Trunk comparison: Hyundai Kona vs Skoda Kamiq

Main Differences

Two differences stand out clearly from the measurements: The Hyundai Kona offers a 4.7 in (16%) longer loading length with the rear seats upright than the Škoda Kamiq. Conversely, the depth of the trunk (loading edge to trunk floor) is 4.3 in (220%) greater in the Kamiq than in the Kona.

Other deviations are significantly smaller: Kona has +5.1 in (8%) more length with folded seats, a narrowest width +2 in (5%), and a slightly larger opening width +0.8 in (2%). The Kamiq has a +2.4 in (8%) higher trunk opening and a +0.8 in (3%) higher loading edge above the road.

What are the implications of these differences for usability?

The longer loading length of the Kona with the rear seats upright makes it more practical for long, flat items that need to be transported without folding the seats — e.g., skis, long shelves, pipes, or furniture parts.

If you often need to carry longer items with full seating, the Kona is noticeably more comfortable in everyday use.

The significantly greater depth of the Kamiq means more usable interior height and volume below the loading edge. This is advantageous for stacking boxes, transporting bulky items with greater height, or for items that should lie deeper in the cargo area (less prone to shifting, easier to conceal).

However, a deeper loading floor can make lifting very heavy items somewhat more difficult if they lie further below the loading edge.

The other differences (opening height, loading edge height, width, and opening width) are relatively small and only slightly affect everyday usability: Kona is slightly wider at the narrowest point and at the opening width, which slightly eases loading very wide items.

Kamiq has a somewhat higher opening height, which simplifies reaching in for particularly tall items, as well as a minimally higher loading edge.

Conclusion: If you primarily need to carry longer loads with full seating, the Hyundai Kona is the more practical choice. For more deep volume and better stackability, the Škoda Kamiq is preferable. For typical everyday use, the differences are otherwise moderate.
