Peugeot 5008 Review 2023 | Performance & Pricing

There’s plenty of space in the cabin, with handy storage spots scattered around the interior. The boot is not quite as big as some alternatives, though, especially with all three rows in place

The Peugeot 5008 has plenty of space in the front row, the seats offer a range of adjustments, although the small steering wheel can obscure the driver display – you’ll need to get behind the wheel yourself to see if this affects you as it’s very driving position-dependent.

Storage space is generous; you get a large cubby, two cup holders and a shelf ahead of the gear lever for your mobile, all situated along the centre console. The door bins are large and have a carpeted bottom, so your odds and ends won’t be rattling around inside. The glovebox is not quite as generous, though.

Space in the back seats

Both the second and third row of seats are individually contoured, which increases passenger comfort. The flat floor makes it easy to get in and out, and there’s plenty of leg and headroom. It’s worth noting that the optional panoramic sunroof does eat into the headroom a bit.

The second row offers ISOFIX mounting points on all three seats, which is great for larger families. You get some handy door bins for storage, centrally mounted air vents and a pair of USB ports. Folding table trays are offered on all but the base trim. The third row is a bit tighter, but still fine for teenagers and kids on longer trips.

Boot space

If you are planning to use all seven seats, then your passengers better travel light because there is just 167 litres of space behind the third row. That’s less than any of the 5008’s alternatives, which offer between 230 and 270 litres in that configuration. Even a Fiat 500 offers a 185-litre boot.

If you only need to travel five up, the Peugeot 5008 becomes one of the most spacious load luggers around. Fold the third row of seats flat and you get a handy 952 litres of luggage space. More than most seven-seater alternatives can manage. The second row also folds down, although not completely flat. Remove the third row completely and you get 2,150 litres of luggage space, alhtogh you then need somewhere to keep them. If you prefer to fold them below the boot floor instead, the space shrinks slightly to 2,042 litres.

Those figures compare well to the Skoda Kodiaq, which offers 630 litres with five seats up and 2,005 litres with both rear rows folded flat. The VW Tiguan AllSpace and Seat Tarraco both have 700 litres and 1,775 litres of space in those same configurations.

There’s no load lip and the boot sides are flat, making it easy to load bulky items. You also get a handy cubby on the right side of the boot and a few hooks to secure your shopping bags.
