Trunk comparison: Kia Stonic vs Peugeot 5008

Key Differences

There are clear pros and cons for both models regarding cargo volume and trunk shape. The Peugeot 5008 offers significantly more cargo space with the seats folded down (plus 20.1 in / 37%) and also with the first row upright (plus 14.2 in / 52%) — making it much more usable for long items.

In contrast, the Kia Stonic has a significantly larger trunk with all seats upright (plus 13.8 in / 103%), meaning more usable volume when fully occupied.

Regarding the loading edge and interior geometry: the Kia Stonic has a much greater trunk depth (distance loading edge → trunk floor: +6.7 in / 1700%) and also an 3.1 in (12%) higher loading edge above the road.

This means more vertical interior space but also more lift when loading. The width of the trunk opening is 5.5 in (14%) larger on the Peugeot 5008, which makes loading wider or bulky items easier.

What does this mean for usability?

Peugeot 5008 — better for long and bulky cargo: - Due to the longer cargo floor with folded seats and with the first row upright, the 5008 is better suited for transporting long items (e.g., slats, furniture parts, sports equipment like skis) or when frequently transporting large luggage lying down. - The larger opening facilitates loading wide items and handling bulky cargo.

Kia Stonic — more practical with full seating, loaded differently: - With all seats upright, the Stonic offers significantly more usable trunk space, making it more practical for families or trips where all seats are occupied but still a lot of luggage needs to be carried. - The considerably greater trunk depth provides more vertical storage space but may require lifting heavy items higher due to the loading edge being 3.1 in higher.

This is less favorable for heavy loads but advantageous for bulky, tall items.

Smaller differences: - The height of the trunk opening is only 0.4 in more favorable on the 5008 (negligible). - The trunk width at the narrowest point is 10% larger on the 5008 (adjacent to the highlighted boundary), providing extra space for wide items but less pronounced than the differences mentioned above.

Conclusion: For regular transport of long or wide cargo, the Peugeot 5008 is more practical; for situations with full seating or when more vertical interior space is desired, the Kia Stonic is advantageous. However, the higher loading edge of the Stonic makes lifting heavy items more strenuous.
