Trunk comparison: Jeep Renegade vs Peugeot 308 SW 3-row
Key Differences
The two models mainly differ in usable cargo length depending on seat position, trunk depth, loading edge height, and the width of the trunk opening.
Specifically: When the first row of seats is upright, the Peugeot 308 SW has a cargo space that is 12.2 in or 40% longer than the Jeep. However, when all seats are upright, the Jeep Renegade's trunk is 16.5 in or 120% longer than the Peugeot's.
The height of the trunk opening is the same for both models. The trunk depth (distance from loading edge to trunk floor) is 3.9 in or 250% greater in the Jeep. The Jeep's loading edge is 7.9 in or 36% higher above the road.
Regarding width, the Peugeot is slightly ahead at the narrowest point; the more significant difference is in the opening width: the Peugeot's trunk opening is 5.9 in or 15% wider than the Jeep's.
Impact on Usability
These differences lead to distinct practical advantages: The Peugeot is better suited for loading long items through the opening or sliding in wide cargo comfortably when the first row of seats is in the standard position (here the +40% advantage). The larger opening width makes loading wide objects easier.
The Jeep, on the other hand, scores in everyday scenarios with full seating: When all seats are upright, it offers significantly more usable cargo space (+120%), making it better for luggage with full occupancy or for bulky items that need to be stored behind all seat rows.
The significantly greater trunk depth also means more interior height/volume behind the loading edge, useful for tall or bulky cargo.
Note the higher loading edge of the Jeep (+7.9 in): this makes lifting heavy items in and out of the vehicle more difficult but can offer advantages in protecting cargo against water or dirt intrusion.
The indicated small differences (under 10%) are less relevant in practice; for wide or flat cargo and ease of loading, the Peugeot offers advantages, while for volume and use with full occupancy, the Jeep is better.
