The engine is in-line with the latest Euro 4 standards and has undergone stringent and successful hot weather testing before its release in the region. Not only is it strong and reliable, but similarly to the 2008 and 3008, it promises an unrivaled fuel economy averaging 15.1 kilometers/liter.

Entirely customizable with six different display modes, the i-Cockpit® heads-up display unit is positioned above the steering wheel and presents driving information within the eye line of the driver.

Extended experience
To ensure a connected travel experience, information is integrated into the central screen thanks to Screen Mirroring compatibility, including a MirrorLink™ connection, Apple CarPlay™, and Android Auto™. The 5008 SUV also features three identical, separate, and entirely adjustable seats. The third row of two fold-away, retractable seats available as an option provides more space where needed. The large loading volume of the 5008 SUV’s boot is entirely customizable based on your driving needs. With a shallow loading sill, a boot capacity of up to 780 liters, and passenger seating that folds down to form a tabletop so that items of up to 3.2m in length can be loaded
Top of the line design
The 5008’s design shows a dominant yet elegant presence, intertwined with the cozy luxurious interior. It features a panoramic sunroof and different color trims, including the optional, beautifully crafted black Nappa leather and Alcantara or Red Nappa leather upholstery. The interior design of the 5008 is bold, with style based on PEUGEOT’s new design language. As expressive as always, the signature 3D LED claws are once again a feature in the 5008. Be it day and night, you’ll find it on the rear end on all versions and in the projectors of high-end versions. The 5008 is a prime example of what happens when a company knuckles down and ushers in a new design and functionality era.
For 2021, the 5008 will be available for customers in the GCC in March. For more information, customers can visit https://me.peugeot.com/car/peugeot-5008-suv/
