Trunk comparison: Peugeot 3008 vs VW Touran
Key Statement
The Peugeot 3008 offers significantly more usable trunk space with seats upright: +25.6 in (+191%) length compared to the VW Touran.
Additionally, the 3008 has a significantly greater trunk depth measurement (loading edge → trunk floor): +3.9 in (+1000%), and the loading edge of the 3008 is +7.1 in (+29%) higher above the road.
Other, smaller differences: The VW Touran is slightly longer in cargo space with folded seats (+4.7 in / +7%), minimally longer with the first row upright (+0.8 in / +2%), has about +3.1 in (+10%) higher trunk opening as well as +1.6 in (+4%) more width at the narrowest point and an opening width of +0.8 in (+2%).
Impact on Usability
Big advantage for Peugeot (seats upright, deeper interior): For everyday use, shopping, strollers, or bulky boxes with full seating, the 3008 is more practical — it offers significantly more volume and better stacking options due to the greater depth.
The larger interior volume makes it overall more flexible for families who regularly transport luggage with all passengers.
Disadvantages of Peugeot: The +7.1 in higher loading edge makes lifting heavy items into the trunk more difficult and is a clear disadvantage when frequently loading bulky or heavy loads. Despite the deeper interior, the higher loading edge can make loading less convenient.
Advantages of VW Touran: With folded seats, the Touran is somewhat longer and, due to the higher trunk opening (+3.1 in) and slightly greater width at tight spots, better suited for long or tall items that need to go through the opening.
The lower loading edge makes lifting heavy items easier — practical for moves, DIY supplies, or regular loading of heavy loads.
Conclusion: Those who need maximum storage space and deeper interior dimensions with full seating (family everyday with luggage) are better served by the Peugeot 3008. Those who more often load heavy or long items, rely on easy lifting, or need the opening height/width benefit more from the VW Touran.
