Trunk comparison: Hyundai IONIQ vs Volvo XC60

Key Differences (highlighted: >10%)

The Volvo XC60 offers a significantly larger trunk opening height: +3.1 in (≈12%) compared to the Hyundai IONIQ. Additionally, the narrowest width in the trunk is +4.3 in (≈11%) greater in the Volvo, and the width of the trunk opening is +7.1 in (≈19%) wider than in the IONIQ.

In contrast, the Hyundai IONIQ has a notably greater trunk depth (distance from loading edge to trunk floor): +4.7 in (≈1100%) compared to the Volvo XC60.

What impact does this have on usability?

Width and opening height in the Volvo XC60: - The greater width at the narrowest point and the significantly wider opening make the XC60 more practical for wide or bulky items (strollers, wide boxes, furniture parts). - The higher opening height makes it easier to load tall items, as less tilting or angling is required.

Trunk depth in the Hyundai IONIQ: - The much deeper cargo space in the IONIQ means volume is arranged deeper; loose or flat items can be better accommodated and are less likely to shift. - At the same time, the greater depth can make lifting heavy items over the loading edge more difficult because more lifting effort is needed (especially since the IONIQ’s loading edge is only slightly higher: +0.8 in).

In summary: - If you often load wide or tall items, the Volvo XC60 is more practical due to its larger opening and interior width. - If you frequently handle flat or heavy loads that should rest in a deeper cargo well (e.g., secure storage of luggage), the Hyundai IONIQ offers advantages due to its greater depth.

Regarding smaller differences: The XC60 has a slightly larger cargo volume with seats folded down (+5.9 in, ≈9%) and with the first row upright (+2 in, ≈5%); these differences are moderate and affect practical usability less strongly than the points highlighted above.
