Trunk comparison: BMW i4 vs Peugeot 3008

Key Differences

The most noticeable differences concern the vertical and lateral dimensions of the Peugeot 3008: the height of the trunk opening is 4.3 in (16%) higher than that of the BMW i4, the loading edge is 3.9 in (14%) higher above the ground, and the width at the narrowest point of the trunk is 5.1 in (15%) larger.

Each of these points exceeds 10% and is therefore particularly relevant.

Other deviations are minor: the BMW i4 has a 3.5 in (5%) longer cargo floor with the seats folded down, and with the first row upright, the Peugeot is only 0.4 in (1%) longer.

The width of the trunk opening (+3.1 in/9%) and the depth of the trunk (+0.4 in/10%) are below or at the 10% threshold and are thus less decisive.

Impact on Usability

Practically, this means: the higher trunk opening of the Peugeot makes it easier to load and unload tall items (e.g., larger boxes, tall suitcases, or bulky upholstered furniture pieces) because more vertical space is available.

The greater minimum width makes the Peugeot better suited for wide cargo that might get stuck at the narrowest point in the BMW.

On the other hand, the significantly higher loading edge of the Peugeot increases the effort required to lift heavy items out of the trunk — loading heavy loads is less comfortable than with the lower BMW i4. For long, flat items (e.g., slats, skis), the BMW i4 is advantageous due to the 3.5 in longer cargo floor with folded seats.

Conclusion: The Peugeot 3008 is more advantageous for transporting tall and wide goods, provided you can manage the higher loading edge or use aids (dollies, ramps). The BMW i4 offers slight advantages when transporting especially long, flat items and for gentle loading of heavy loads due to the lower loading edge.
