Trunk comparison: Ford Focus vs Peugeot 5008

Key Differences and Implications for Usability

The Peugeot 5008 offers a significantly larger cargo area with the seats folded down: +13 in (21%) longer trunk length than the Ford Focus, and when the first row of seats is upright, the 5008 is even +11 in (36%) longer.

This makes the 5008 more practical for long or bulky items when seats are folded or the front seats cannot be moved far forward — such as for furniture boards, long pipes, or skis.

With full seating occupancy (all seats upright), the Ford Focus is clearly ahead: it has a +16.9 in (126%) longer trunk than the 5008. This means significantly more usable cargo space in everyday use with all seats in place, for example for shopping bags, suitcases, or strollers, without needing to fold seats down.

In terms of depth from the loading edge area to the trunk floor, the Ford Focus has a major advantage: +6.7 in (1700%) more depth than the Peugeot.

Practically, this means the Focus offers more vertical storage space behind the loading edge and is better suited for stacking or taller items. The loading edge height itself is the same on both models, so loading remains equally convenient.

The Peugeot 5008 is somewhat more comfortable at the narrowest point of the trunk as well as in opening width: +5.5 in (14%) more interior width at the narrowest point and +5.1 in (13%) larger opening width. This makes it easier to load wider items and provides more room to maneuver bulky cargo through the opening.

The height of the trunk opening is the same on both models, so there are no differences in usability in this regard.

Brief Conclusion

For users who often transport long or wide items and fold seats down, the Peugeot 5008 is more advantageous (longer cargo area and wider opening). However, those who regularly travel with all seats in use and still need as much usable cargo space and more depth behind the loading edge will benefit from the Ford Focus.
