Trunk comparison: Peugeot 3008 vs VW Taigo

Key Differences and Their Impact on Usability

The Peugeot 3008 offers a significantly longer cargo space with the front seats upright: +6.7 in (21%) compared to the VW Taigo.

This makes the 3008 practically superior when transporting long items without folding the seats down (e.g., slats, skis, or long boxes) — more usable length means less frequent seat folding and more flexible use when carrying passengers.

The VW Taigo, on the other hand, has a significantly greater trunk depth measured from the loading edge to the trunk floor: +3.5 in (82%). Practically, this means the Taigo has a noticeably deeper cargo well that creates more vertical volume directly behind the loading edge.

Advantages: higher stackable or bulkier cargo close behind the loading edge and generally better securing of lower-lying items. Disadvantage: items lie deeper, making it less convenient to lift heavy loads in — especially if the loading edge is also positioned high.

Other, smaller differences additionally influence practical use: the loading edge of the Peugeot is about 2 in higher above the road, which makes lifting heavy items more difficult; the trunk opening of the Taigo is somewhat higher, while the opening width and narrowest width are slightly larger on the Peugeot (+2–1.2 in).

In summary: for long cargo with a fully occupied rear seat, the Peugeot is better suited; for low-lying stacks and easier sliding in of volume (with a simultaneously lower loading edge), the Taigo scores.
