Trunk comparison: Audi A6 Sedan vs Peugeot 308 SW 3-row

Key Differences

The Audi A6 offers a significantly longer cargo floor with the seats folded down: +19.7 in (34%) compared to the Peugeot.

When all seats are upright, the difference is even more pronounced: the Audi has +31.5 in (229%) more cargo length. The depth of the trunk (loading edge → floor) is 3.1 in (200%) greater in the Audi.

On the other hand, the Peugeot has the higher trunk opening: it is 15.4 in (78%) higher than the Audi, and the width of the opening is 7.5 in (20%) larger. Additionally, the loading edge of the Audi is 3.9 in (18%) higher above the road surface.

Impact on Usability

The significantly greater cargo length and depth of the Audi A6 make it more practical for long items, large suitcases, and when frequently loading with folded seats.

The advantage of the Audi is especially evident when fully occupied: with all seats upright, much more usable cargo space remains, whereas the Peugeot 3-row offers very limited loading options here.

The Peugeot scores points when loading tall or bulky objects: the higher and wider trunk opening makes it easier to insert bulky items and maneuver them sideways. Furthermore, the lower loading edge of the Peugeot (Audi +3.9 in higher) is advantageous when lifting heavy loads – less effort and better ergonomics.

In summary: For transports requiring a lot of cargo length or depth (long items, many suitcases, flexible loading with folded seats), the Audi A6 is the better choice.

Those who more often load tall or bulky parts and value easy lifting and a large opening benefit more from the Peugeot 308 SW (3-row). Smaller differences such as the narrowest trunk width (+0.4 in for the Audi) or trunk length in a certain seat position (+2.8 in, 6%) are negligible in everyday use.
