Peugeot is continuing its march toward full electrification with the reveal of its latest EV - the new-generation version of the E-5008 seven-seat SUV.
Following on from the E-3008 five-seat SUV that will land in Australia in the second half of this year, the E-5008 is also confirmed for a local launch.
“Following the recent global reveal, we're delighted to confirm Peugeot Australia's 100 per cent electric range will continue to grow with the Peugeot E-5008 anticipated to join the local range in 2025. Stay tuned for more information, including confirmation of arrival timing,” a spokesperson told CarsGuide.
Where the E-3008 adopts a swoopier coupe-like silhouette, the larger E-5008 has a more traditional SUV shape, albeit adopting Peugeot’s latest design language.
The previous 5008 was based on Peugeot-Citroen’s EMP2 platform, and the new model is built using a variation of it that has changed names to STLA-medium under the giant Stellantis umbrella.

The new model grows in size and is now 1690mm tall (+44mm), 1890mm wide (+46mm), 4790mm long (+149mm) and the wheelbase is now 2900mm (+60mm), making for a roomier interior.
It gains a high beltline, smoother panels and high-tech head and tail-lights - with the familiar claw-like signature. Elsewhere it gains the overall look of the E-3008 and 19- and 20-inch wheels.

Inside, the E-5008 adopts the new version of Peugeot’s i-Cockpit, with a 21-inch ‘floating’ screen that combines a head-up display with a central multimedia screen, although in entry level Allure grades, this is replaced with two 10-inch panels side by side.
Chrome, which has a terrible impact on the environment, is replaced in favour of paint on the body and real aluminium makes its way into the cabin.

In Europe at least, the E-5008 will be offered with three powertrains - as well as the EV there is a 48-volt mild hybrid delivering 101kW and paired with a six-speed dual-clutch transmission, and a plug-in hybrid combining a 92kW electric motor and a 111kW turbo-petrol engine ensuring an electric only drive range of 80km.
Two-wheel-drive versions of the fully electric variants offer up either 157kW or 170kW, while a dual-motor all-wheel drive pumps out 237kW. It is combined with a 400V lithium-ion battery and either an 11 or 22kW onboard charger.

Driving range runs from 500 to 660km on the WLTP cycle, according to Peugeot.
It is unclear which powertrains will be offered in Australia.

The first-generation Peugeot 5008 was a people mover that shared its underpinnings with the Citroen C4 Grand Picasso, but for the second-gen model, it morphed into a seven-seat SUV.
The new-gen model will be produced in France at Peugeot’s as will the battery.
