Trunk comparison: Hyundai IONIQ vs Skoda Kamiq

Key Differences

The Hyundai IONIQ offers a significantly longer cargo area with the front seats upright: +6.7 in (23%) compared to the Škoda Kamiq.

The Škoda Kamiq, on the other hand, scores with a significantly higher trunk opening and a deeper cargo space: the opening height is +7.1 in (27%) larger, and the depth (distance from loading edge to trunk floor) has a +1.6 in (33%) advantage.

Impact on Usability

Hyundai IONIQ – longer cargo compartment with normal seating configuration: - The 23% longer cargo area with the front seats upright allows longer items (e.g., skis, long boxes, or furniture parts) to be accommodated more easily without folding down seats.

This improves everyday practicality for users who regularly transport longer loads.

Škoda Kamiq – larger opening and more depth: - The 27% greater height of the trunk opening makes loading tall or bulky items easier because the clearance is larger. - The 33% greater depth means more usable volume vertically behind the loading edge; this helps when stacking boxes or storing bulky items but can cause smaller items to sink further inside, making access more difficult.

Other, smaller differences: - With seats fully folded down, the IONIQ is only slightly longer (+3.9 in / 7%) – a moderate advantage for very large cargo areas. - The width at the narrowest point and the width of the opening differ only slightly (±1–9%) and are less decisive in practice. - The loading edge of the IONIQ is slightly higher (+1.6 in / 6%), which makes lifting heavy items a bit more strenuous; the lower loading edge in the Kamiq facilitates easier loading and unloading.

Conclusion

Those who frequently transport long items or need maximum cargo length with normal seating benefit from the Hyundai IONIQ. Those who prefer larger openings and more vertical space for bulky/tall cargo and easier loading will find the Škoda Kamiq the more practical solution.
