Video Summary
Here's a summary of the video review:The Peugeot e-5008 is a seven-seater electric SUV.
Design: The design on the e-5008 is similar to the e-3008; however, the e-5008 has a longer, more station wagon-like design. It is original and stylish, especially in the GT trim and the blue paint.
Weight: It is more than two tons, though feels lighter to drive.
Launch version: The test car has 210 hp, front-wheel drive, and a 73 kWh battery.
Range: Expect 350-400 km in mixed driving; longer range models will be available with 230 hp and 98 kWh battery; there is also an all-wheel-drive version with 320 hp.
Interior: The interior is identical to the i-3008 with a modern dashboard. High-tech and great to see, the infotainment system is only decent.
Infotainment: Planning long-distance travel is easy with the in-car route planner. Some functions of the infotainment system are a bit slow or buggy.
Materials: The interior uses high-quality materials; however, they are sometimes a bit hard and may reflect quality.
Driving experience: The reviewer found the steering to be artificial feeling and overly light, but this contributes to feeling less of the weight of the car. The suspension is soft, which results in some body roll during cornering. The 210-hp motor seems underpowered.
Battery pre-conditioning: The e-5008 does not have battery pre-conditioning, which is unusual.
Recharge Times: The e-5008 takes an average of 40 minutes to recharge. A charging curve graphic shows the rate falls after 60% full.
Driver assistance features: Driver aids work well. Active safety features and autonomous driving assist is good.
Rear space: The second-row seats are comfortable and slide. The third row is best for kids or teens. The cargo area is reduced with the third-row seats in place; however, there's a double floor for the cables.
Frunk: The e-5008 does not have a frunk.
Overall: While an electric utility vehicle might be wanted, the e-5008 is a car first, but should have been better. Peugeot, however, is aiming high with a better touch on the premium models. It will sell based on name and look, but customers need to be informed about what it really offers. Peugeot still needs to improve battery management and performance to compete with the new competition. The presenter finds it okay but says "this time it is not so perfect!"
