PEUGEOT E5008 - FINALLY, THE PEUGEOT WE HAVE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR!

EV Channels Review

The Peugeot E5008 is presented as a significant step forward for the French brand in the electric vehicle market, particularly for those needing practicality and space. The reviewer highlights its striking design, which is a familiar Peugeot theme but applied successfully to a larger, more practical seven-seat SUV form factor. Inside, the E5008 receives high praise for its "best in class" interior, featuring a large curved display, excellent ergonomics, and a comfortable, driver-focused cockpit. Practicality is a major win, with impressive boot space figures (348L with all seven seats up, over 2,000L with seats folded) and thoughtful storage solutions. The reviewer is particularly impressed with the usable space in the third row, noting it's more accommodating than some rivals. Range is another strong point, with the larger 98 kWh battery offering a WLTP figure of up to 410 miles, achieving parity with combustion engine cars. However, the E5008 is not without its drawbacks. The reviewer notes that it's not the most dynamic car in its class, with slightly vague steering and a ride that can feel a bit floaty on harsh surfaces, though generally comfortable. Pricing is also a concern, with the GT trim tested approaching £55,000 with options, placing it in premium territory. The reviewer also questions whether sibling brands within Stellantis might offer similar vehicles for less money. Despite these points, the E5008 is considered a strong contender, especially for families prioritizing space and a premium interior experience.
