Trunk comparison: Mercedes Benz GLC vs Peugeot 5008

Key Differences and Usability

The most noticeable difference appears with all seats upright: The Mercedes‑Benz GLC offers a trunk that is 23.2 in longer (+174%) than the Peugeot 5008. This makes the GLC significantly more practical for luggage, strollers, or longer items when fully occupied, as considerably more usable cargo space remains without folding seats down.

In another seating configuration, the Peugeot 5008 has an advantage: When the first row of seats is upright, the 5008's trunk is 4.7 in larger (+13%) than the GLC's.

This means the 5008 provides more flexible loading options for longer items in this specific use case, such as when front seats are occupied and rear space is needed for cargo.

Other measured differences are below the 10% mark: The 5008's trunk opening is 1.6 in higher, the narrowest trunk width is 2 in larger, the opening width is 1.2 in wider, and the trunk depth/loading surface differences amount to only a few centimeters. The GLC's loading edge is 0.8 in higher above the road.

These smaller deviations mean in practice: the 5008 makes loading bulky or wider items somewhat easier due to the larger opening and width, while the slightly higher loading edge of the GLC makes lifting in marginally more difficult, but overall this has little impact.

Conclusion: For regular transport with full seating, the GLC has a clear advantage. For flexible configurations with folded or partially occupied seats (depending on the need for longer cargo space), the Peugeot 5008 is more practical in certain situations.
