Trunk comparison: Opel Astra Wagon vs Peugeot 308 SW 3-row

Key Differences

When all seats are folded down, the Opel Astra Sports Tourer offers a significantly longer cargo space: +13 in (+23%) compared to the Peugeot.

With all rows upright, the difference is even greater: the Opel has a trunk that is +26.4 in (+191%) longer.

The depth of the trunk (loading edge to trunk floor) is +3.9 in (+250%) greater in the Opel.

Implications for Usability

The greater length dimensions in the Opel (both with folded seats and with upright seating) practically mean more cargo volume and significantly more space for long items. For users who frequently transport furniture, long building materials, or bicycles, the Astra is therefore noticeably more flexible.

The significantly greater depth in the Opel increases usable cargo volume and makes stacking or storing taller or deeper items easier. Together with the greater length, the Astra overall offers a noticeably higher transport capacity.

Smaller differences in the Peugeot: with the first row upright, the Peugeot is minimally longer (+2.4 in / 6%) and the trunk opening is slightly higher (+1.6 in / 5%). These differences are minor and mainly facilitate easier loading of wider or taller items due to the slightly larger opening.

Other minor aspects: the loading edge of the Opel is +2 in (9%) higher than the Peugeot’s, which makes lifting heavy loads in somewhat more difficult.

The narrowest trunk width differs hardly (+0.4 in in favor of Opel) and the width of the trunk opening is +2.4 in (6%) larger in the Peugeot — both only minor and without much practical impact.
