Trunk comparison: Peugeot 3008 vs VW ID.3

Key Differences

The Peugeot 3008 offers a significantly longer cargo space with the first row of seats upright: it is 7.9 in (≈25%) longer than that of the VW ID.3. This makes the 3008 better suited for long items without folding the seats.

Conversely, the VW ID.3 has a significantly greater depth between the loading edge and the trunk floor: this distance is 2 in (≈45%) larger in the ID.3. Combined with the ID.3's loading edge being 1.2 in lower, this results in a trunk floor that is overall positioned lower (net ≈ 3.1 in lower).

Impact on Practical Use

Because the Peugeot is significantly longer with the rear seat upright, long items (e.g., slats, skis, long furniture parts) can be transported more easily without folding the seats. For users who frequently carry long cargo without removing the seat bench, the 3008 is therefore more practical.

The greater depth in the VW ID.3 means more cargo volume near the floor and a lower trunk floor relative to the road. This makes lifting heavy or bulky items easier when loading (lower lift height) and increases the usable vertical space inside the trunk, especially for lower-lying or stackable cargo.

A downside might be that very flat items, which are meant to be transported flush with the loading edge, are less likely to slide out easily or may "hide" deeper in the trunk.

Smaller differences: The trunk opening of the Peugeot is 2.4 in wider (≈6%) and 1.2 in higher (≈4%) than that of the ID.3; the Peugeot's loading edge is about 1.2 in higher above the road.

These values are moderate but slightly favor the Peugeot when loading bulky, wider parts. The width at the narrowest point is the same for both models.

Conclusion: Peugeot 3008 = advantage when transporting long items without folding the seats. VW ID.3 = advantage with a lower loading floor and easier handling of heavy or floor-level stackable loads.
