Trunk comparison: Opel Grandland vs Peugeot 208

Comparison of trunk dimensions for the Opel Grandland and Peugeot 208

Key Differences

The Opel Grandland offers significantly more cargo space in length: with the seats folded down, the trunk is +15 in (29%) longer, and with the front seats upright even +8.7 in (33%) compared to the Peugeot 208. The loading opening of the Grandland is also considerably wider: +8.7 in (26%) compared to the 208. Conversely, the Peugeot has a greater depth between the loading edge and the trunk floor: +0.8 in (13%) compared to the Grandland.

Other, Smaller Differences

The height of the trunk opening on the Opel is 2.4 in (8%) larger — a small advantage for very tall items.

The loading edge of the Opel is 2.8 in (10%) higher above the road than the Peugeot, and the narrowest width of the trunk is only about 2 in (5%) larger on the Opel. These values are moderate and affect usability less strongly than the differences highlighted above.

Impact on Practical Use

Due to the significantly greater length (with seats folded or upright) and the considerably wider opening, the Opel Grandland is clearly advantageous when it comes to transporting long or wide items: furniture parts, long boards, larger boxes, or multiple suitcases can be loaded and maneuvered more easily.

The wider opening facilitates loading bulky items and reduces the need for repositioning when maneuvering in the cargo space.

The Peugeot 208 scores with its greater trunk depth dimensions: items can lie somewhat deeper in the cargo area, which is advantageous for bulky but not too long objects (e.g., large shopping bags, crates).

Additionally, the loading edge on the 208 is lower (Opel is 2.8 in higher), which makes lifting heavy loads into the trunk easier — practical for heavy shopping or bulky but not particularly long items.

Conclusion: For users who regularly transport long or wide loads or frequently need volume, the Opel Grandland is the more practical choice. For those who more often have to lift heavy but compact loads or prefer a more accessible loading edge, the Peugeot 208 can offer advantages.
