The 2019 Peugeot 5008 is a standard crossover with seven seats at core, but it is sprinkled with distinctive touches, cleverly performed thoughts, and French quirks that make it feel distinct from its rivals. First, the fundamentals. The power in the 5008 comes from a conventional four-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine with 121kW and 240Nm, which is automatically placed on the front wheels via a six-speed torque converter.
That’s not a huge amount of grunt carrying a 4641 mm long, 1646 mm high, 1844 mm wide seven-seater crossover, but the engine (internally known as THP, engine code geeks) doesn’t feel underpowered in everyday driving. It’s silently and smoothly running its company, and while it’s not setting your pulse racing, it’s got enough pep to get the children to college on time.
With six full-size adults on board, it will be happy to sit at 100 km/h. Occasionally, Hills force it back to fifth gear, and overtaking requires a heavy throttle punch, but we were pleasantly amazed by how fully loaded the Pug performs. Peugeot says the 5008 will hit 100 km/h in 10.5 seconds, which in the actual globe feels fairly precise.
