Trunk comparison: Peugeot 208 vs Skoda Kamiq

Key Differences

The Škoda Kamiq offers a significantly longer cargo space with the rear seats folded down: +8.7 in (17%) compared to the Peugeot 208. The trunk opening of the Kamiq is also noticeably larger: the opening height is +3.5 in (12%) higher and the opening width +6.3 in (19%) wider than the Peugeot 208. However, the Peugeot 208 has a greater cargo depth measurement (loading edge to trunk floor): +0.8 in (13%) in favor of the 208.

Other differences are smaller: with the front seats upright, the Kamiq is only slightly longer (+2.8 in / 10%), the loading edge height is only +0.4 in (1%) higher on the Peugeot, and the narrowest width in the trunk differs by just +1.2 in (3%) in favor of the Kamiq.

Impact on Usability

The Kamiq is clearly better suited for long or wide cargo: the greater overall length with folded seats plus the significantly larger opening (both height and width) makes loading long items, bulky boxes, or furniture easier.

Wide items can be loaded and unloaded more easily thanks to the 6.3 in wider opening; the higher opening height facilitates handling bulky, tall loads.

The Peugeot 208 scores with a slightly greater cargo depth from the loading edge to the trunk floor (+0.8 in / 13%). This means more usable interior space directly behind the loading edge — practical when it comes to flat, planar items or packing luggage up to the edge.

However, the lower opening height and width limit the loading of very wide or tall items: despite the slightly greater depth, actual loading and unloading of bulky objects can be more difficult.

Conclusion: For regularly transporting long or wide-format loads, the Škoda Kamiq is the more practical choice.

Those who mostly carry flat-packed luggage or frequently load up to the loading edge can benefit from the slightly deeper trunk of the Peugeot 208 but must accept compromises when handling very large or tall items.
