Every E-5008 will be fitted with a reversing camera, and rear parking sensors. Lane keep assist, driver attention alert, and an advanced emergency braking that’ll help avoid or mitigate low-speed collisions with pedestrians and other vehicles are among the standard safety equipment list.
Peugeot provides a three-year/60,000-mile manufacturer’s warranty as standard, which is competitive with Volkswagen, but a long way off the five or seven years of coverage provided by brands like Hyundai and Kia. Drivers have the opportunity to extend the cover for the battery and electric drive system (the electric motor, charging system, etc) by two years or 16,000 miles at a time, up to a maximum of eight years/100,000 miles (whichever comes first), simply by getting their car serviced at an approved aftersales location.

Should you buy a Peugeot E-5008?
The Peugeot E-5008 will be an ideal choice for anyone with a keen sense of style who needs a large SUV that can seat seven people or just offers a huge amount of space. This is a genuine seven-seater that offers a comfortable, refined driving experience, with a stunning and spacious interior. Yet it will cost similar money to other electric family cars like the Skoda Enyaq, Ford Explorer, and Hyundai Ioniq 5.
The E-5008 also boasts big range figures, with even the entry-level version capable of 311 miles on a charge, and it impressed us with its efficiency during our own testing. If that still isn’t enough, a version will arrive in 2025 that’ll do 410 miles in one go – significantly further than any present EV with seven seats.
Admittedly, the E-5008’s projected starting price of around £48,000 will put it out of reach for some families. If that’s the case, there are mild-hybrid and plug-in hybrid versions of the 5008 also on the way, which will cost considerably less. Or if you just want a solid, practical family SUV, the Skoda Kodiaq starts from around £37,000.
Frequently Asked Questions
When we drove the Peugeot E-5008 in mixed driving conditions across Sweden, we managed to average 3.6 miles per kWh in our entry-level, front-wheel drive test car. Spend more time in town with the regenerative braking in its strongest setting, and the efficiency will increase further.
