Pros Roomy and attractive cabin Many desirable standard features Strong fuel economy
Cons Dull handling Less cargo space than most competitors
Ahead of an updated 5008 coming in early 2021, we find out if it’s worth striking a deal on Peugeot’s seven-seater SUV.
Pros Seven seats in a smaller-than-average large SUV Cabin’s second-row space and perceived quality Comfortable and composed driving manners Plenty of equipment even in GT-Line spec
Cons Turbo petrol a bit undercooked for the 5008’s size Cramped third row for adults Third-row seats lack ISOFIX or top-tether points Updated 5008 here in early 2021
Peugeot ditches MPVs, does crossovers instead. Seven-seat 5008 is the biggest yet.
Pros Cabin layout and space, comfort.
Cons No AWD, dull to drive, driving position doesn’t suit all, looks.
A substantial chrome grille plays a large part in the 5008’s aggressive demeanour, showing that this SUV means business.
Pros Rakish design, inside and out Cultured diesel engine Impressively versatile ergonomics
Cons Peculiar driving environment Fussy ride quality on less than perfect roads Expensive at higher trim levels
