Trunk comparison: Nissan Rogue Sport vs Peugeot 308 SW 3-row

Key Differences

The Nissan Qashqai offers significantly more cargo volume with all seats fully upright than the Peugeot 308 SW: with all seats upright, the Qashqai has a trunk that is 20.5 in (149%) longer.

However, if the first row of seats (front) remains upright, the Peugeot provides more loading length: the 308 SW then has +8.3 in (24%) more. With all seats folded down, the Qashqai is also ahead: it offers +7.9 in (14%) longer loading length than the 308 SW.

Other notable differences concern loading heights: the loading edge of the Qashqai sits 8.3 in (38%) higher above the road, while the trunk opening of the 308 SW is 3.5 in (11%) higher.

The depth of the trunk (loading edge to floor) is 0.8 in (50%) greater in the Qashqai. Differences in width (narrowest point +1.2 in in the Qashqai, opening width +0.4 in in the 308) are negligible at 1–3%.

Impact on Usability

Everyday use / passenger operation: Since the Qashqai offers significantly more trunk length with all seats upright, it is more practical for families or trips with multiple passengers when luggage or shopping often needs to be carried.

The larger cargo space without folding seats means fewer compromises between passenger and cargo needs.

Transporting long items: If loading length is needed without adjusting the front seats, the Peugeot 308 SW has the advantage. Its 24% longer loading area with the first row upright makes it better suited for transporting long, flat items (e.g., slats, panels) behind the rear seats.

Loading large/deep or tall items: The higher trunk opening of the 308 SW makes it easier to load tall objects, while the greater depth of the Qashqai provides more usable interior space from the loading edge to the floor.

However, the significantly higher loading edge of the Qashqai (plus 8.3 in) makes lifting heavy loads in more difficult compared to the lower loading edge of the 308 SW.

Conclusion: For users who need more volume with all seats in place on a daily basis, the Qashqai is advantageous.

Those who regularly transport especially long items without adjusting front seats or value a higher opening height benefit more from the Peugeot 308 SW. Smaller width differences are practically irrelevant.
