PEUGEOT E-5008 LONG TERM REVIEW: CAN IT BEAT THE HYUNDAI IONIQ 9?

EV Channels Review

After a six-month long-term test, the Peugeot E-5008 is revealed to be a highly practical and comfortable family EV, excelling in everyday usability and flexibility. The reviewer praises its spacious interior, comfortable seating (including the third row for children), and the intuitive cockpit design with a responsive Apple CarPlay integration and customizable toggles. The ride quality is highlighted as exceptionally smooth and quiet, even over poor road surfaces. While the claimed WLTP range is 310 miles, real-world summer driving yielded around 263 miles, dropping to approximately 210 miles in cooler weather. Performance is deemed adequate for family duties, with eco-mode being the preferred setting for efficiency. The reviewer finds the E-5008's size manageable for parking, especially with the 360-degree cameras, making it feel less imposing than larger rivals like the Kia EV9. The main drawbacks noted are the removal of ISOFIX points on the middle bench (now only on the outer seats) and the lack of USB-C ports in the third row. Despite a price point just over £54,000, the reviewer concludes that the E-5008 offers excellent value and flexibility for families, making it a strong contender in the seven-seater EV market.
