Trunk comparison: Ford Escape vs Peugeot 308 SW 3-row

Key Differences and Practical Consequences

With the seats folded down, the Ford Kuga has a trunk that is 11 in (19%) longer than the Peugeot 308 SW. For long cargo items — e.g., furniture, slats, or skis — the Kuga offers more usable length when the rear seats are not needed.

When all seats are upright, the difference is even more noticeable: the Ford Kuga provides 24.8 in (180%) more cargo length than the Peugeot.

This means significantly more storage space for luggage or shopping in everyday use with full occupancy; the Kuga is better suited when passengers and considerable cargo need to be transported regularly at the same time.

The Peugeot scores in accessibility: the trunk opening is 5.1 in (17%) higher than the Kuga’s, and the depth from the loading edge to the trunk floor is 1.2 in (300%) greater.

Together with the 5.5 in (25%) lower loading edge compared to the Kuga, the Peugeot offers a clearly more practical combination for loading and unloading heavy or tall items — less lifting, more vertical clearance, and easier stowing of bulky parts.

The width of the trunk at its narrowest point (Kuga +1.2 in / 3%) and the width of the opening on the Peugeot (+2.8 in / 7%) differ only slightly and are hardly decisive in daily use.

Conclusion: For longer cargo and significantly more usable depth with full seating, the Ford Kuga is the better choice. For comfortable loading and unloading of heavy or tall items (lower loading edge, higher opening, slightly deeper floor), the Peugeot 308 SW is more practical.
