Trunk comparison: Peugeot 5008 vs Volvo XC60

Key Difference

The Volvo XC60 offers a trunk that is 24.4 in (182%) longer with all seats upright than the Peugeot 5008. This is the clear and only difference greater than 10% and has direct impact on everyday usability.

Impact on Usability

Because the XC60 provides significantly more cargo space with full seating, it is better suited when many passengers need to remain seated regularly while still transporting a lot of luggage or bulky items (e.g., strollers, groceries for several people, suitcases on trips).

Those who often travel fully occupied and need storage space clearly benefit from the XC60.

The Peugeot 5008, on the other hand, has a 3.9 in (6%) longer cargo area with seats folded down and a 3.5 in (9%) longer cargo area with the first row upright than the XC60 — these are smaller advantages below the 10% threshold.

Additionally, the 5008 offers a higher trunk opening (+2.4 in / 8%), a slightly greater depth (+0.4 in), a somewhat wider width at the narrowest point (+1.6 in / 4%), and a 0.4 in wider opening.

These features make the 5008 more practical for loading bulky or wide items and maneuvering cargo, especially when the seats are folded down.

The loading edge of the Volvo, however, is 1.2 in (4%) higher above the ground, which makes lifting heavy items a bit more strenuous. Overall, the summary is:

• Volvo XC60: clearly superior in storage space when all seats are in use.
• Peugeot 5008: easier loading, more usable width, and better opening height — advantageous for wider or taller cargo and use with folded seats.

Brief Conclusion

Those who frequently travel fully occupied with a lot of luggage should prefer the Volvo XC60. Those who often transport long, wide, or tall items or frequently fold down the seats are better served by the Peugeot 5008.
