Peugeot 5008

(2017 - present)

    Summary


    The Peugeot 5008 is a seven-seat SUV/crossover based on the smaller 3008 model. It arrived in the UK in 2017 and, like the 3008, replaced a people carrier model with the same name.

    A lot of the praise that the award-winning Peugeot 3008 has received also applies to the larger 5008. Comfort and driving dynamics have both been identified as strengths, while Peugeot’s unique i-Cockpit concept very much splits opinion. The main criticisms relate to the 5008’s lack of off-roading ability for a car that looks like an SUV but isn’t really.

    An updated 5008 arrived in the UK in early 2021. It’s a facelifted version of the 2017 model, rather than an all-new car.

    As of September 2023, the Peugeot 5008 has an Expert Rating of 71%, based on 23 reviews from the UK motoring media.

    An all-new 5008 model range is due to launch in 2024. This will initially be in the form of an all-electric e-5008 model, but plug-in hybrid models are also expected.

    Reliability rating

    Reliability data provided exclusively for The Car Expert by MotorEasy

    All data based on MotorEasy average workshop costs for extended car warranty claims

    As of June 2023, the Peugeot 5008 has a reliability score of 57% which is above average, according to exclusive extended warranty data provided by our partners at MotorEasy. This score covers both the current-generation 5008 and the original (pre-2017) version.

    The most commonly reported problems with the 5008 relate to its braking system, although the average repair bill is less than £200. The overall average repair bill of £320 is very competitive, which is good news for current and potential owners.

    If you’re looking at a used Peugeot 5008, make sure any extended warranty cover you purchase covers all of these potential problem areas.

    The Peugeot 5008 should be a very affordable car to own and run, according to whole-life cost data provided exclusively to The Car Expert by our technical partner, Clear Vehicle Data.

    We don’t have independently verified fuel consumption data for the petrol and diesel models, but the CO2 levels (which are linked closely to fuel consumption) are very good, so fuel economy should be decent as well.

    Insurance costs are excellent, as are servicing and maintenance costs over the first five years.
