Trunk comparison: Peugeot 3008 vs Tesla Model Y

Key Differences

In terms of cargo space, the Tesla Model Y has a clear advantage in usable length: with the seats folded down, the trunk is 10.6 in (≈16%) longer, and with the first row of seats upright, the advantage is still 4.7 in (≈12%).

The Peugeot 3008, on the other hand, scores points for entry and loading geometry: the height of the trunk opening is 3.5 in (≈13%) larger, the distance from the loading edge to the trunk floor is 4.3 in (≈1000%) greater (very noticeable), and the loading edge itself sits 3.9 in (≈14%) higher above the ground.

Width differences — width at the narrowest point (+6%, Peugeot) and width of the opening (+1%, Peugeot) — are minor and hardly noticeable in everyday use.

Impact on Usability

The longer cargo areas of the Model Y make it more practical for long items: furniture parts, slats, skis, or longer boxes are easier to transport, especially when the seats are folded down.

Combined with the Tesla's lower loading edge, loading heavy or long items is easier because less lifting and more sliding is required.

The Peugeot 3008, in contrast, is better suited for bulky, taller, or loose cargo. The larger opening height allows for loading bulky, tall items in an upright position.

The significantly deeper well behind the loading edge ensures that smaller items are less likely to shift or roll out of the trunk — at the same time, the higher loading edge means more lifting effort when loading and unloading heavy loads.

In practice, this means: those who frequently transport long, flat, or heavy items (e.g., tools, furniture, sports equipment) benefit from the Model Y's length and low loading edge.

Those who more often carry bulky, tall, or loosely stored groceries and luggage and value a "deep" cargo floor for securing items will find advantages in the Peugeot 3008 — with the drawback of more lifting when loading and unloading. Width differences play hardly any role in everyday life.
