PEUGEOT 5008 HYBRID (2024) TESTED: COMFORT, TECH & 7 SEATS EXPLORED!

EV Channels Review

The Peugeot 5008 Hybrid (2024) is presented as a spacious and versatile seven-seater SUV, particularly suited for families needing extra seating and luggage capacity. The reviewer praises its recognizable Peugeot design, comfortable interior with good material feel, and the practical, eye-level instrument cluster. However, significant criticisms are leveled against the extensive use of fingerprint-attracting piano black trim and a genuinely distracting reflection of the dashboard's ventilation grille in the front windshield, especially on sunny days. The touchscreen interface, while functional, is deemed cumbersome for use while driving due to the need for visual confirmation of touches. The hybrid powertrain is described as adequate for city driving and moderate highway speeds but lacks power for more demanding situations like overtaking or high-speed driving, suggesting it could benefit from more horsepower. Despite these drawbacks, the 5008 is considered a strong contender for those specifically needing a flexible seven-seater, offering a comfortable ride and good practicality, though the reviewer personally finds it too large for their needs.
