Video Summary
- The electric Peugeot e-5008 SUV seats seven, which puts it in a unique market position, with few other electric seven-seaters available in the UK.- Although it shares features with the 3008, it's larger: 25 cm longer, with 16 cm more in the wheelbase.
- This added length provides more space in the second and third rows, and makes for a larger rear door.
- A one-person motion allows access to the third row, but it's a little heavy, making it easier for bigger kids to use than smaller ones.
- Rear space is fine for kids, but adults will find it tight.
- A hollowing-out before the rear axle makes for increased foot space in the third row.
- The third row space is similar to that of the model that came before.
- In the cabin is a 21-inch screen that combines driver information, radio, and navigation systems; there is wireless CarPlay and Android Auto; and there are customizable shortcut i-toggles.
- The total interior design is improved, with lots of fabrics and reflective materials; gloss-black elements are minimal.
- The interior appears premium.
- Claimed luggage space is up to 259 liters with all seven seats in use, 748 liters with the third row stowed, and 1815 liters with the second and third rows down.
- The e-5008 will launch with three electric powertrain options, including two with a single motor and one with a dual motor.
- The single-motor options are available with either 201 or 223 brake horsepower, and with a 73-kWh or 98-kWh battery pack.
- The 73-kWh model gets up to 327 miles on a charge; the 98-kWh version gets over 400 miles.
- The dual-motor version has 321 brake horsepower, is all-wheel drive, and is only available with the smaller 73-kWh battery.
- Two hybrid models will also be offered: A 1.2-liter 3-cylinder petrol engine with a 48-volt mild hybrid system, and a more substantial 192-brake horsepower plug-in hybrid that is coming later.
- A high price is expected: A cost of around 2.500 pounds more than the e-3008 means that is is going to start at close to 50 grand, with the top-spec ev's reaching close to 60.
- The mild hybrid 3 cylinder engine is expected to bring down the cost to the high 30s.
- The car's new styling was designed to make it more stylish and premium.
- The non-radial wheels that Peugeot uses make the car appear more stylish.
- To achieve cleaner body lines, weather shields that usually frame the windows are absent.
