Peugeot’s proposal is scheduled to make its world premiere at the Frankfurt Auto Show in September and go on sale across Europe this autumn. Like most of its competitors, the 4.53-meter long MPV can accommodate seven passengers in three rows of independent seats (2+3+2 layout).
The 5008′s boot capacity, ranges from 758 liters to 823 liters under the parcel shelf with the third row seats folded away. When the vehicle is loaded to the roof and the rear parcel shelf is removed and can further increase to 2,506 liters with the second row seats folded away as well, this capacity increases to 1,247 liters.
The Peugeot 5008‘s dashboard design is almost identical inside to that of the 3008 crossover, which is not surprising as the cars belong to the 308 family sharing the same underpinnings. Of course the name of the game here is practicality. The 5008 is proud of its French genes with numerous visible and hidden storage areas including one under the under the steering wheel and a ‘ventilated’ unit in the lower part of the center console that can hold (and chill) two half-liter bottles.
The initial petrol lineup will include a naturally aspirated 1.6-liter VTi unit with 120HP and a 1.6-liter turbo with 156HP. The more complete diesel range will consist of a 1.6-liter HDi with 110HP and a 2.0-liter HDi producing 150HP when combined with a 6-speed automatic transmission and 163HP when coupled to a six-speed manual gearbox.
