Trunk comparison: Hyundai i10 vs Seat Tarraco

Key Differences (>10%)

The SEAT Tarraco offers a significantly longer cargo space: +27.2 in (58%) more length with the seats folded down and even +25.6 in (138%) more length with the first row upright compared to the Hyundai i10. The width of the trunk opening is 9.8 in (28%) larger in the Tarraco.

In contrast, the Hyundai i10 has a significantly greater depth between the loading edge and trunk floor: +4.7 in (200%) compared to the Tarraco.

Impact on Usability

The larger length and opening dimensions of the Tarraco make it more practical for long or bulky cargo (skis, slats, furniture parts) as well as for moves and luggage on long trips: longer items can be accommodated more easily, and the significantly wider opening simplifies loading and unloading wide parts.

The greater depth (loading edge → trunk floor) in the Hyundai i10 means that cargo sits deeper in the vehicle. This can be advantageous when items need to be transported securely and recessed (less shifting, lower stacking height).

However, in practice, this is disadvantageous for heavy or bulky luggage: lifting over the loading edge and maneuvering into the deeper well requires more effort and is less comfortable than with a flatter loading surface.

Smaller differences (e.g., loading edge height above the road, width at the narrowest point, height of the trunk opening) are relatively insignificant for everyday use; they only marginally affect usability. Overall, those who regularly transport long or wide cargo benefit greatly from the Tarraco; those who occasionally want to securely recess smaller loads will find a deeper loading floor in the i10.
