunk opening also favors the Austral: the opening is 8.7 in (24%) wider than in the i10. On the other hand, the Hyundai i10 has some advantages in practical accessibility: the height of the trunk opening is 3.5 in (12%) greater in the i10, and the depth from the loading edge to the trunk floor is 3.9 in (125%) greater in the i10. Additionally, the loading edge in the Renault Austral is 3.1 in (11%) higher above the road than in the i10. The narrowest width inside the trunk differs only slightly (i10 +1.6 in / 4%) and is therefore negligible.

Impact on Usability

For transport tasks where volume and length matter (e.g., furniture, long items, larger amounts of luggage), the Renault Austral is the more practical choice: the significantly longer trunk with folded or upright seats and the wider opening make it easier to load bulky or wide cargo and provide overall more storage space. For everyday situations involving frequent loading and unloading of heavy or tall items, the Hyundai i10 is advantageous: the greater opening height and larger depth of the cargo area, as well as the lower loading edge, make lifting and stowing easier and more comfortable. In short: Austral = more cargo space and better accommodation of long/wide loads; i10 = easier, more ergonomic loading and unloading in daily use.
