Trunk comparison: Peugeot 5008 vs Durchschnitt Compact SUV
Key Differences (highlighted: >10%)
The Peugeot 5008 offers significantly more loading length with the seats folded down: +15.4 in (26%) longer than the average compact SUV.
With the first row of seats upright, the Peugeot is also longer: +11 in (36%). In contrast, the average SUV has a significantly larger trunk with all seats upright: +16.9 in (126%) more loading length than the 5008.
Regarding trunk depth (loading edge to trunk floor), the average SUV is noticeably ahead: +5.1 in (1300%) more than the Peugeot 5008. The width of the cargo area at its narrowest point is greater in the Peugeot: +6.7 in (17%), and the width of the trunk opening is also wider in the Peugeot: +6.3 in (16%).
Impact on Usability
Long items and flexible use: Thanks to the significantly greater loading length with folded seats (+15.4 in), the Peugeot 5008 is better suited for regularly transporting long items (e.g., slats, pipes, skis in a protective cover) or when you want to use the interior flexibly as a cargo area.
Transport with full seating rows: Those who often travel with all passengers and still need trunk space are better served by the average SUV. Its significantly larger cargo space with all seats upright (+16.9 in) offers more room for suitcases, shopping bags, or strollers without having to fold down seats.
Deeper cargo floor vs. wider opening: The greater depth in the average SUV (+5.1 in) allows for more vertical volume and easier stacking of luggage but may place lower-lying items further from the loading edge (potentially harder to reach).
The Peugeot scores with more width at the narrowest point (+6.7 in) and a wider opening (+6.3 in), which makes loading wider or bulkier items easier and handling during loading overall more comfortable.
Minor differences with little practical relevance: The trunk opening height is only 0.4 in higher in the Peugeot; the loading edge height above the road is 2 in higher in the average SUV. Both are minor differences and hardly affect everyday usability compared to the points mentioned above.
Conclusion: For users who regularly transport long or wide items and need flexible cargo space use, the Peugeot 5008 is advantageous. For families or users who need more trunk volume with full seating rows or want to stack deeper, the average compact SUV is the more practical choice.
