This is the new Peugeot E-5008, a seven-seat crossover that Peugeot says is “the only model in its segment to offer 100% electric mobility for seven passengers with a choice of powertrains.” We think the carmaker might have forgotten about the similarly priced seven-seat Mercedes-Benz EQB and GLB, but we’ll let them slide because it’s excited about its new car.
Unsurprisingly, it’s quite a good-looking thing. Up front, you get Peugeot’s three light claws on either side of the new grille, and there are LED lights as standard with fancy Pixel LEDs on the top-spec GT trim. It’s chunky and slab-sided from the rear, and the wheel designs are typically excellent.All the old 5008’s chrome has gone, too, replaced with Meteor Gray contrast paint higher up and Orbital Black on the lower plastic bits.
A heat pump is optional to improve efficiency, but all E-5008s will rapid-charge at speeds of up to 160kW. Plus, even though it has been designed as an EV first, if you want gasoline power, there will be a 48V mild-hybrid at launch with 134hp. A more powerful plug-in hybrid will then arrive in 2025.Inside, there’s the aforementioned seating for up to seven people, with the front row getting optional AGR-approved seats , and the middle row able to slide and recline.
We’re sure that giant 21-inch ‘Panoramic i-Cockpit’ display won’t have escaped your attention, either. That’s the same as you get in the new E-3008 and includes built-in ChatGPT and Apple CarPlay/Android Auto compatibility. When the model launches in select markets later this year, Peugeot says it will be covered by a new eight-year/100,000 warranty.PHOTO BY PeugeotPHOTO BY PeugeotSee Also Read Next Jetour launches all-new T2 priced at P2.498-M, Dashing PHEV with P1.95-M SRP View other articles about:
