Trunk comparison: Peugeot 3008 vs Volvo V90

Key Differences

The Volvo V90 offers significantly more length in the cargo space: with the seats folded down, the trunk is +10.6 in (16%) longer, and with the first row upright, it is +5.9 in (15%) longer than the Peugeot 3008. The loading opening of the Peugeot, on the other hand, is taller: the opening height is +3.1 in (11%) higher on the Peugeot.

Additionally, the Peugeot has a significantly greater distance between the loading edge and the trunk floor — the measured depth is +4.3 in (1000%) greater on the Peugeot. The loading edge of the Peugeot also sits noticeably higher above the road (+7.5 in / 31%).

Regarding the width of the loading opening, the Volvo has an advantage of +4.7 in (12%); the narrowest point in the trunk is only slightly wider on the Volvo (+1.6 in / 4%).

Impact on Usability

Practically, this means: The Volvo V90 is better suited for long cargo (boards, skis, long boxes) because it offers noticeably more loading length both with folded seats and with the rear bench upright. Likewise, the wider loading opening on the Volvo makes it easier to load wide or bulky items.

The Peugeot 3008 scores with vertical capacity: the higher loading opening and the significantly greater depth between the loading edge and trunk floor create more space for tall or bulky cargo that needs to be stored upright.

However, the loading edge on the Peugeot is significantly higher above the road, which makes handling heavy items more difficult — lifting when loading requires more strength or aids.

Conclusion: For longer, flat-lying, or wide transports, the Volvo V90 is the more practical choice. For bulky, tall cargo requiring more interior height, the Peugeot 3008 is advantageous but must contend with loading and unloading disadvantages due to the higher loading edge.
