The second-generation Peugeot 5008 (P87) marks a complete break with its predecessor: it abandons the MPV silhouette to adopt the highly popular SUV codes. Technically, it is an extended version (+19 cm wheelbase) of the best-selling 3008 II, offering up to 7 seats thanks to two retractable seats in the boot. Restyled in late 2020 (new frameless grille, 'fang' daytime running lights), it stands out for its first-class road handling, bold design, and immersive i-Cockpit. Note: unlike the 3008, the 5008 never benefited from plug-in hybrid (PHEV) powertrains, as the battery was incompatible with the presence of the third row of seats. It was not until 2023 that a mild hybrid (MHEV 136 hp) appeared. On the used car market, diesel versions are particularly sought after by high-mileage drivers a
The Peugeot 5008 II is a family SUV packed with dynamic and practical qualities. Its spaciousness and chassis make it one of the best in its category on the road. However, its reliability record is heavily marred by Stellantis' mechanical choices. If you are looking for a diesel, avoid the 1.5 BlueHDi 130 from before 2023 (risk of engine failure due to camshaft chain breakage) and absolutely prioritize the 2.0 BlueHDi (150 or 180 hp). The latter is robust, torquey, and perfectly suited to the vehicle's size. However, keep a contingency budget for the AdBlue system, a chronic issue with all modern diesels from the group. For petrol, the 1.2 PureTech is to be avoided unless the timing belt has just been replaced with the latest generation belt. The recent 1.2 Hybrid 136 (chain-driven) is the best petrol alternative, but remains expensive as it is very new.
