Video Summary
Here's a summary of the key points and findings from the YouTube video:The Peugeot e-5008 is praised for its striking design. The ground clearance is approximately 20cm, an acceptable number. The new model is larger than the previous generation, with an increased length, wheelbase and width, with its height also having been expanded. The difference in height and ground clearance help conceal the traction battery.
It is available with 73kWh or 97kWh battery, but only weighing 40 kg more with the larger battery. It has 210 or 230 horsepower respectively; a 320 hp standard range dual motor version is coming soon. Range, WLP, is 482-500km in the standard range model, and 629-664km in the extended range model.

Other available options, as well, a 195-horsepower PHEV and a 136-horsepower mild hybrid.
EV and mild hybrid can tow up to 1000kg; the PHEV up to 1300kg
The 210-hp EV will go 0-100 kph in 9.7 seconds and the tester got 9.11s.
The car has comfortable suspension, making it a family MPV, but the seat headrest angle is too steep, it’s slippery, and soundproofing above 100km/h is not great. There is a third-row lighting setup for passengers.

The price of the Peugeot 5008 starts at 43,140 EUR for the mild hybrid.
