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

Key Differences (>10%) and Their Impact on Usability

The average SUV offers a trunk that is +6.3 in (11%) longer with the seats folded down than the Peugeot 308 SW 3-row. This makes the SUV somewhat more flexible for transporting very long or bulky items with all seats folded flat.

Conversely, the Peugeot 308 SW 3-row has a trunk that is +9.1 in (27%) longer in the "front row upright" configuration than the average SUV.

In this situation, the Peugeot is better suited for longer loads when certain rows are positioned differently (e.g., for bicycles or long building materials with partial seating).

When all seats are upright (full passenger mode), the average SUV clearly wins: it has a trunk that is +19.7 in (143%) larger. This means significantly more cargo space for passengers in everyday use — especially useful for trips or family use with lots of luggage.

The trunk opening height is +4.7 in (16%) greater on the Peugeot. A higher opening makes it easier to load large, tall items and improves handling of bulky cargo.

The trunk depth (from loading edge to floor) is +0.4 in (25%) higher in the average SUV. Although the absolute difference is only 0.4 in, the percentage is large — practically, the difference in usable interior height is marginal.

The loading edge of the average SUV sits +7.5 in (34%) higher above the road than the Peugeot.

This strongly affects everyday usability: the Peugeot is significantly lower and thus more ergonomic for regular loading and unloading of heavy loads or large boxes; the SUV requires higher lifting, making loading more strenuous but often offers better protection against ground contact on uneven terrain.

Width differences at the narrowest point (+0.8 in, 2%) and in the width of the trunk opening (+2.8 in, 7%) are below 10% and therefore not marked as key differences; they only slightly affect usability.
