Trunk comparison: BMW X1 vs Peugeot 3008

Key Differences

The most noticeable difference is in trunk depth: the Peugeot 3008 offers +3.1 in (267%) more depth between the loading edge and trunk floor than the BMW X1. Additionally, the loading edge of the Peugeot is +3.5 in (13%) higher above the road.

Other deviations are smaller: with the front seats upright, the Peugeot is +3.5 in (10%) longer (borderline 10%), the height of the trunk opening is +2.4 in (8%) larger on the Peugeot, the width of the opening is +2 in (5%) larger on the BMW, and the narrowest width in the cargo area is the same for both models.

With the rear seats fully folded down, the models differ by only +1.2 in (2%).

Impact on Usability

The significantly greater trunk depth of the Peugeot means more usable interior height or volume behind the loading edge; longer or taller items can be stored deeper in the cargo space.

However, the higher load floor profile of the Peugeot makes loading and unloading heavy or bulky items more strenuous because more lifting height is required.

The slightly greater cargo length with the front seats upright (about 10%, borderline) also favors the Peugeot when it comes to additional storage space without folding the seats.

The BMW X1 scores points in handling heavy or wider items: the lower loading edge makes lifting easier, and the slightly larger opening width makes inserting wide objects simpler, even though the interior is somewhat smaller in depth and (with the front seats upright) in length.

For users who frequently have to lift heavy shopping bags, furniture pieces, or bulky items over the loading edge, the BMW is more practical. For users who primarily value larger interior volume and the ability to store items deeper, the Peugeot is more advantageous.
