Is the Peugeot 5008 a good car?

We highly rated the previous Peugeot 5008 as a versatile family car, and the good news is that this latest incarnation provides more of what we already liked. Space and practicality have been improved, there’s more equipment onboard, and you have a diverse choice of powertrains – including an all-electric version for the first time.

The design inside and out is even more striking than its predecessor, and its interior style and quality continue to impress. The entry-level 5008 Hybrid should suit most needs, but you go for a plug-in hybrid for lower Benefit-in-Kind (BiK), or the all-electric E-5008 with even lower tax costs, along with greater refinement and further polish to the driving experience.

How much does the Peugeot 5008 cost?

Prices for the Peugeot 5008 start from around £38,000, which is similar to the Skoda Kodiaq. The 5008 Plug-in Hybrid, meanwhile, has an electric driving range of up to 48 miles, and starts from £44,500. In comparison, the plug-in hybrid Skoda Kodiaq iV boasts an even more impressive EV range of 75 miles and starts from just under £42k, but it only comes with five seats, whereas the Peugeot has seven. 

Finally, the all-electric E-5008 is priced at around £48,500 in 73kWh form, or £51,500 for the Long Range 97kWh model. The former provides up to 311 miles of range, while the latter boasts an astonishing range of up to 414 miles. A variant with all-wheel drive and 315bhp is in the pipeline.

The move to electrification shows just how far the 5008 has come since it was introduced in 2009 as a slightly ungainly seven-seat MPV. Its second outing in 2017 reinvented the 5008 as a stylish large SUV, which was much better received by both motoring critics and car buyers alike. It’s very much evolution rather than revolution with the third-generation model, which builds on the foundation of its popular predecessor.

Both the 5008 and E-5008 are available in two trim levels: Allure and GT. Standard kit on every model includes a 21-inch panoramic digital driver’s display and infotainment touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, a wireless charging pad, keyless entry and start, ambient lighting, a reversing camera, rear parking sensors, LED headlights and 19-inch alloy wheels.

Upgrading to GT trim costs around £4,000, and in return adds a hands-free tailgate, heated front seats and steering wheel, adaptive cruise control, rear window blinds, Alcantara upholstery, 20-inch rims and pixel LED headlights.

Right now, every Peugeot 5008 and E-5008 is fitted with seven seats, but the brand’s UK boss has confirmed to Auto Express that next year it will be introducing a five-seat version for those who don’t need the third row. 

Engines, performance & drive

The Peugeot 5008 delivers the kind of on-road experience you’d expect of a large SUV aimed at families: it’s generally comfortable, quiet and easy to drive, with our biggest gripes being a slightly fidgety ride and the potential for the base Hybrid version to struggle with a car load of up to seven people, given its rather long 11.3 second 0-62mph time. The more powerful 207bhp E-5008 offers a swifter 9.7 second 0-62mph time, along with greater refinement and a more polished driving experience. Read more about the engines, performance and drive of the Peugeot 5008…

MPG, emissions & running costs

The breadth of electrified powertrains offered in the 5008 means there’s a version to suit every driver and their lifestyle. Even the entry-level hybrid can return up to 52.5mpg, according to Peugeot, while the plug-in hybrid offers a 48-mile EV range and superior fuel efficiency. But of course, company car drivers will be drawn to the zero-emissions E-5008, which boasts an astounding 415-mile range. Read more about the MPG, emissions and running costs of the Peugeot 5008…

Interior, design & technology

The 5008’s starship looks are guaranteed to draw attention, but the interior design is the real star of the show. It features a 21-inch panoramic display that curves around the driver, while pools of ambient lighting illuminate the dashboard. The overall cabin quality is good, too, although Peugeot’s infotainment system still lags behind rivals. Read more about the interior, design and technology of the Peugeot 5008…

Boot space, comfort & practicality

As you’d hope for such a large SUV, the 5008 offers a huge amount of space for both passengers and all their luggage. Every version comes with seven seats as standard, and accessing the rearmost seats is quick and easy. There are just two sets of ISOFIX child seat mounting points, however, which could be a deal-breaker for anyone with lots of young children. Some rivals have higher towing capacities too.

Reliability & safety

The latest 5008 hasn't been around long enough to feature in our latest Driver Power owner satisfaction survey, although Peugeot as a brand performed well and finished sixth (out of 32) in the latest manufacturer rankings. Euro NCAP hasn’t given the car a safety rating yet either, but it does come with a good amount of standard safety features, such as lane keep assistance, driver attention alert, advanced emergency braking and traffic sign recognition. Read more about the reliability and safety of the Peugeot 5008…

Peugeot 5008 alternatives 

The Peugeot 5008 is one of several large SUVs available with seven seats on the market, with our favourite in this particular class being the Skoda Kodiaq – the latest iteration was recently named the Auto Express Large SUV of the Year for 2024. Other rivals include the boldly styled Hyundai Santa Fe, the Kia Sorento and the Nissan X-Trail. While there aren’t many seven-seat EVs, the E-5008 does pose a threat to electric SUVs and family cars such as the Skoda Enyaq and Renault Scenic

Frequently Asked Questions

The pure-electric E-5008 offers the most refined driving experience of the range, while the base Allure trim comes with most of the equipment you’re likely to need.
