2017 Peugeot 5008 SUV Review - Inside Lane

This is the all-new Peugeot 5008 SUV and it is a departure from the MPV it replaces. Sporting a new stylish design, the handsome 5008 takes many characteristics from the popular 3008 SUV. Our test car was powered by a 178bhp 2.0 litre BlueHDi diesel engine pair to its 6 speed automatic transmission. Peugeot claim 64 MPG combined.
The Peugeot 5008 SUV seats 7 with the middle row being adjustable. High quality design makes the Peugeot i-Cockpit which features a 12.3 inch drivers display. An 8 inch touchscreen infotainment display comes standard. Boot space is 1060 litre withs he rearmost seats folded flat.
Peugeot has yet to release full pricing for the new 5008, but expect it to be around £2,000 more than an equivalent 3008 SUV. It will go on sale in July.

I respect you SO much for keeping eyes on the road instead of talking into the camera mate. Well done, almost no reviewers do this!

[@267boxer]

This is the best review I've seen so far. also very good pictures of all details. Well done and thanks!!

[@johnevans6399]

As usual a professional and thorough review. If I wasn't about to buy a 3008, the 5008 might be in contention. Demand a pay rise you deserve one. 💎

[@insidelane]

+john evans Haha! Cheers.

[@TyranadeP]

This is my next car. Been waiting months for a video review. Thanks! Went to have a look at its little brother the 3008 suv and was thoroughly impressed.

[@insidelane]

+Marie-Louise Patwardhan Glad you liked the review! 3008 is a fantastic car and 5008 is more of the same.

[@peepinR]

Wow! I like this. I hope Peugeot can be made available in the states again. I remember my friend's stepdad having a Peugeot. It looked classy.

[@CharllesC78]

Well, well. You know how to review a car nicely! Great review!

[@banno69]

Great review buddy. I always enjoy your work. This and the 3008 are strong contenders for my next family wagon.

[@insidelane]

Thank you! It's alway hard work to get these videos shot and edited quickly on a launch, so it's nice to hear that you like them. 5008 is a great car.

[@jrmaty]

Great review - though I thought the 3 ISOFIX points in the middle row may have been worth a mention, only Ford and Citroen offer cars with this feature to my knowledge - and they're MPVs, rather than as SUV. Also - thanks for being so quick with getting the video up - first English one!

[@jamiep61]

Great Review and I would recommend It for Families

[@stubones]

Great review. The 5008 is pretty impressive for what it is. A definite contender for many people.

[@insidelane]

+stubones Thank you. Glad you liked it! 5008 is a huge step forward over the old car.

[@AdamJorgensen]

I really like my 2012.5 5008. I'm rather sad they won't be bringing the new one to South Africa :-(

[@stubones]

Unlucky boet :)

[@alfamonk]

tried a 3008 recently, very impressed. Annoyingly the seats have a really short base though - i'm 6'3 and there was zero thigh/knee support. i think the GT has a seat-extension panel like some BM's but of course on these test drives they always give you top-spec!

[@insidelane]

GT cars do come with those extensions. Yeah, we will test other trim levels and engines once the 5008 hits the UK.

[@thedons4270]

I saw a top spec GT 3008 in Poland last week in the flesh for first time. its absolutely stunning! real high quality, a big step above the competition, especially the Seat Alteca which looks very dull in comparison.

[@conorcranks5617]

Nice. The 3008 is probably the nicest SUV I've ever seen. Seen one in the flesh yesterday. May just ave to swap my 308 for one. Which I love.

[@insidelane]

We named 3008 SUV our family car of 2016. Very impressive.

[@cosminsil]

Thanks for this good review! The leather seats are promoted by Peugeot as "vignale"? :D

[@karakartal875]

thank you peugeot

[@transporter06csf]

Hats off for a professional unbiased review (y) Unlike other ignorants

[@insidelane]

Thanks!

[@leem5894]

When is this thing coming out?? I'm looking update my Bmw 2 GT for bit more space and tech. want to compare this to the Skodiaq, 5008 obviously wins on tech but the Kodiaq on space. want to compare both first.

[@joshbacon8241]

How come you can't get it with four wheel drive? Just wondering :-)

[@JAMESFERNANDEZ]

Lisbon, Portugal!

[@fredy1115]

Every single review is made in Portugal

[@DavidDeblaere]

I went to the dealership last week. delivery is octobre as soonest. GT even later.

[@insidelane]

On sale July, but obviously with strong demand there will be a waiting list.

[@haihohh7394]

Inside Lane the waiting list is massive

[@kristianolafsrud7240]

Thanks for a great review. How is access to and space in 3rd row seats compared to Peugeot 5008 MPV and Citroen C4 Grand Picasso.

[@insidelane]

Access to the third row is ok. Large door helps, but I'd say Picasso is better for access.

[@kristianolafsrud7240]

Thanks. What about space? Is it similar to the Picasso? Legroom and height?

[@insidelane]

I'd say the middle row is about the same as Picasso, rear seat maybe a bit less. Height is fine in both areas thanks to the square shape of the rear.

[@tomheard7844]

Nice 👌👌

[@menifo4334]

Car looks cool and I'm seriously considering buying it when it's out. However, I've found the review extremely boring. If it weren't for this car I wold have skipped to the next video half way through. It has also left me with a vague picture of its actual practicality as the human factor who could demonstrate the practical aspects of this car was absent. What's the point of a video review if it won't give me anything more than a written review? Furthemore, in all reviews on 3008 and 5008 the reviewers praise the internal quality of the cabin but it seems that everybody has missed that the rear quality doesn't match the front.(?)

[@aks8291]

good review. thanks for posting. I will put this on my shortlist. How does it compare to the skoda kodiaq?? Glad Ive found you, Ive subscribed

[@insidelane]

Thanks for the sub! We should be driving a Kodiaq soon.

[@LucWijdeveld]

Of course it's just an MPV, but it seems obviously a frivolier, where everyone used to be MPV as boring "buses". The baby boomers are more critical than the Calvinists generation before, and the appreciation to crossovers was also noted directly by the marketers by adding a hype to the 'Suv-Look' vs. Fake designs. Eyes like an SUV, but it's not like, like racing stripes on a Panda, is not yet a hothatch, but it looks like, some brands are suggesting double outlets and fake, or by using a radio exhaust noise. It seems apparent and scores well in the sales figures. Back to this 5008 Which has retained its previous model lines and features recognizable, there's some copy and past work on design has been added, eventually this MPV bus, MPV stays, whatever it may be by the SUV -looked peaks that look cooler, they will never see and make unpainted soil. Is it black seeing by me, no! I appreciate more tougher cars, but shoemaker stays with you, and I mean: car journalists keep critical of the marketing crisp bumps that car manufacturers want to give a tag to their models, shining about something that it is not, but seems. Look through there.

[@seven203]

Could Peugeot-Citroen return to make a partnership with BMW again ?

[@Probot4]

They still do, the 165bhp engine is a BMW engine.

[@seven203]

What about car platforms ?

[@Probot4]

Caio Caldas Think it's PSA alone, and since Opel have been using the same platforms I think the PSA group buying Opel might be a good idea.

[@seven203]

I don't know, i think could make rear-wheel-drive cars with BMW.

[@rui518]

you would you really want a RWD cars? they are impractical whit massive transmission tunnels in rear seats, more dangerous in wet conditions and whit more mechanical things that can go wrong. even Mercedes is having more and more FWD cars and BMW more and more xDrive cars... RWD is only good for fun factor nothing else...

[@ArnthorJon]

available as 4wd?

[@insidelane]

Like 3008 SUV, the 5008 is front wheel drive only, but can be had with grip control and advanced hill decent.

[@stephen10.]

there will be a plug-in hybrid 4X4 in 2019

[@martinlang9615]

Peugeot has done it again, really nice...but I will stick with my old 2008 Audi Q7 V8 4.2 TDi which now does 7.5 litres per hundred sitting with cruise control on 90 klm per hour, thanks to remapping and rear muffler being replaced with 2 hot dogs. Not bad for a V8. Way Better than our 2007 Toyota Prado 4 cyl diesel auto 4x4 with mandrel bent sport exhaust system.

[@ancgeo1]

Martin Lang Thanks for letting us know that u got 2 cars 😂😂😂😂

[@martinlang9615]

3500kg Towing?

[@martinlang9615]

george jose No problem, one for me, one for my Wife...Wish I could afford the SQ7 or the older V12 monster engine....that will tow my van no problem! What do you drive?

[@ancgeo1]

Martin Lang markx and jags

[@martinlang9615]

george jose Ok, whats a Markx

[@jeremycubs8331]

Thank you Peugeot for producing these beautiful models that a regular families can afford to own. Who needs those severely overpriced German bland and boring models??!!!

[@g00dfeeling]

Just beautiful. So much better than stupid Fords, VWs, KIAs...

[@AngusMcIntyre]

Who is it who keeps going, "yeh chaps, lets stick an 'i' infront of it and go home". Its so stale now.

[@SASOSMOLE]

stupid junk ...you call it suv and has no 4wd .. for this kind of money you can get tough off road car...what is this anyway...

[@insidelane]

+Sašo Saigon Do you know what SUV stands for? It doesn't mean 4x4. Most people don't need all wheel drive.

[@1990pommie]

there crap . best you get toyota.

[@insidelane]

Have you driven a 5008 SUV?
