Trunk comparison: BMW i4 vs Peugeot 208

Main Differences (highlighted: >10%)

Cargo space with seats folded down: The BMW i4 offers a cargo space that is 17.7 in (34%) longer with the rear seats folded down than the Peugeot 208. This makes the i4 significantly better suited for long items (skis, furniture parts, bulky packages) and increases the usable cargo volume at maximum load.

Cargo space with front seats upright: With the front seats upright, the cargo space in the BMW i4 is 12.2 in (46%) longer than in the Peugeot 208. In everyday use, this means the i4 can accommodate significantly longer luggage or larger suitcases without folding down seats — practical for business trips or longer transports where the rear seat remains occupied.

Height of the trunk opening: The trunk opening of the Peugeot 208 is 3.1 in (12%) higher than that of the BMW i4. This makes it easier to load and unload taller items; inserting bulky, tall boxes or equipment is more ergonomic in the 208.

Depth of the trunk (loading edge to trunk floor): The Peugeot 208 has a depth between the loading edge and trunk floor that is 3.1 in (80%) greater than the BMW i4. This creates more vertical space behind the loading edge, facilitates stacking luggage directly behind the loading edge, and reduces the risk of cargo hitting the tailgate.

Other, smaller differences

The loading edge of the Peugeot 208 is only 0.4 in (1%) higher above the ground than that of the BMW i4 — practically irrelevant for loading and unloading.

The narrowest width in the trunk of the 208 is 3.1 in (9%) larger, and the width of the trunk opening of the BMW i4 is 3.1 in (9%) larger; both differences are just under 10% and are noticeable in everyday use only with very bulky or wide items.

Conclusion — which usage profiles fit which car?

Those who frequently transport long items or a lot of luggage (without constantly folding down the rear seats) clearly benefit from the BMW i4 due to the significantly greater loading lengths.

Those who often move tall or bulky, but not particularly long items and value a higher trunk opening and more depth behind the loading edge will find better ergonomic conditions in the Peugeot 208. For most everyday users, the width and loading edge differences are negligible.
