Trunk comparison: BMW X2 vs Peugeot 308 SW 3-row

Key Differences

There are clear differences in usable trunk space: when all seats are folded down, the BMW X2 offers a cargo area that is 8.3 in (14%) longer than the Peugeot 308 SW; when the first row of seats is upright, the Peugeot has a trunk that is 5.9 in (16%) longer than the BMW.

With all seats upright, the BMW X2 has a significantly larger advantage: it offers 22.8 in more trunk space (166%) compared to the Peugeot.

The trunk opening height is 9.1 in (35%) higher on the Peugeot, and the width of the trunk opening is 5.5 in (14%) larger on the Peugeot.

The depth of the trunk (loading edge to floor) is 2 in (125%) greater on the BMW, while the loading edge of the BMW is 9.4 in (43%) higher above the ground. The narrowest width inside the trunk differs hardly at all (Peugeot +0.4 in / 1%).

Impact on Usability

These differences affect various everyday situations: The BMW X2 clearly has the advantage when all seats must remain upright or when longer items need to be loaded with the seats folded down — it offers significantly more cargo length in both scenarios.

The higher trunk floor height (greater depth) in the BMW also provides more space behind the loading edge for longer or bulkier items. However, the significantly higher loading edge of the BMW makes lifting heavy items more strenuous and less convenient.

The Peugeot scores points for easy loading of tall or wide items: the higher opening and larger opening width make it easier to load bulky, tall items and reduce maneuvering when loading.

When the front row of seats remains upright (e.g., full passenger occupancy), the Peugeot also offers more usable trunk space than the BMW.

Conclusion: For users who regularly travel with all seats occupied or want to transport long items, the BMW X2 is more advantageous in practice. For users who frequently load tall or wide items or often travel with full seating and still need to accommodate luggage, the Peugeot 308 SW (3-row) is more practical.
