Trunk comparison: Mercedes Benz GLE vs Peugeot 3008

Core Differences and Implications for Usability

Mercedes‑Benz GLE offers a significantly longer cargo floor with the seats folded down (+10.6 in / +16%). Specifically, this means longer items (e.g., furniture parts, skis, or longer boxes) can be stored flatter and more easily.

For users who regularly transport long cargo or want as flat a cargo surface as possible, the GLE is more practical for everyday use.

The Peugeot 3008 has a significantly greater distance between the loading edge and the trunk floor (+4.3 in / +1000%). Practically, this means the 3008 features a deeper cargo well or more "depth" below the loading edge, allowing better use of volume in the lower area and less visible storage of smaller items.

However, this depth comes with a higher loading edge, which can make lifting heavy loads more difficult.

Other, smaller differences (not >10%): With the first row of seats upright, the GLE has about +2.4 in more loading length; the trunk opening is slightly higher on the GLE (+1.2 in), and the narrowest width of the trunk is +1.6 in larger on the GLE.

The width of the opening is about +3.1 in larger on the GLE. These differences favor the GLE when loading wider or bulkier items and make maneuvering in the cargo space easier — but they are moderate and affect everyday usability less strongly than the two factors highlighted above.

Brief conclusion: Those who frequently transport long or wide cargo and want easy loading benefit more from the Mercedes‑GLE.

Those who often store items in the lower part of the trunk (e.g., shopping bags, tools, concealed storage compartments) and prefer a larger "depth volume" will find the Peugeot 3008 more interesting — albeit at the cost of a higher loading edge when loading.
