All-new Peugeot 5008 SUV

Funny how the Kodiaq was leaked to within an inch of its life, but this pops up with no pre-launch hype what so ever. Striking looking car, I admire that the French are re-discovering their mojo.

Stealing a few lines from the Range Rover Evoque?

Actually from a side profile I was thinking it looks exactly the Disco Sport!

As for power, its the 2Ltr Auto that would interest me. Light on the CO2's so should keep the price fairly competitive. Its the CO2's that is killing sales of the Auto Sorento, Santa Fe etc.

Never get a Peugeot trust me a friend of mine got Peugeot and it kept stoping and starting even when was new I would not recommend it at all.

That's how Stop-Start should work, shouldn't it? :]

Blow me down, but there's always one:rolleyes:.

Just found this Turkish(!) website with some new 5008 images I haven't seen before (other country's websites are also available, I'm sure ):
http://www.ahaber.com.tr/galeri/otomobil/2017-peugeot-5008
But specifically, this one shows the dimensions:

The crucial one there is labelled N across the back seats which is 1432mm - that's actually less than the old 5008 I linked to earlier which labelled N as 1442mm. So if Peugeot are using the same measuring criteria, that suggests the new 5008 is actually narrower across the back seats than the old one. :eek:
See http://www.peugeot.ie/range/find-your-vehicle/5008/technical-information.html

But bearing in mind when I personally measured the old 5008's actual seat base width as being 1320mm (which was less than my S-Max's 1400mm), I can only conclude that the new 5008, despite having 3 separate seats will not be wide enough for me to upgrade from the S-Max

Also, looking at the M measurement of overall internal width, the new (1432mm) is less than the old (1442mm). The external dimensions look wider on the new 5008 though, so where's all the space being wasted?

Im guessing the seats could very well be the exact same albeit upholstered differently. All SUV's are wider at the hips to make them SUV like. You look at the S-Max at the hips (cant think of anything else to describe it ) and the roof line, they are nearly as wide as each other. There's the big difference between MPV's and SUV's when looking at dimensions. Never really bought into the Kodiaq or the 5008 being big cars like an S-Max.

Yes, I'm starting to realise that now. I was hoping to get something other than a 7-seat MPV, but have found anything else isn't wide enough for 3 seated all the time in the back.

Even really big SUVs like the Q7 and XC90 don't have 3 separate middle row seats as spacious as the S-Max.

Why not try the new Renault Grand Scenic. Looks like a lovely car and might be what you want. Have only seen the new Scenic in the metal do but thought it looked fantastic the alloys as well.


grogi: Unfortunately the public buys what is shiny... Take an Insignia - overweight car, very small inside for the class with performance of a stone... And it sells great, because of the chromes and big wheelz...

The same goes to SUV. They don't really offer anything but attractive looks. They are heavier, less roomy and less efficient. And despite costing more than estates and more than MPV, they sell well. Because of the wheels I guess, so you don't care about the curbs...

SMAX is great car. Get it is sport guise and you'll be happy camper.

I don,t think that applies to all SUVs. The Dad had a C-Max but changed to a Kiaa Sportage and the Sportage is actually much more economical than the C-Max.

Dealer said its pretty much exact same as 5008 minus the two back seats.

I hope that's not the case because there's not much room in the back of a 3008. I had a look in one at Kenny Galway - nice inside, and I expect the 5008 to be similar, but I'm hoping the 3 middle seats will be at least as big as the old 5008, or it simply won't be big enough for my 3 kids...

a quick google suggests the 3008 is 1422 full width at 2nd row and 5008 is 1505,so while it probably wont be the full amount of the difference extra in the seats there should be a good difference

Links please? (To save me the redoing what you've already done...;))

just going on the blog, no real reason other than what they are marketing

The crucial one there is labelled N across the back seats which is 1432mm - that's actually less than the old 5008 I linked to earlier which labelled N as 1442mm. So if Peugeot are using the same measuring criteria, that suggests the new 5008 is actually narrower across the back seats than the old one.

1442mm minus 1432mm = 10 mm

10mm = 1cm less than the old 5008
