Peugeot 5008 - What Car Best MPV 2010

AVAILABLE TO TEST DRIVE NOW!!!

With a versatile interior, our new MPV gives you plenty of space - with the third row of seats stowed, boot space ranges from 758 litres to 823 litres, depending where the sliding rear seats are. If you’re transporting boxes instead of people, fold away the middle seats and, hey presto, there’s an impressive 2506 litres.

In family friendly mode, the 5008 sports a mind-boggling array of storage solutions: there’s a storage area under the steering wheel, a cooled centre console for drinks and several underfloor storage areas...

The three second-row seats are identical and can be reclined, moved forwards and backwards. Each can also be folded individually into the floor to form a flat surface flush with the rear loading sill.

There are six engines to choose from: two petrols and four diesels. The two petrol engines are both 1.6 units, offering either 120bhp (with a five-speed manual) or 156bhp (with a six-speed manual). Both claim to achieve 38.6mpg and 39.7mpg, respectively. On the diesel side of things, there are two 110bhp powerplants (one a manual, the other robotised manual). There’s a manual offering 150bhp, and an auto supplying 163bhp. Economy ranges from 41.5mpg, for the most powerful engine, to 54.3mpg for the 110bhp unit. Keeping the 5008 on the straight and narrow is a pseudo McPherson front suspension and torsion beam rear. It’s based on the PSA PF2 platform – the architecture which underpins the Citroen C4 Picasso.

Now, what about some tech?

Unusually for an MPV, there’s a head-up display. A translucent panel appears out of the dashboard and displays the important information - speed, cruise control/speed limiter and Distance Alert. Distance Alert uses a radar hidden behind the lower front bumper panel to measure the distance between the 5008 and the car in front. The system warns the driver if they are driving too close to the vehicle in front, with the system giving the choice of maintaining a distance between 0.9 to 2.5 seconds. The final notable tech on this car is the Snow Motion. This adds another function to the traditional traction control. Peugeot claims the system allows the driver to make effective progress on icy or snow-covered roads. It’s activated automatically and is more efficient with snow tyres.
