Trunk comparison: Opel Grandland vs Peugeot 5008

Summary of the Biggest Differences

Several differences exceeding 10% stand out in the comparison: The Peugeot 5008 offers a 7.5 in (11%) longer cargo space when the seats are folded down and a 6.3 in (18%) longer loading area with the first row of seats upright compared to the Opel Grandland.

Conversely, the Opel Grandland has 21.7 in (162%) more cargo length with all seats upright.

Additionally, the trunk depth in the Opel is 5.9 in (1500%) greater, the loading edge height of the Opel is 3.5 in (13%) higher above the road surface, and the narrowest width of the trunk is 5.5 in (14%) larger in the Peugeot.

The height of the trunk opening (+0.4 in, 1%) and the width of the opening (+2 in, 5%) differ only minimally.

Implications for Usability

The larger folded cargo space of the Peugeot (±7.5 in) makes it more practical for long, flat, or bulky items, such as furniture panels or long boxes.

Also, with the first row of seats normally upright, the Peugeot benefits from the longer loading area — meaning those who often need to transport a full passenger load but still want to accommodate longer items are better served by the 5008.

The Opel scores points with the regular seating arrangement: With significantly more length when seats are upright, it is better suited for situations where a large, non-folded trunk is regularly needed — for example, for large luggage, shopping, or equipment with a full passenger load.

The significantly greater trunk depth in the Opel further improves stacking and the stability of tall items in the cargo space.

The higher loading edge of the Opel (+3.5 in) makes lifting heavy loads somewhat more strenuous compared to the Peugeot; however, the loading edge sits higher above the ground, which can offer advantages when loading with the tailgate closed and with good ground clearance.

The greater narrow width of the Peugeot (+5.5 in) facilitates loading wide items through tight spots inside the cabin.

In summary: For longer, flat, or frequently folded loads and when width in tight spots is needed, the Peugeot 5008 is advantageous.

For larger volumes with full occupancy, a deeper and more stable cargo area, but with a higher loading edge, the Opel Grandland is better suited. Smaller dimensions like opening height and width are similar in both models.
