Trunk comparison: Peugeot 308 SW 3-row vs Skoda Elroq
Key Differences
There are clear differences in usable cargo space depending on seat configuration: With the seats folded down, the Škoda Elroq offers a trunk that is 8.7 in (15%) longer than the Peugeot, while with the front row upright, the Peugeot 308 SW 3-row is 11 in (35%) longer.
Particularly notable is that with all seats upright, the Škoda Elroq has a cargo space that is 17.7 in (129%) longer.
Opening height and loading height also differ significantly: The trunk opening of the Peugeot is 5.1 in (17%) higher, and the interior depth from the loading edge to the trunk floor is 1.2 in (300%) greater in the Peugeot.
Conversely, the loading edge of the Škoda Elroq sits 5.1 in (23%) higher above the ground, which affects loading. The narrowest width of the cargo area differs only slightly (+0.4 in/1% in favor of the Peugeot), and the Peugeot's opening width is 3.9 in (10%) larger.
Practical Differences
For long or flat loads with folded seats, the Škoda has the advantage: the additional length of 8.7 in allows for longer items or more stacked pieces.
If the front seats must remain upright (everyday use with passengers in front), the Peugeot offers significantly more loading length (+11 in) and thus more flexibility for transporting longer items without folding the seats.
With normal occupancy (all rows upright), the difference favors the Škoda by a large margin (+17.7 in): the Elroq offers considerably more trunk space behind the last row, making it more practical for families or trips with full occupancy.
The higher trunk opening and greater interior depth of the Peugeot provide more vertical space and a deeper loading floor, which facilitates storing bulky, tall items.
The lower loading edge of the Peugeot (since the Škoda's loading edge is higher) reduces the effort required to lift heavy loads; conversely, the Škoda requires slightly more effort when lifting or more frequent pushing/sliding.
In summary: the Škoda Elroq scores with usable length with folded seats and significantly larger trunk space with full occupancy; the Peugeot 308 SW 3-row offers better vertical loading conditions, a lower loading edge, and more loading length in everyday configurations with the front row upright.
