Peugeot 5008 - Reliability & safety

The third-generation Peugeot 5008 hasn’t received a crash safety rating from industry expert Euro NCAP yet, and neither has its sister car, the Peugeot 3008. 

Every 5008 features driver attention alert, lane keep assist, traffic and speed sign recognition, an advanced emergency braking system, a reversing camera and rear parking sensors. Higher-spec models benefit from adaptive cruise control with stop and go functionality, front parking sensors and adaptive Pixel LED headlights.

More driver assistance tech is available as optional extras, including long-range blind spot monitoring, rear cross traffic alert and a 360-degree camera system. Peugeot’s ‘Highway Assist 2.0’ system is only available with GT trim, and combines adaptive cruise control, lane

Warranty

The Peugeot 5008 comes with a three-year/60,000-mile warranty as standard, which is the same amount of coverage you get with a Skoda Kodiaq, but doesn’t match the five or seven-year warranties offered by Hyundai and Kia, respectively. 

However the Peugeot Allure Care programme gives E-5008 drivers the opportunity to extend the cover for the battery and electric drive system up to a maximum of eight years/100,000 miles (whichever comes first). All they need to do is make sure scheduled maintenance is carried out within the Peugeot-approved network.

Servicing

Peugeot says the 5008 Hybrid and Plug-in Hybrid need to be serviced once a year or every 16,000 miles (whichever comes first). Meanwhile the E-5008 needs to be looked at for the first time after one year or 8,000 miles, then scheduled maintenance is only required once every two years or 16,000 miles (again, whichever comes first).

Peugeot offers three levels of service plans, starting with three years or 30,000 miles, four years or 40,000 miles, or five years or 50,000 miles. Pricing starts from around £19 per month for the E-5008 and Hybrid 136 e-DSC6 versions, or £22.50 per month for the plug-in hybrid.
