Trunk comparison: Peugeot 308 SW 3-row vs Skoda Superb Wagon

Key Differences (Values > 10% Highlighted)

The Škoda Superb Wagon offers significantly more usable cargo space in the situations that demand the most room: With seats folded down, the Superb is +26.8 in (≈47%) longer than the Peugeot, and with all seats fully upright, the advantage is even +28 in (≈203%).

Additionally, the trunk depth (from loading edge to trunk floor) is +1.6 in (100%) greater in the Škoda.

What Does This Mean in Practice?

Space and Flexibility: The Škoda clearly has the advantage with maximum cargo area and when loaded with all seats in use. The significantly greater cargo length with folded seats makes transporting long items (e.g., furniture, long sports equipment) easier and allows for flatter loading over a greater distance.

When all seats are upright, the Superb offers so much more trunk space that it is better suited for family trips with full passenger load and simultaneous luggage needs.

Loading Height and Depth: The greater depth of the Škoda (100% more) means items can be stacked further back and deeper in the trunk — useful for bulky or tall loads that require space between the loading edge and floor.

In practice, this means fewer restrictions when stacking and a lower chance that luggage partially extends outside the trunk.

Peugeot-specific Points (no >10% advantages): The Peugeot 308 SW (3-row) has a slightly taller trunk opening height and width (each under 10%) as well as a minimal length advantage with the first row upright.

These smaller differences somewhat favor lifting tall items in, but do not compensate for the significantly smaller usable cargo length and depth of the Peugeot, especially when the third row is in use.

Conclusion

For users who frequently transport long or bulky items, need a lot of luggage space with full occupancy, or generally want a larger, deeper cargo area, the Škoda Superb Wagon is the more practical choice.

The Peugeot 308 SW (3-row) offers additional passenger flexibility through the third row but has significantly less usable trunk space in the relevant situations.
