The Peugeot 5008 is a desirable seven-seat SUV that gives you the interior space and flexibility of an MPV. It’s essentially a longer, taller version of the Peugeot 3008 with a more spacious interior. It’s available with a wide choice of trims, and running costs are kept low by a range of fuel-efficient petrol and diesel engines.
The second-generation Peugeot 5008 we’re focusing on here was introduced in 2017, replacing the old 5008 MPV which had been on sale since 2009. A light update in 2020 brought some minor design changes and added a few new features.
At the 5008’s introduction in 2017, four trim levels were available: Active as the entry-level model, Allure and GT Line as the mid-range options and GT as the sporty model. A GT Line Premium arrived in 2018 to bridge the gap between GT Line and GT.
The 2020 update coincided with a revised trim range consisting of Active Premium+, Allure Premium+, GT and GT Premium. An all-new 5008 is due to be introduced in 2024.
All versions of the Peugeot 5008 come with a touchscreen infotainment system in the centre of the dashboard, but the size of the screen depends on the age of the car. On 2017-2020 models it’ll be an 8-inch screen with controls for the dual-zone climate control, digital radio and smartphone connectivity, plus – on Allure versions and above – the sat nav. In the 2020 update, Peugeot 5008 models got a larger 10-inch screen with a higher resolution and an easier-to-use interface.
Every 5008 has a 12.3-inch digital instrument panel which lets you configure your preferred driving information and show the sat nav instructions (if fitted).
For the best fuel economy you’ll want to look at a Peugeot 5008 with a diesel engine. It’s best to ignore the official figures of early cars because later 5008s use numbers based on the lower (and more realistic) WLTP test. The most fuel-efficient is the 1.5-litre BlueHDi diesel engine, which gives anything between 50mpg and 60mpg according to official figures.
The 1.2-litre and 1.6-litre turbocharged petrol engines are reasonably fuel-efficient, giving between 35mpg and 45mpg. In all cases, cars with a six-speed manual gearbox are likely to be more economical than those with an eight-speed automatic gearbox. A full hybrid model that combines a 1.2-litre petrol engine with an electric motor for an official average of up to 53.3mpg was added to the range in 2023.
Rivals for the Peugeot 5008 include seven-seat SUVs such as the Hyundai Santa Fe, Kia Sorento, Land Rover Discovery Sport and Volkswagen Tiguan Allspace.
Other seven-seat rivals include the Citroen Berlingo and Dacia Jogger, although these lack the comfort and style of the 5008. Overall, the 5008 is a great all-rounder that’s stylish, comfortable and comparatively cost-effective.
The Peugeot 5008 is a very practical car that allows you to carry lots of people or luggage, or a mix of the two.
There’s lots of room in the first two rows of seats, with the second row able to seat three adults in comfort. The Peugeot 5008 is also one of only a few SUVs that has Isofix child seat fittings for all three second-row seats, rather than just the outer two. Legroom and headroom in the third-row seats is rather tight but they’re very handy if your children’s friends need a lift or you’re taking the grandparents out for a Sunday lunch.
In five-seat mode, the 5008 offers 702 litres of boot space, which is more than you get in just about any large estate car. The middle seats also fold down completely flat, increasing the size of the load space to 1,940 litres. All five seats in the back two rows can fold down individually, so you have lots of flexibility whether you are transporting skis or holiday luggage.
The 5008 is Peugeot’s largest SUV, sitting above the 2008 and 3008. It’s not the only seven-seater, though, because Peugeot also offers the pure-electric Rifter and Traveller MPVs. The 5008 we’re focusing on uses many of the same interior, exterior and mechanical parts with the 3008 SUV.
Peugeot cars goes from the compact 208 small hatchback to the large(ish) 508 saloon and estate. Most of its current models are available with petrol, diesel, hybrid or pure-electric power.
Although the Peugeot 5008 hasn’t been tested by the independent safety organisation Euro NCAP, it shares a five-star rating with the smaller and mechanically similar 3008.
Among the features included as standard are multiple airbags, three Isofix points in the middle row for child-safety seats, speed limit recognition, automatic emergency braking and a lane-departure warning system. As part of the 2020 update, Peugeot added a night vision option for GT trims, which helps to improve visibility in poor light conditions.
There are no pure-electric versions of the Peugeot 5008, although a hybrid version, badged Hybrid 136, was added to the range in 2023. As well as improving fuel economy by 15%, the hybrid version also emits lower levels of carbon dioxide (CO2).
Pure-electric and plug-in hybrid versions are expected to arrive in 2024 with the introduction of the all-new 5008 SUV.
