Peugeot E-5008 Review & Prices

There are very few seven-seater electric SUVs on sale at the moment, and the majority of them are really rather pricey. Like a pair of Zara jeans, the Peugeot E-5008 looks just as stylish as its more expensive alternatives, but for a fraction of the price.

Considering that the E-5008 is over £10,000 less than the Kia EV9, it looks like pretty good value, and it’s around £35,000 less than the Volvo EX90; yet the Peugeot might just be the more stylish car.

Much like its smaller E-3008 counterpart, the E-5008 is one of the most striking cars on sale - period. It's a kaleidoscope of crisp lines and sharp corners, with an enormous grille and the signature lion claw headlight design. It may not have the swoopy roofline and compact rear end of the E-3008, but the E-5008 has just as much road presence - and a lot more practicality.

The interior carries the angular theme into the car, with a fabric-trimmed wraparound dashboard, slick 21-inch widescreen infotainment-and-instrument display and a funky two-spoke steering wheel beneath it.

The infotainment display isn’t just good to look at, but it’s fairly easy to use too. A secondary display underneath the air vents has customisable touchscreen buttons, while there’s another row of haptic controls beneath it.

It’s just a shame that all of the shortcuts direct you back to the main screen, because while you can use Peugeot’s own infotainment at the same time as the climate controls, you have to totally exit Apple CarPlay or Android Auto to change the temperature. Frustrating.

What isn’t frustrating is just how practical the E-5008 is, with lots of storage around the cabin and plenty of space across the front two rows. Tall adults won’t struggle for headroom or legroom behind a tall driver, for example, and up front there are two cubbies in the centre console as well as a wireless charging pad for your phone.

Unfortunately the third-row of seats isn’t all that spacious, and it’s best reserved for children or short journeys. You’ll fit six adults under six-foot across all three rows, but it’ll feel a little claustrophobic in the back after a while. While it’s not an EV, the Volkswagen Tayron has more space inside.

As a seven-seater, you still get some cargo space - about the same size as a small hatchback - which will easily take some shopping or a few backpacks. With the third row of seats stowed away there’s an enormous 915-litre boot; long trips away will be no bother with that much space for luggage in the back.

Long trips away are a real option in the E-5008 too, because you have a claimed 310 miles of range in the single and dual-motor small battery models. That shoots up to a very impressive 403 miles in the bigger battery, long-range car, and the E-5008 is an excellent choice to take on a long road trip; it’s exceptionally quiet and comfortable on the move.

Around town it’s easy to manoeuvre for its size, and its suspension does a superb job of absorbing bumps and blows, but it’s on the motorway where it impresses most with minimal wind and road noise and a pillowy-soft ride at speed. Country lanes aren’t fun though, even in the dual-motor model with its firmer suspension, and while the E-5008 feels capable it’s best driven along at a steady pace.

As a practical, comfortable and stylish family car it makes for a strong contender, and we’ve got some great new Peugeot E-5008 deals here on Carwow. We’ve also got Peugeot E-5008 lease deals, and there are used Peugeot E-5008s available through our network of trusted dealers. For something a little smaller, check out other used Peugeots on sale, and when it’s time to switch, Carwow can even help you sell your car.

The E-5008 is very affordable when compared to its large SUV alternatives from Kia and Volvo, but it's far more expensive than its petrol and hybrid alternatives such as the Volkswagen Tayron (around £40,000) and Skoda Kodiaq (around £38,000)

You’ve got two trim options to choose from, starting with Allure and moving up to GT. Allure cars are rather well equipped as standard, with the super-widescreen 21-inch display, wireless phone charging, three-zone climate control, 19-inch diamond cut alloy wheels and keyless entry.

GT cars feature gloss black exterior trim and a gloss black roof, adaptive cruise control, intricate LED headlights, heated seats and steering wheel and sunblinds for the rear side windows too.

The E-5008 makes for a good cruiser, but its spongy brakes let it down no matter the road

In town

For a big car, the Peugeot E-5008 is really easy to drive around town. Your view out of the back isn’t amazing, but you get good visibility out of the front and the excellent panoramic camera view means tight turns are no issue. The steering is light, and Peugeot’s small steering wheel means that the E-5008 feels agile around tight bends.

There are a couple of downsides, with the first being the brakes. They take some getting used to because of an odd dead spot at the top of the pedal’s travel. There’s also no one-pedal mode, so you regularly have to use the brakes to come to a stop, rather than simply letting the regenerative braking take control.

On the motorway

Long motorway trips are a breeze in the Peugeot E-5008, because the suspension soaks up bumps nicely to make for a comfortable ride, and there’s very little in the way of wind and road noise either.

However, it’s not the most efficient EV, so you’ll probably be stopping more often than you’d like on a long trip. We saw 3.0 miles per kWh in the single-motor car, which would equate to about 220 miles between charges. It’s not particularly punchy for an EV either, so you have to put your foot down on a slip road to get up to speed.

Allure models only get basic cruise control, so you’ll have to step up to GT models (or pay for an option pack) if you want the adaptive system that can maintain your distance to the car in front.

On a twisty road

Big, comfy SUVs are usually great on the motorway but a bit rubbish on a winding country road, but the Peugeot E-5008 actually performs admirably in the twisties. The squishy suspension means it can wallow around a bit over larger humps in the road, but this means it’s not too unsettled by poor surfaces while you’re in the middle of a turn. It’s a generally satisfying thing to drive around corners.

High-performance dual motor cars are notably quicker thanks to the extra motor on the rear axle, and while they feature stiffer suspension than on the standard cars the odd brakes are a let down when you’re trying to get a hustle on.

Boot space is really good, but the third row seats are a bit tight and there’s no front boot

You get the classic quirky Peugeot driving position in the E-5008. There’s a small steering wheel that could take some getting used to but does make the car feel quite sporty, and the driving position is comfortable, but it’s worth checking that your view of the dials isn’t blocked by the wheel. Unlike most cars it’s designed for you to look over the top of the wheel instead of through it, so you might find that your ideal seat position means you can’t see your speed, range or other important information.

Storage is pretty good in the front, with large, felt-lined door bins to stop things rattling around and a useful space beneath the armrest. The cupholders can take a big bottle, but the glovebox is tiny.

There’s a wireless smartphone charging pad tucked beneath the dashboard, which is standard on all models, but you also have two USB-C slots if you want a wired connection.

Space in the back seats

The second row seats are nice and roomy, with plenty of legroom in their standard configuration, though you can move them back and forth to make more space for the third row or open extra boot space. It’s a bit tight for three though, particularly when it comes to headroom for those on the outer seats.

Unlike many EVs, the floor isn’t too high, so you get good under-thigh support from the seats, and you can fit your feet under the seats in front. Coupled with the fact these seats also recline, it’s easy to get comfortable.

Practicality is okay, with decent door bins, cup holders in the centre armrest and shallow nets to hold smaller items.

It’s not quite the same story in the third row. Access is pretty easy and headroom is good, but legroom is really limited and the seat cushion is quite close to the floor, so it’s difficult to really relax. There’s not much in the way of creature comforts either, save for a cup holder on each side.

You get ISOFIX mounting points in the outer second row seats, but considering this is a big family car it’s a shame there aren’t any in the front passenger seat, nor in the third row like you get in a Kia EV9.

Boot space

With all seven seats in place, you get a boot capacity of 348 litres. That’s about the same as a Volkswagen Golf, which sounds good, but because a large chunk of that capacity includes the under-floor storage, unless you utilise this space the reality doesn’t feel quite as useful as the figures suggest. That said, it’s about on par with alternatives with all seven seats in place; the Kia EV9 gets 333 litres, the Tesla Model Y has 363 litres and Volkswagen ID Buzz has 306 litres.

Fold the third row and the Peugeot E-5008 comes into its own, with a 916-litre boot space. That’s nearly double the Mercedes EQB’s 495 litres, and still comfortably beats the Kia EV9 (828 litres) and Tesla Model Y (753 litres). The Peugeot is only beaten by the ID Buzz, which has 1,121 litres thanks to its boxy van-like shape.

It’s a bit of a shame that you don’t get a front boot in the E-5008. The Tesla Model Y is the best in this regard, with 117 litres under the bonnet.

Cool design and quality materials are let down a bit by a laggy infotainment system

First impressions of the Peugeot E-5008’s interior are excellent. You get a sort of retro lounge-inspired design, mixed with ultra-modern touches such as the large screens dominating your view ahead.

Materials feel pretty good with fabric across the dashboard and lovely Alcantara-trimmed seats on the GT version. There are some cheaper plastics lower down but nothing that should put you off at the price, and everything feels solid. For example, the indicator stalks are nicely damped and have a proper premium feel, which sounds like a small thing but is a nice touch considering you use them all the time.

The super-futuristic dashboard looks good at first glance, with a massive 21.0-inch ultra-wide screen sat beneath a sweeping pane of glass that’s split between the infotainment touchscreen and the instrument dials. It looks good, but the infotainment software isn’t quite as snappy as it should be, and the menus can be quite confusing to find your way around.

One neat touch is another screen beneath the main display with touch-sensitive configurable buttons for shortcuts. It’s a neat solution that could be quite useful if you take the time to set it up properly.

Single-motor E-5008s have 210hp and a 73kWh battery that returns 310 miles of range in official tests, though it’s not the most efficient system so you can expect 200-250 miles in the real world, depending on the weather and your driving style.

Long-range cars have a much larger 93kWh battery and a smidge more power to make up for the weight, as well as an impressive 410-mile official range, but otherwise feel identical to the base-level car. Dual-motor cars are notably quicker thanks to an extra 110hp on the front-wheel drive models, but it will only go so far as 289 claimed miles.

Speaking of which, charging speeds are okay but not the best – you get a maximum charge rate of 160kW, which provides a 20-80% top up of 30 minutes. The EV9 has a peak of 210kW and can do the 10-80% charge in 24 minutes, while the Tesla Model Y takes 27 minutes with a peak of 250kW.

As with all electric cars, you get the lowest possible benefit in kind tax rate, and the typical £10 first year and standardised rate for new electric cars from year two onwards. It’s a shame the E-5008 falls over the luxury car tax threshold as it costs over £40,000, so you’ll be paying a hefty sum between years two and six.

The Peugeot 5008 earned four out of five stars in Euro NCAP testing in 2025, which is a bit disappointing for a family car. It scored over 80% in its occupant tests, but its poor 63% safety assistance score is what let it down; surprising given its standard kit.

Standard safety tech includes driver attention alert, lane keeping assistance, and an advanced emergency braking system that uses radar to detect pedestrians and cyclists at night. Upgrading to the GT model adds adaptive cruise control, while both models can add a long range blind spot monitor and rear cross traffic alert as part of an option pack.

As a new model there’s not been enough time to work out how reliable the Peugeot E-5008 will be. However, Peugeot placed an impressive sixth out of 32 car manufacturers in the 2024 Driver Power ownership survey, which should be reassuring.

The E-5008 gets Peugeot’s standard warranty, which is three years of cover with unlimited mileage. Electric models also get an eight-year/100,000-mile warranty specifically for the main battery, which guarantees it will retain at least 70% of its capacity in this time.

Hyundai offers a more competitive five-year warranty, Kia offers seven, and both Toyota and Lexus cars can be had with up to 10 years of warranty with regular annual servicing at a main dealership though.
