Trunk comparison: Dacia Duster vs Peugeot 5008

Key Differences (>10%)

Five clear differences stand out from the data: The Peugeot 5008 has a 9.4 in (≈15%) longer cargo area with the seats folded down, while the Dacia Duster offers a 24.8 in (≈185%) longer trunk length with the seats upright.

The Duster also has a significantly greater loading depth: +2.8 in (≈700%) in the distance from the loading edge to the trunk floor compared to the 5008. In width, the Peugeot leads: the narrowest point in the trunk is 5.9 in (≈15%) wider, and the trunk opening itself is also 5.9 in (≈15%) wider than in the Duster.

Other values such as opening height (+0.4 in) or loading edge height (+2.8 in / 10%) are below or at the 10% threshold and are therefore less dominant.

Implications for Usability

For practical everyday use and transport, this means: The Dacia Duster is better suited if you often travel with all seats occupied and still need a lot of storage space.

The significantly longer trunk length with upright seats and the much greater loading depth allow for more volume in the normal seating configuration and make it easier to store taller or lower-lying cargo. However, the loading edge is slightly higher, which minimally complicates lifting heavy items.

The Peugeot 5008 scores when transporting wider or flatter items: with the seats folded down, it offers more length, and the greater width at the narrowest point as well as the wider opening make loading and storing bulky, wide items much easier.

The vehicle is thus overall better suited for bulky goods or cargo that needs to be placed crosswise (e.g., furniture parts, large boxes, or strollers).

In short: If you need more usable space with the rear bench occupied, you are more likely to choose the Duster; if you frequently transport wide, flat, or very long cargo with the seats folded down, you benefit more from the 5008.
