Trunk comparison: Peugeot 5008 vs Skoda Elroq

Comparison of trunk dimensions for the Peugeot 5008 and Skoda Elroq

Key Differences (Brief)

The most significant differences concern the volume depending on seat configuration and the usable width of the trunk. Highlights include:

Peugeot: +8.3 in (13%) longer trunk when all seats are folded down.
Peugeot: +9.8 in (31%) longer trunk when the first row of seats is upright.
Skoda: +18.1 in (135%) longer trunk when all seats are upright.
Peugeot: +5.9 in (15%) greater width at the narrowest point of the trunk.

Additional dimensions: The width of the trunk opening on the Peugeot is 10% larger (not highlighted as >10%), the height of the opening is +1.6 in (5%) on the Peugeot. Trunk depth and loading edge height are the same on both models.

Impact on Usability

For transporting long or flexible cargo with folded seats, the Peugeot has the advantage: with 13% more length, it offers more storage space when the rear seats are folded down. This makes it more suitable for furniture parts, long DIY store items, or bulky objects that can be laid over the folded seat surfaces.

When the first row of seats remains upright, the Peugeot even increases usable trunk space by 31% – practical when front seats must remain occupied (driver/passenger) and longer or bulkier items need to be transported behind the front seats.

In everyday use with all seats fully upright, the Skoda is clearly the more practical vehicle: it offers +135% significantly more cargo length with full seating. This means considerably more usable storage space during family trips, shopping, or luggage for multiple people without folding the seats down.

The greater narrow trunk width in the Peugeot (+15%) makes it easier to store wide or bulky items that would otherwise be difficult at the narrow point (e.g., strollers, wide boxes, or larger suitcases).

The slightly wider trunk opening on the Peugeot also helps with loading but has less impact than the main differences mentioned. Opening height and loading edge height differ little and hardly affect usability.

In summary: Peugeot offers more flexibility and more space for long or wide cargo with folded seats or when only the front seats are upright. Škoda Elroq is the better choice if regularly transporting larger quantities or longer luggage in the trunk with full seating.
