Trunk comparison: Mazda Mazda CX-5 vs Peugeot 5008
Biggest Differences (highlighted)
The comparison reveals three relevant differences over 10%: The Peugeot 5008 offers a cargo floor that is +7.1 in (11%) longer than the Mazda CX‑5 when fully folded down.
With all seats upright, however, the Mazda has a significantly larger trunk: +24.4 in (182%) more loading depth than the Peugeot. Additionally, the trunk depth (loading edge to trunk floor) is +1.6 in (400%) greater in the Mazda than in the Peugeot.
What impact do these differences have on usability?
The large difference with full seating (Mazda +24.4 in / 182%) means: If you regularly travel with multiple passengers and need to transport luggage or shopping at the same time, the Mazda offers significantly more storage space.
For family or everyday scenarios with full occupancy, the Mazda is more practical because larger suitcases or multiple bags fit without folding down the seats.
The Peugeot’s advantage in folded-down mode (+7.1 in / 11%) mainly affects long, flat loads. Those who often transport bulky, long items (e.g., slats, skis, long packages) benefit from the longer cargo floor of the 5008 — the difference is moderate but relevant when length is decisive.
The greater trunk depth measurement in the Mazda (+1.6 in / 400%) increases usable volume and lowers smaller items deeper into the cargo area, which can improve stability and space utilization.
Combined with a higher loading edge (Mazda +2.8 in, not >10% and therefore not highlighted here), there is a practical disadvantage: heavy luggage must be lifted higher, making loading and unloading more difficult. The Peugeot, with a lower loading edge, is more comfortable in this regard.
Other differences (e.g., width and opening dimensions) are below or around 10% and affect basic usability less strongly; however, they favor the Peugeot for bulky width requirements and the Mazda for volume with occupied seating.
Practical conclusion: For regular trips with many passengers and luggage, the Mazda CX‑5 is more practical. For users who frequently transport long items or want a slightly wider opening, the Peugeot 5008 is more advantageous.
