Trunk comparison: BMW X2 vs Peugeot 3008
Key Differences (Summary)
The Peugeot 3008 differs from the BMW X2 mainly in two aspects: The trunk opening of the 3008 is 4.7 in (18%) higher than that of the X2, and the depth of the trunk (distance from loading edge → trunk floor) is 0.8 in (22%) larger.
All other values differ only slightly: with folded seats, the 3008 is +0.4 in longer, with the front seats upright +2.4 in, the narrowest trunk width +0.4 in, and the opening width +1.2 in; the loading edge height is the same.
What are the practical implications of these differences?
The higher trunk opening of the Peugeot 3008 (plus 4.7 in / 18%) is practically significant: it makes loading tall or bulky items easier, allows standing boxes, furniture parts, or suitcase sizes upright, and reduces the risk of hitting the top when maneuvering.
For users who frequently transport larger, tall cargo (e.g., plants, furniture pieces, ski equipment in a bag), this provides a noticeable advantage.
The greater depth of the 3008 (plus 0.8 in, stated here as 22%) means that the usable space from the loading edge area to the trunk floor offers slightly more "sink-in depth." Purely volumetrically, the gain is small (only 0.8 in), but practically it allows somewhat better stacking behind the loading edge and can prevent items from protruding over the loading edge.
Since the loading edge height is the same, this does not increase the lifting effort when loading — the 0.8 in difference is absolute but manageable: noticeable with optimized loading, but not a game changer for everyday use.
The other, smaller differences (length and width advantages of the 3008 of 1–2.4 in, opening width +1.2 in) improve flexibility minimally but are mostly negligible in practice: standard suitcases, shopping bags, or strollers fit similarly well in both models.
Overall, this results in: The Peugeot 3008 offers clearer advantages mainly for tall or bulky loads due to the higher opening; in most everyday transport cases, the differences are moderate.
