Summary
Part of the latest third-generation 5008 range, the Peugeot 5008 is a large seven-seat electric SUV. The range also includes petrol mild-hybrid and plug-in hybrid versions, which we cover here.
Built on the same foundations as the latest Vauxhall Grandland SUV, Parker’s Curtis Moldrich describes the seven-seater as a “spacious and refreshingly modern”, while Ellis Hyde of Auto Express concludes that the 5008 “simply gives us more of everything we liked about the last one” – “more space and practicality, more kit onboard, more choice when it comes to powertrains.”
Many motoring outlets also praise the large SUV for its exterior looks, with the Car team commenting that the car’s “styling is a breath of fresh air, a clear step up over the previous design.”
That said, “it’s not perfect”, argues Carbuyer, explaining that the hybrid SUV is a bit under-powered when it’s full of passengers and luggage, and that this 750kg towing weight limit is “paltry”. Carwow adds that the car’s touchscreen tech can be “fiddly”, and says Peugeot’s decision to not include a diesel model is disappointing.
As of January 2025, the Peugeot 5008 holds a New Car Expert Rating of B with a score of 69%. This overall score is added by an impressive eco rating.

“The Peugeot 5008 is designed to move people from A to B and do so in a package that’s both spacious and stylish. With that in mind it succeeds wholeheartedly and does so with a level of refinement you’d hope for from Peugeot’s top SUV.”

“The 5008 Hybrid is by far the most affordable, but it’s not perfect – 134bhp isn’t much in a three-row SUV once filled with passengers and luggage, and it has a paltry 750kg towing limit.”

“Expanding families will appreciate the new Peugeot 5008’s excess of seats and boot space, and the tech-heads will love its big-screen cabin, but the lack of a diesel engine is a bit of a shame.”

“The 5008 takes things up a gear compared to the old car: wider, longer and more spacious inside, it’s a more premium product too. Outside it looks more stylish than you’d expect for a car this size, and inside it’s spacious and refreshingly modern.”

The Peugeot 5008 is can be a rather affordable car to own and run, according to whole-life cost numbers provided exclusively to The Car Expert by our data partner, Clear Vehicle Data.
The petrol mild-hybrid’s estimated fuel consumption of 48mpg (between 44 and 52mpg) is nothing to write home about, and while plug-in hybrids return 294mpg (between 212 and 356mpg depending on the model you choose) on paper, this is largely thanks to ridiculous EU/UK government lab tests that are completely inadequate for plug-in hybrids. There is no way you will ever travel for 294 miles on a single gallon (4.5 litres) of fuel and some electricity…
The plug-in hybrid’s predicted electric-only travl distance of 48 miles on a single charge is a bit below the average you can expect from the large SUV class.
While the car’s insurance premiums are in a middling bracket, which is expected for a car of this size, the SUV’s servicing and maintenance costs over the first five years of ownership are on the cheaper side.
