Trunk comparison: Peugeot 208 vs Peugeot 3008

Key Differences

The Peugeot 3008 has a significantly longer loading length: with the seats folded down, the trunk is +14.2 in (27%) longer, and with the first row of seats upright, it is +12.6 in (48%) longer compared to the 208. The width of the trunk opening on the 3008 is +6.3 in (19%) larger, which makes loading wider items easier.

The Peugeot 208 offers significantly more vertical space between the loading edge and the trunk floor: here the depth is +2.8 in (64%) greater than on the 3008.

The loading edge of the 3008 is higher above the road: +3.5 in (13%), which affects the loading angle and lifting.

Smaller differences (not highlighted): The height of the trunk opening on the 3008 is only +1.2 in (4%) higher; the narrowest width is +2 in (5%) larger on the 3008 — these deviations are minor.

Impact on Usability

The 3008 clearly has the advantage when it comes to long or bulky cargo: the greater loading length (27% / 48%) and the wider opening (+19%) make it easier to store bicycles, furniture parts, or long boxes. The larger opening simplifies maneuvering wide items into the trunk.

The 208 scores with its greater depth between the loading edge and trunk floor (+64%). This means more vertical storage space below the loading edge — useful when items need to be "recessed" or when higher stacking heights are required directly in the trunk.

Combined with the lower loading edge height (the 3008 is 3.5 in higher), the 208 is often more practical for lifting heavy loads: a lower loading edge plus deeper interior means less effort and better load distribution.

Conclusion: For transporting long/wide items and generally more cargo space, the 3008 is better suited. For frequent lifting of heavy loads, higher vertical capacity in the cargo area, and easier loading and unloading of heavy goods, the 208 can be more advantageous — despite its overall smaller dimensions.
