Trunk comparison: Peugeot 308 SW 3-row vs VW Touran

Key Differences (highlighted deviations >10%)

The most noticeable difference is the usable length with the seats folded down: the Touran offers +13.4 in (23%) more cargo length than the Peugeot 308 SW (3-row).

The Peugeot stands out particularly in the depth between the loading edge and the trunk floor: here the 308 has +1.2 in (300%) more depth than the Touran. Additionally, the loading edge of the Touran is +2.4 in (11%) higher above the ground than that of the Peugeot.

Impact on Usability

The greater cargo length of the Touran with folded seats makes it clearly better suited for long items (e.g., boards, long furniture parts, skis) or when a lot of flat cargo space is regularly needed. Those who frequently transport long loads benefit from the Touran.

The significantly greater depth of the Peugeot (loading edge → trunk floor) combined with the lower loading edge means less lifting effort when loading and a deeper cargo floor "well." This makes it easier to slide in heavy or bulky items and ensures that cargo sits deeper and thus more stable.

For frequent loading/unloading of heavy loads or bulky boxes, the Peugeot is often more practical.

The higher loading edge of the Touran can make lifting larger or heavier items more difficult but is sensible in combination with the greater length when items are to be loaded flat and far in.

Minor differences (under 10%) such as slightly more width at the narrowest point in the Touran (+1.6 in) or a larger opening width in the Peugeot (+3.5 in) are less decisive for most everyday cases but can matter when fitting very wide boxes or maneuvering bulky parts.
