The Peugeot 5008 has a facelift, following in the footsteps of the smaller 3008

The Peugeot 3008 and 5008 of the last generation are very related models, after the B-pillar essentially identical SUVs. This continues, when the 5008 received a more pronounced bow with a mask without clear edges.

LED headlights are also newly shaped. New flashlights can be seen on the stern. The lion claw motif continues, but the graphics are slightly altered. Alloy wheels with a size of up to 19 inches also have a different design.

Inside you will find new materials and color combinations, but the main novelty is the ten-inch infotainment touch screen. There is a 12.3-inch display in front of the driver. Assistance systems were innovated, including adaptive cruise control with the function of autonomous steering in columns and a new night vision.

There were no changes within the power units. The offer still includes two petrol supercharged engines with a displacement of 1.2 and 1.6 liters, as well as a fifteen-liter diesel engine with a two-liter. All this in pairs with a six-speed manual or eight-speed automatic transmission.

Production will continue at the French plants in Rennes and Sochaux. The novelty will reach European markets at the end of this year.
