Trunk comparison: Ford Focus Wagon vs Peugeot 308 SW 3-row

Key Differences

The Ford Focus Wagon offers significantly more cargo length: with seats in use, the Ford's trunk is +27.2 in (197%) longer than the Peugeot's, and with seats folded down, the Ford remains +15.4 in (27%) longer in front.

The Peugeot scores better in vertical accessibility: the trunk opening is +7.1 in (25%) higher, and the distance between the loading edge and trunk floor (depth) is +0.8 in (100%) greater in the Peugeot.

Other notable differences: the Ford's loading edge is +2.8 in (13%) higher above the road, and the narrowest width of the trunk is +4.7 in (12%) larger in the Ford.

Impact on Usability

Space for long and wide cargo: Due to the significantly greater interior length (both with upright and folded seats), the Ford is the better choice if long items (e.g., slats, skis, furniture) or wide cargo need to be transported regularly. The Ford's larger narrowest width also makes storing wide items easier.

Loading comfort and tall items: The Peugeot is advantageous when frequently loading tall or bulky items. The higher trunk opening and greater depth from the loading edge to the floor provide more vertical space and make it easier to load tall boxes or standing cargo.

Lifting and ergonomic access: The loading edge is +2.8 in higher in the Ford, which makes lifting heavy items into the trunk more strenuous; the Peugeot with its lower loading edge is more practical here.

Small differences: The slightly larger opening width of the Peugeot (+2 in, 5%) and the +1.6 in (4%) trunk length with the first row of seats upright are minor and hardly affect everyday usability compared to the differences mentioned above.
