Peugeot 5008 2009–2016 car dimensions: 4530 mm long, 1835 mm wide and 1640 mm high. Unladen weight is 1,500 kg. Braked towing is 1,500 kg.
The cabin offers air conditioning as standard across grades, with dual-zone climate control on higher trims like Allure. Cruise control with speed limiter and front/rear parking sensors arrive on Active and above. A colour head-up display and reversing camera feature on Allure. Navigation uses a 7-inch colour screen controlled by dials and buttons rather than touch. Basic models have Bluetooth and USB later in the run. The layout feels roomy with independent seats and good visibility, though storage pockets are limited and third-row space suits children best.
Boot space starts at 679 litres with the third row folded for five-seat use and reaches 1247 litres loaded to the roof. Folding the second and third rows creates a flat 2506-litre load bay. Seats slide and fold independently for flexible family or shopping runs.
Braked towing capacity reaches up to 1500 kg depending on engine and seat count, with unbraked at 750 kg and nose weight around 70 kg. Payload sits near 640 kg on lighter five-seat diesels and climbs toward 820 kg on seven-seat versions. Gross train weights run from about 2950 kg upward.
The multiflex seating and flat load floor suit light work or family hauling without special suspension or cooling packs. High ambient temperatures may require reduced trailer loads to protect the engine.
The cabin feels light and open thanks to a large windscreen and optional panoramic glass roof that floods the interior. High seating position gives a clear view of the road while the steering angle feels like a regular car. Second-row seats slide and recline independently for flexible space. Soft materials and a ventilated front console keep the feel practical and calm for family trips.
Diesel models return around 5.3-5.4 l/100 km combined on 1.6 HDi versions.
Service interval typically every 20,000 km or 12 months.
Euro NCAP 5 stars (2009): adult 89%, child 79%, pedestrian 37%, assist 97%.
Standard safety includes ESP, six airbags, electric parking brake with hill assist, full seat-belt reminders and tyre pressure detection.
Fuel use stays reasonable for a seven-seat MPV. The 1.6 HDi diesels are the most efficient choice with official combined figures near 5.3-5.4 l/100 km. Petrol 1.6 units sit higher at around 7.1-7.3 l/100 km. Real-world figures depend on load and driving style but the diesels remain the economical daily option.
Servicing follows a straightforward schedule of every 20,000 km or once a year, whichever comes first. Brake fluid changes every two years. Timing belt intervals vary by engine but are typically long on the diesels. Keep records up to date for resale value.
Safety equipment is comprehensive for the class. ESP is standard across the range along with six airbags, an automatic electric parking brake with hill-start assist, seat-belt warnings on every seat and tyre under-inflation detection. ISOFIX points sit on all three second-row seats. The 2009 Euro NCAP test awarded a full five stars.
Living with the 5008 centres on its modular seating. Second-row seats slide, recline and fold flat individually. Third-row seats drop into the floor for a flat load bay. The car is simple to keep tidy and practical for family use when the service book is followed.
