Trunk comparison: Peugeot 5008 vs VW Tiguan

Key Differences and Usability

The Peugeot 5008 offers 6.7 in or 19% more trunk length with the front seats upright than the VW Tiguan. This means: when the rear seats are folded down and only the front row is in use, the 5008 is better suited for longer loads (e.g., long furniture pieces, slats, skis) because it provides more usable cargo length.

Conversely, the VW Tiguan has a trunk that is 21.3 in or 159% larger with all seats fully upright than the 5008. This is relevant for families or trips with full seating occupancy: with all seats in use, the Tiguan offers significantly more trunk space, making it easier to accommodate suitcases or shopping without folding down seats.

Regarding trunk width, the Peugeot 5008 also leads: the narrowest point in the trunk is 5.5 in or 14% wider than in the Tiguan. This makes the 5008 more practical for wide or bulky items that need to be loaded crosswise.

Other smaller differences: the trunk opening of the 5008 is 2.4 in (8%) higher, while the Tiguan’s load lip is 2 in (7%) higher above the ground — this slightly affects loading and unloading heavy items (lower load lip = easier lifting).

The trunk depth is the same in both models, the 5008’s trunk opening is only marginally (1.6 in; 4%) wider, and with all seats folded down, the 5008 has only about 6.3 in (9%) longer cargo space — this difference is under 10%.

Conclusion: For flexible loads and wider/bulkier items, the Peugeot 5008 is advantageous, especially when the rear seats are folded down. For trips with full seating and the need for a lot of trunk volume, the VW Tiguan is clearly more practical.
