Trunk comparison: Peugeot 3008 vs Toyota Corolla Wagon

Key Differences

The Toyota Corolla Touring Sports offers a 7.5 in (11%) longer cargo space with the rear seats folded down compared to the Peugeot 3008. The Peugeot 3008 has a significantly greater trunk depth (distance from loading edge to trunk floor) – +1.2 in or 38% – and a much higher loading edge above the road – +6.3 in or 25%.

Impact on Usability

Long items: Due to the 7.5 in longer cargo space with folded seats, the Corolla Touring Sports is clearly advantageous for long, flat loads (e.g., laminate flooring, slats, longer boxes).

Lifting and loading/unloading: The significantly higher loading edge of the Peugeot makes loading heavy items more strenuous and less practical for one person.

Although the trunk floor in the Peugeot sits lower relative to the loading edge (larger "recess" inside), allowing bulky or taller items to sit somewhat deeper in the cargo area, this facilitates securing the load but does not compensate for the higher lifting to the loading edge.

Everyday use: For frequent handling of heavy loads or frequent loading from a low working height, the Toyota has the advantage. For cargo that should lie deeper or be hidden inside, the deeper trunk interior of the Peugeot can be beneficial.

Other, Less Relevant Differences

Small deviations without major practical effect: Toyota has a slightly wider trunk opening (+0.4 in) and a 1.2 in longer trunk with the first row of seats upright (+1.2 in / 3%).

Peugeot is about 2.4 in wider at the narrowest point of the trunk (+2.4 in / 6%) and the height of the trunk opening is 1.2 in higher (+1.2 in / 4%). These differences are minor and hardly affect everyday usability compared to the points highlighted above.
