Trunk comparison: Peugeot 308 SW 3-row vs Durchschnitt Wagon

Key Differences and Impact on Usability

The average wagon offers a cargo space that is +11 in (19%) longer with the seats folded down than the Peugeot 308 SW 3-row. Practically, this means: with the seats folded down, the average wagon can accommodate longer or bulkier loads and achieve a greater overall cargo volume.

When all seats are upright, the difference is especially pronounced: the average wagon has a trunk that is +25.6 in (186%) longer. Specifically, when all rows are in use, the Peugeot has very little storage space left – the average wagon is clearly more practical for luggage or shopping with a full load of passengers.

The trunk opening of the Peugeot is +3.9 in (13%) higher than that of the average wagon. Advantage: the higher opening height makes it easier to load tall items and reduces the risk of large parts hitting the opening.

However, the loading edge of the average wagon is +2.8 in (13%) higher above the ground than the Peugeot. In practice, this means: the Peugeot has the lower loading edge and is therefore easier to load when lifting heavy or bulky items; with the average wagon, more repositioning or lifting is required.

Other values: depth (loading edge to ground) is the same, the narrowest trunk width differs by only 1.2 in (3%) in favor of the average wagon, and the width of the trunk opening is 3.5 in (9%) larger on the Peugeot. These smaller differences have only a minor impact in practice.

Summary in brief: For maximum cargo space with folded seats and significantly more room with full occupancy, the average wagon is the better choice. For easier loading of heavy items (lower loading edge) and a somewhat larger opening height for tall objects, the Peugeot 308 SW 3-row scores points.
