Comparison: Boot space Peugeot 408 vs. competitors 2025

How much cargo can handle this medium SUV?

The current generation Peugeot 408 boasts a generous 536 liters of boot space. Enthusiasts like Jeremy Clarkson would probably call it a TARDIS on wheels as it seems much bigger on the inside than it looks from the outside. And if you need more room for larger items, folding the rear seats expands the trunk size to an impressive 1,611 liters. But how does the Peugeot 408's boot space measure up against different generations and its nearest competitors? Let's find out!

Peugeot 408 - How has the boot space changed over the generations?

As we only have data for the current generation (2023-now) of the Peugeot 408, we cannot compare it with any previous generations.

Offering ample room for luggage, shopping, or even a small family of hobbits, the Peugeot 408 has undoubtedly become an attractive option for those who need the extra cargo room.
