The Peugeot 5008 boasts a sleek and modern design, featuring sharp lines, a prominent front grille, and Peugeot’s signature ‘claw’ LED daytime running lights. The elongated body and sculpted features not only enhance its visual appeal but also contribute to aerodynamic efficiency. The e-5008, the electric variant, shares this striking design, with subtle badging to denote its electrified nature.

Inside, the 5008 features Peugeot’s innovative i-Cockpit, which includes a compact steering wheel, a configurable digital instrument cluster, and a responsive touchscreen infotainment system. High-quality materials and ambient lighting create an inviting atmosphere. However, some drivers may find the driving position, influenced by the small steering wheel and instrument placement, takes some acclimation.

Front passengers will appreciate the supportive seats and ample space. The 5008 offers a seven-seat configuration, with the rear two seats folding neatly into the floor when not in use. While the third row is best suited for children or shorter journeys, the middle row provides generous legroom and headroom for adults. The boot offers a practical capacity for daily use, and with the rear seats folded, it can accommodate larger items. The e-5008 maintains similar interior space, as the battery placement does not encroach on passenger or cargo areas.

The 5008 comes equipped with a suite of modern technologies, including smartphone integration via Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, wireless charging, and a range of driver assistance systems such as adaptive cruise control and lane-keeping assist. The e-5008 includes EV-specific features, like real-time energy consumption data and pre-conditioning, enhancing the electric driving experience.

Peugeot 5008 (Mild Hybrid and Plug-in Hybrid): The mild hybrid pairs a 1.2-litre petrol engine with a six-speed dual-clutch gearbox and an integrated 21bhp electric motor, offering a combined output of 134bhp. This setup provides adequate performance for daily driving, with the electric motor assisting during acceleration to improve fuel efficiency. The plug-in hybrid variant combines a 1.6-litre petrol engine with an electric motor, delivering a total of 192bhp and an electric range of up to 48 miles, making it suitable for short commutes on electric power alone.

Peugeot e-5008: The fully electric e-5008 offers a choice between a 73kWh battery, providing up to 311 miles of range, and a 98kWh battery, extending the range to approximately 415 miles. The electric motor delivers smooth and quiet acceleration, making it well-suited for urban driving and long-distance travel. The regenerative braking system enhances energy efficiency, while multiple driving modes allow drivers to tailor the experience to their preferences.
