Trunk comparison: Ford Focus Wagon vs Peugeot 5008

Comparison of trunk dimensions for the Ford Focus Wagon and Peugeot 5008

Summary of the main differences

The most noticeable difference lies in the usable cargo space with upright seats: the Ford Focus Wagon offers about 27.6 in more cargo length (+206%) with the rear seat up than the Peugeot 5008, which means a significantly larger area for long items without folding the seats down.

Furthermore, the trunk opening of the Peugeot is about 3.5 in higher (+13%), increasing vertical loading clearance.

As a third notable value, the depth (loading edge to trunk floor) shows a difference of +0.4 in in favor of the Ford with a stated percentage deviation of 100%; however, in absolute terms, this is only 0.4 in, so practically negligible.

What are the practical implications of these differences?

Because the Focus Wagon is significantly longer with upright seats, it clearly has the advantage in everyday use when regularly transporting long items (slats, skis, furniture parts) without folding down the rear seat.

Those who often drive fully occupied and still need to carry bulky or long cargo will find the Focus more practical.

The higher trunk opening of the Peugeot makes loading tall or bulky items easier, as more vertical space is available; this can be noticeable when transporting boxes, plants, or bulky household appliances.

The slightly higher loading edge of the Peugeot (about 2.4 in) means a somewhat higher lift when loading — this is disadvantageous for heavy items but less relevant for sliding in flat boxes.

The small width and length differences with folded seats (+1.6 in length, +2 to +2 in width) are only marginally noticeable in practice.

Conclusion: For users who frequently need to transport long items without folding down the rear seat, the Ford Focus Wagon is the better choice.

For buyers who value greater vertical loading clearance and easier handling of tall items, the Peugeot 5008 offers advantages. Smaller percentage figures with very small absolute values (e.g., +0.4 in) are shown as large percentages but have little practical relevance.
