Trunk comparison: Peugeot 5008 vs Renault Clio
Key Differences
When it comes to cargo volume, the advantages vary depending on the seat configuration: With the seats folded down, the Peugeot 5008 offers +22 in (42%) longer cargo space than the Renault Clio.
If only the front seats in the first row are upright, the 5008 also has the longer cargo floor: +13.4 in (48%). However, with all seats upright, the Renault Clio has a larger trunk than the 5008: +14.6 in (109%).
Other significant differences favoring the Peugeot 5008 are the width: the narrowest point of the trunk is +5.5 in (14%) wider, and the width of the trunk opening is +5.1 in (13%) larger than in the Clio.
The Renault Clio shows a very strong deviation in trunk depth (loading edge to trunk floor): it is +29.9 in (7600%) "deeper" here than the 5008. Additionally, the loading edge of the Peugeot 5008 is +17.7 in (188%) higher above the road than that of the Clio.
Impact on Usability
Transport length and volume: If you transport long items (e.g., furniture, slatted frames, long boxes), the Peugeot 5008 is clearly advantageous as long as seats are folded down or only the front seats are used. The 5008 then offers significantly more usable loading length.
Everyday use with full occupancy: If all seats are occupied and trunk space is needed for shopping bags or travel suitcases, the Renault Clio is more advantageous — it has the larger trunk with full seating.
Width and opening: The 5008 is wider at the narrowest point and has a larger opening width. It is therefore better suited for wide or bulky items that need to lie flat rather than deep.
Depth and vertical loading: The greater "depth" of the Clio means it has more vertical space or a deeper cargo well — practical for tall items loaded upright or for stacking inside the trunk.
Ergonomics when loading and unloading: The significantly higher loading edge of the Peugeot (±17.7 in) makes loading heavy items more demanding; the Clio with its lower loading edge is more comfortable for lifting and sliding loads close to the ground.
Conclusion: For families, craftsmen, or users who frequently transport long or wide loads, the Peugeot 5008 is overall more practical. For city drivers, commuters, or users who need vertical storage space with full occupancy and a lower loading edge, the Renault Clio is the better choice.
