Trunk comparison: Peugeot 3008 vs Tesla Model 3

Key Differences and Impact on Usability

It is noticeable that the Tesla Model 3 offers a 7.9 in (12%) longer cargo space with the seats fully folded down compared to the Peugeot 3008. This means: for long items (e.g., slats, long boxes, skis), the Model 3 allows easier, flat storage once the rear seat is folded.

The Peugeot 3008, on the other hand, has a significantly higher trunk opening: +10.2 in (50%) compared to the Model 3. This provides more vertical clearance when loading tall or bulky items; bulky parts can be loaded more easily upright or without strong tilting.

Additionally, the loading edge of the Peugeot is +5.1 in (19%) higher above the road.

Practically, this means: lifting heavy luggage into the trunk requires more effort and is less convenient than with the Model 3’s lower loading edge; conversely, the higher entry can reduce the shifting of items when driving up steeply, but does not change the lifting effort.

Other, smaller differences: with the rear seat upright, the Model 3 is only 3.1 in (8%) longer — this difference is minor and hardly affects everyday usability.

The narrowest trunk width is 2.4 in (6%) larger in the Peugeot, the opening width 0.8 in (2%) wider — both marginal. The depth (loading edge to trunk floor) is the same in both models.

Conclusion: For frequent transport of very long items (with the rear seat folded), the Tesla Model 3 has the advantage.

For transporting tall or bulky items and for easier loading of bulky cargo, the Peugeot 3008 offers benefits due to the significantly higher opening, but pays for this advantage with a higher loading edge that makes lifting and frequent loading more difficult.

For normal luggage use (rear seat upright, no extreme dimensions), the differences in everyday use are minor.
