Trunk comparison: Hyundai IONIQ vs Peugeot 3008

Key Differences

The models differ in several trunk dimensions. With the rear seats fully folded down, there is only a small advantage for the Peugeot (+1.6 in / 2%). With the first row of seats upright, the Peugeot also offers a moderate length advantage (+3.1 in / 9%).

The width at the narrowest point is slightly larger in the Peugeot (+0.4 in / 1%), and the width of the opening is +3.1 in (9%) greater in the Peugeot. The depth from the loading edge to the floor is 0.4 in (9%) greater in the Hyundai. The loading edge of the Peugeot is higher above the road (+2.4 in / 8%).

Notably, the height of the trunk opening in the Peugeot is 4.7 in (+18%) larger than in the Hyundai.

Impact on Usability

Higher opening (Peugeot, +18%): Allows loading significantly taller or bulkier items (e.g., furniture, boxes) and reduces the risk of hitting the upper edge. For users who often load tall cargo, the Peugeot is noticeably more practical here.

Lower loading edge in the Hyundai: The lower loading edge makes lifting heavy items into the trunk easier and more ergonomic. This is especially advantageous for regular transport of heavy loads or for people with less physical strength.

Smaller length and width differences (mostly ≤9%): These only slightly affect everyday usability. The Peugeot offers somewhat more loading length and a wider opening, which simplifies loading flat or wide items; the Hyundai has minimally more floor depth, which slightly better accommodates longer, flat-lying items.

Overall, these differences are uncritical in many everyday scenarios but become noticeable in special cases (very long, wide, or tall cargo).
