Comparison: Boot space Hyundai i30 vs. competitors 2025

How much cargo can handle this Schrägheck?

Ah, the Hyundai i30, a vehicle as practical as a Swiss Army knife, but significantly larger and much less likely to be confiscated at airport security. This stout little motorcar has been ferrying families, hauling groceries, and somehow fitting into those 'compact only' parking spaces since its inception. But we're not here to talk about its cat-like agility or the engineering prowess behind its fuel efficiency. No, today we're fixated on the cavernous abyss behind its rear seats - the boot space.

Hyundai i30 - How has the boot space changed over the generations?

Through the years, from its debut in 2007 to the current model gallantly gracing our roads, the boot space of the i30 has seen as much evolution as the phone in your pocket. Initially, our cargo-holding hero started with a respectable 340 liters of space. Not too shabby for hauling your weekly shop or the occasional flatpack furniture impulse buy. But Hyundai, not content with 'respectable', decided to supercharge this capacity in the successive generation. The second chapter in the i30 saga, emerging in 2012, boasted 378 liters, and they didn't stop there. Fast forward to the latest iteration, the boot space swelled to a generous 395 liters. That's enough room for your groceries, the neighbor's groceries, and possibly a small band's musical instruments.

The boot space compared to other Hyundai models

In the grand tapestry of Hyundai's motley convoy, the i30 presents itself as the meticulously balanced middle child. Not quite as vast as the cavernous Santa Fe or as cozy as the compact yet surprisingly roomy i10, the i30 strikes a harmonious balance. With its boot capacity of 395 liters, it overshadows its Hyundai brethren like the Kona and the i20, making it the ideal choice for those who favor a tad more space without venturing into the realm of SUVs or wagons. It's like Goldilocks choosing the 'just right' porridge, except Hyundai engineered this porridge to fit all your luggage.

How does the boot space of the Hyundai i30 compare to it's nearest competitors?

But how does our capacious chariot fare against the motley crew of competitors scurrying about the urban jungle? Strap in; it's a bumpy comparison ride. Against the dinky ORA Funky Cat, the i30's boot is a veritable chasm, dwarfing the Funky Cat's 228 liters with disdain. The Nissan Micra, with its mere 206 liters, might as well be a glove box in comparison. However, when you stroll into the territory of the Rover (Austin) SD, with its whopping 491 liters, the i30 respectfully tips its hat in acknowledgment of a bigger beast. On an adventurous detour, the Honda Jazz attempts to sing a harmonious tune with 380 liters, pitifully falling short of the i30's capacious offering. Looking across the landscape, the i30 stands tall, not merely for its size but for embodying the perfect equilibrium between utility and urban maneuverability. In this vehicular coliseum, the i30 doesn't always reign supreme in capacity, but it consistently punches above its weight class, leaving many rivals staring enviously at its tailgate.
