Trunk comparison: Opel Corsa vs Peugeot 208

Summary of the main differences

There are only very small deviations in trunk volume and opening between the Opel Corsa and Peugeot 208: With the seats folded down, the Corsa is 0.4 in (≈1%) longer, while with the first row of seats upright, the Peugeot has 0.4 in (≈2%) more length.

The height of the trunk opening on the Peugeot is 0.8 in (≈3%) larger.

The depth of the trunk (loading edge to floor), as well as the narrowest interior width and the width of the trunk opening, are the same in both models. The loading edge of the Peugeot is 0.4 in (≈1%) higher above the road than that of the Corsa. None of the mentioned deviations exceed 10%.

Impact on usability

Since no difference exceeds 10%, the practical differences are minimal: A 0.4 in longer cargo space with folded or upright seats only changes transport capacity in very tight borderline cases (very long items that exactly fit the edge of the cargo area).

The 0.8 in higher trunk opening on the Peugeot slightly eases maneuvering tall items inside but is hardly noticeable in everyday use.

The 0.4 in higher loading edge of the Peugeot only leads to a marginally higher effort when lifting heavy or bulky loads. Equal depth and widths mean that width and floor area for luggage or bulky parts are practically identical in both cars.

Conclusion: There are no relevant differences in everyday usability for luggage and shopping. Decisions should therefore be made based on other criteria (comfort, consumption, price, equipment).
