Trunk comparison: Hyundai Kona vs Peugeot 308 SW 3-row

Key Differences (highlighted: >10%)

Trunk with folded seats: According to the data, the Hyundai Kona offers a 8.3 in (14%) longer cargo area than the Peugeot 308 SW 3-row. This means more usable length for long items in the Kona with all seats folded down.

Trunk with front row upright: With only the front row upright, the Peugeot has a 8.7 in (26%) longer cargo space than the Kona. In this configuration, the Peugeot is better suited for long transports with partially folded seats.

Trunk with all seats upright: With all rows in use, the Hyundai Kona has a 20.1 in (146%) larger trunk than the Peugeot. This is a significant advantage when many passengers are on board and luggage still needs to be carried.

Height of the trunk opening: The opening of the Peugeot is 4.3 in (14%) higher than that of the Kona. This makes loading tall items significantly easier.

Trunk depth (loading edge → floor): The Kona is 0.4 in (25%) "deeper" (greater depth) here than the Peugeot — the percentage is high, but the absolute difference is very small.

Loading edge height above road: The Kona's loading edge sits 4.7 in (21%) higher above the road than the Peugeot's, making lifting heavy loads more difficult.

Impact on usability

For everyday users with full occupancy and luggage, the Hyundai Kona has the advantage: with all seats upright, significantly more trunk space remains, making it better for family trips, shopping, or travel transports with a full passenger load.

Those who frequently transport long items and often fold seats (specifically: when only the front row remains upright) benefit more from the Peugeot 308 SW 3-row because it offers more loading length in this configuration. Additionally, the higher trunk opening makes storing tall or bulky parts easier.

For regular transport of heavy loads, the Peugeot is more practical due to the lower loading edge; the Kona's ≈4.7 in higher loading edge makes lifting more strenuous. The slightly greater trunk depth figure of the Kona is hardly noticeable in everyday use, as the absolute difference is only 0.4 in.

Width differences at the narrowest point and the opening (3% and 9%, respectively) are minor and have less practical impact.

Brief recommendation

Choose the Hyundai Kona if you often travel fully occupied with considerable luggage. Choose the Peugeot 308 SW 3-row if you frequently transport long or tall items and appreciate a lower loading edge and higher opening.
