Trunk comparison: Peugeot 5008 vs VW ID.3

Key Differences (greater than 10%)

The cargo area of the Peugeot 5008 is 13.8 in (23%) longer than that of the VW ID.3 with the seats folded down; with the first row upright, the 5008's advantage is 10.2 in (33%). However, when all seats are upright, the trunk of the VW ID.3 is 17.7 in (132%) longer than that of the Peugeot.

The depth from the loading edge to the trunk floor is 5.9 in (1500%) greater in the ID.3, and the loading edge of the ID.3 is 3.1 in (12%) higher above the ground. In width, the Peugeot offers 5.5 in (14%) more space at the narrowest point, and the trunk opening is 6.7 in (18%) wider on the Peugeot.

Impact on Usability

For long or bulky cargo with folded seats, the Peugeot is clearly advantageous: the longer cargo length and wider opening make it easier to store long items, furniture, or bulky packages. The greater width at the narrowest point simplifies maneuvering wider objects inside.

The VW ID.3 scores in everyday use with upright seating: its significantly longer trunk with all seats upright offers more usable space for luggage and shopping without folding the seats.

The greater depth of the cargo area (5.9 in more) increases usable vertical volume and allows for more stacking or storing taller items within the trunk.

At the same time, the loading edge being 3.1 in higher means that heavy cargo must be lifted over the threshold with more effort, making loading physically more demanding.

In short: Those who frequently transport long and wide items or need maximum pass-through width benefit from the Peugeot 5008. Those who mostly travel with all seats occupied and prefer more usable volume with upright seating and a deeper cargo well are better served by the VW ID.3—provided the higher loading edge is not an issue.
