Peugeot e-5008 starts at 51,150 euros gross
The e-5008 starts at 51,150 euros in the Allure trim. That's 42,983.19 euros net. The higher GT trim is also available for order immediately, but Peugeot has not yet announced a price for it in its statement. In addition to the purely electric versions of the seven-seater, the manufacturer is also launching a version with 48-volt hybrid technology from 42,250 euros, which is 35,504.20 euros.
A lot of space in the second row, ample room in the third row
The 4.79-meter-long 5008 uses the maximum wheelbase of 2.9 meters from the STLA Medium, making it significantly longer than the new Opel Grandland, which will be positioned between the 3008 and 5008 in the future. The 5008 will also come again as a seven-seater. In the third row, there are not only foldable emergency seats but also, according to Peugeot, a genuine bench with two independent backrests and adjustable headrests. According to the press release, the e-5008 is set to "set new standards in living comfort in the C-SUV segment in the third row" and offer passengers in that row "remarkable legroom."
259 to 1,815 liters of trunk volume
If all seven seats are used, the trunk volume drops to 259 liters, with the loading area being just 42 centimeters deep. As a five-seater, the trunk can accommodate 748 liters, and with the backrests folded down (so as a two-seater), it can hold up to 1,815 liters. The backrests in the third row can be folded down in a 50/50 ratio, and in the second row, they can be folded in a 40/20/40 ratio. Additionally, there is an approximately 80-liter storage compartment under the seats in the third row.
The all-electric e-5008 is supposed to offer up to 660 kilometers of range according to WLTP, but realistically, it should always be 500 kilometers. We are assuming this is based on a 98-kWh battery. The batteries come from France from the battery cell joint venture Automotive Cells Company (ACC) by Stellantis, Total, and Mercedes-Benz. They are assembled in the factory in Douvrin, which opened in 2023. For the 660-kilometer version, the same drive combination as in the e-3008 with a 170 kW front motor is used. Additionally, the e-5008 will also be available with a 157 kW front-wheel drive (and presumably the cheaper 73-kWh battery).
As a top model, an electric all-wheel drive is offered, providing a system output of 237 kW – 157 kW at the front axle and 80 kW at the rear axle. The front motor delivers a torque of 345 Nm, the rear motor 170 Nm. Peugeot has not yet communicated exact ranges for the individual variants. Only "500 to 660 kilometers" are indicated, so realistically more like 400 to 500 – which is still sufficient.
What does that mean?
The new e-5008, unfortunately, is not quite cheap and will cost customers almost 10,000 euros more than the hybrid. A smaller difference would have been helpful here, especially since a Tesla Model Y is significantly cheaper, but does not offer more space. In its design, the e-5008 is definitely "unique".
