Trunk comparison: Hyundai Kona vs Peugeot 5008

Key Differences (highlighted: >10%)

The Peugeot 5008 offers 13% (≈+8.7 in) longer cargo space with seats folded down and 22% (≈+7.5 in) longer cargo space with the first row of seats upright compared to the Hyundai Kona.

In contrast, the Hyundai Kona has a significantly longer cargo space with all seats upright (+153%, ≈+20.5 in), meaning clearly more usable depth in everyday use with full occupancy.

The depth of the cargo area (distance from loading edge → trunk floor) is proportionally much greater in the Kona (+400%, +1.6 in), indicating more usable vertical height or ground clearance.

At the narrowest width of the trunk, the Peugeot is 11% (≈+4.3 in) wider than the Kona, which makes loading wider items easier.

Smaller differences below the 10% mark that usually matter less in everyday use: the trunk opening height (+3% in favor of the Peugeot), the width of the trunk opening (+9% in favor of the Peugeot), and the loading edge height above the road (+1% in favor of the Peugeot).

Impact on Usability

For long items with seats folded down, the Peugeot 5008 is overall more practical: the longer cargo space makes loading slats, furniture parts, or longer sports equipment easier. Wide or bulky items can also be placed more easily in the Peugeot because the narrowest interior width is noticeably larger.

However, if you regularly travel with full occupancy and still need storage space (groceries, bags, stroller), the Hyundai Kona has the advantage in everyday use: with significantly more trunk depth with seats upright, it offers more usable space during passenger operation.

The greater depth (loading edge → floor) also allows for higher stacking or use of the interior for bulkier cargo but may require a bit more strength when lifting heavy loads during loading and unloading.

In summary: the Peugeot 5008 scores on length (with seats folded) and width for bulky/long loads; the Hyundai Kona is advantageous when frequently driving with all seats occupied or when more vertical or stacking capacity in the trunk is needed.

Smaller differences in opening dimensions and loading edge height usually play hardly any decisive role in most everyday situations.
