The new Peugeot 5008 makes its debut. The Lion's largest SUV makes the most of the capabilities of Stellantis' STLA Medium platform, confirming its seven seats and becoming electric for the first time.

It will arrive in dealerships from autumn 2024 and will not just be electric. A light hybrid version and a plug-in hybrid version, both petrol-powered, will also be available at launch.

The first thing to note about the Peugeot 5008 2024 is certainly its dimensions. The length increases by 25 cm to 4.79 metres, while the height rises to 1.69 m (+5 cm) and the wheelbase increases by 16 cm (2.90 m). Width remains unchanged at 1.89 m.

As with the previous generation, the 5008 has largely retained the lines of its "sister" 3008. In particular, the new Peugeot confirms the large radiator grille with three-dimensional elements and the "claw" under the Pixel LED headlights, which adapt the light beam according to traffic conditions so as not to dazzle other cars.

The sides remain massive, with the option of fitting 19- or 20-inch wheels, while the rear is new. While the 3008 has a sloping rear end, the 5008 has a more classic, squared-off style to be more functional in terms of load capacity and interior space.

Attention to detail is also present. Instead of chrome, there are inserts in Meteor Grey and Orbital Black. Six colours are available at launch: Obsession Blue, Ingaro Blue, Okenite White, Pearl Black, Artense Grey and Titanium Grey, while a contrasting black roof is standard on the GT version.

The spectacular panoramic i-Cockpit is confirmed on board, with a curved 21-inch screen integrating the instrument cluster and infotainment. Apple Carplay and Android Auto are wireless, there's an integrated voice assistant with artificial intelligence ChatGPT and there's the VisioPark 360° camera system.

Ambient lighting above the dashboard enhances the feeling of space in the cabin, while the sporty-looking compact steering wheel (heated as standard) features paddles for regenerative braking.

More than 40 driving assistance systems equip the Peugeot, including adaptive cruise control with Stop&Go function and semi-automatic lane changing.

In practical terms, the 5008 seats up to seven people in three rows and is also very comfortable for luggage. If there are seven of you, you can enjoy a load capacity of 259 litres, while with the third-row seats folded down, this increases to 748 litres. Finally, with all the seats folded down, you get 1,815 litres and the ability to load objects up to two metres long.
