PEUGEOT ANNOUNCES NEW E-5008

Peugeot have announced the New e-5008 – the only electric SUV to offer seating for seven passengers, a choice of three powertrains and capable of up to 347 miles of range from launch with 410 miles of range when the long-range battery launches next year.

The New e-5008 meets the needs of those looking for a large SUV with an assertive design, welcoming interior and efficient electric performance. The e-5008 is covered for up to 8 years/100,000 miles with the new Allure Care programme – the longest coverage of any European brand – which provides customers with complete peace of mind. Peugeot is continuing to expand its range to meet the needs of all its customers and will offer electric versions of every model in its range from 2025.

The e-5008 is distinguished with a strong SUV build, combined with an aerodynamic silhouette and a refined interior with exceptional space and plenty of onboard comfort. At the front end, the e-5008 features the new Peugeot light signature and the front grille design which blends into the body colour. The sophisticated grille is highlighted by a slim and elegant black band that wraps around the model’s front and incorporates ultra-slim LED headlights on all versions. Continuing the innovative work which started on the 408 and e-3008, the e-5008 features either 19-inch or 20-inch wheels with a geometric design which contribute to the modern styling and aerodynamic performance. It is available in six colours – Obsession Blue, Ingaro Blue, Okenite White, Nera Black, Cumulus Grey and Titane Grey.

Inside the e-5008, the remarkable 21-inch Peugeot Panoramic i-Cockpit will put passengers in an environment that is both high-tech and user-friendly and is a standard feature across the range. The raised head-up display and the large central touchscreen, both features that were fundamental elements of the previous generation i-Cockpit, have been integrated into a single curved panoramic screen with a single 21-inch high-definition panel extending from the right side of the dashboard to the centre console. To the left, above the compact steering wheel, the display shows the driving information, speed, power meter, driving aids and energy flow while to the right, in the dashboard’s centre, the touchscreen is accessible to both the driver and passenger and controls the heating and air conditioning, navigation, media and connectivity systems. The central part of the dashboard features Peugeot i-Toggles – the fully customisable and touch-sensitive panel which can be programmed to provide rapid access to ten of the user’s favourite functions from the infotainment system. All versions come with Peugeot’s i-Connect Advanced infotainment system, offering full connectivity thanks to the wireless mirror screen functionality with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.

Thanks to the new dynamic chassis settings in the Peugeot tradition, the new e-5008 is at ease and efficient on main roads and agile in the city. To make manoeuvring easier, the model is fitted with a standard reversing camera offering the driver two angles – a rearview and bird’s-eye view. The new model can also be fitted with the Peugeot 360-degree Vision system which provides a 360-degree view of the car, which makes it possible to avoid any close obstacles to the vehicle. It features more than 40 driver assistance and safety systems and safety equipment. With the Driver Assist Plus 2.0 system, the e-5008 supports the driver by using all the car’s sensors and information from the connected navigation system. Key features include:

• Adaptive cruise control with Stop & Go function and lane positioning assist
• Semi-automatic lane change
• Advance speed recommendation

With the new wheelbase, the new e-5008 offers generous legroom for passengers in row two with comfortable seats that combine a 60/40 bench sliding seat with 40/20/40 backseats, which provide the optimal combination of comfort and modularity. It can hold up to seven passengers, wit row three offering a rear bench with two independent backrests fitted with adjustable headrests and seats designed for prime comfort, focusing on thickness and softness of the cushions, higher backrests and optimised headroom. The model has a boot volume of 748 litres in a five-seat configuration, 259 litres in a seven-seat configuration and 1,815 litres in a two-seat configuration. In addition to the generous dimensions of the new cabin, passengers can expect a warm and welcoming ambience. The interior decor combines ambient lighting, aluminium detailing and mottled fabric for the first and second rows which provide a sense of refinement and well-being.

The new e-5008 is also fitted with a plethora of Peugeot connected services which can be activated through the MyPEUGEOT app, including ChatGPT. Integrated into Peugeot’s i-Connect Advanced infotainment system, customers simply activate the ‘OK PEUGEOT’ voice assistant and make requests on any subject. Peugeot also offers several trip planning and optimisation solutions with the e-5008, such as:

• EV Trip Planner
• EV Routing
• e-Routes

Meanwhile, the MyPEUGEOT smartphone app allows e-5008 users to stay connected with their car and remotely access several functions including the ability to lock/unlock doors, switch on lights and geolocate the vehicle.
