Trunk comparison: Audi A6 Sedan vs Peugeot 3008

Key Differences

The Audi A6 has a trunk that is 11 in (17%) longer with the seats folded down than the Peugeot 3008, and with the first row of seats upright, the trunk is 6.3 in (16%) longer.

The trunk opening of the Peugeot 3008, on the other hand, is 11 in (56%) higher than that of the Audi A6. Additionally, the loading edge of the Peugeot is 5.5 in (21%) higher above the ground than the Audi's.

Minor differences: The trunk depth (loading edge to trunk floor) is 0.4 in (≈9%) greater in the Audi, the narrowest trunk width is 0.4 in (≈1%) greater in the Audi, and the width of the trunk opening is 3.1 in (≈9%) greater in the Peugeot — these values are below the 10% threshold.

Impact on Usability

The greater usable length in the Audi A6 makes it ideal for long loads (e.g., slats, furniture parts, longer sports equipment) and generally offers more flexible cargo space, especially when seats are folded down.

The larger cargo space with the first row upright also makes transporting longer items easier without fully folding the seats.

The significantly higher trunk opening of the Peugeot 3008 allows loading taller or bulkier items in an upright position, as the vertical clearance at the rear is greater.

At the same time, the higher loading edge of the Peugeot makes lifting heavy items into the trunk more strenuous; here, the Audi has an advantage with its lower loading edge, making lifting shorter and more ergonomic.

The smaller differences in depth and width are marginal for most everyday tasks: Audi has slightly more depth and narrowest width, Peugeot a somewhat wider opening.

Overall: Audi A6 is better for longer/extensive loads and easier lifting thanks to the lower loading edge, Peugeot 3008 is better for very tall/bulky cargo due to the higher opening but with higher physical effort when loading.
