2021 Peugeot 5008 pricing and specs detailed: Facelift arrives for Nissan X-Trail, Mitsubishi Outlander and Honda CR-V rival

Peugeot Australia has released pricing for the facelifted version of the second-generation 5008 mid-size SUV, with the seven-seater sticking with its two-variant line-up.

Due in showrooms in the coming weeks, the 5008 is now available in a single flagship grade, dubbed GT, which comes with either a petrol or a diesel turbocharged four-cylinder engine.

That said, the mid-size SUV’s starting price is still $51,990 plus on-road costs, with the GT petrol variant now kicking off proceedings with a 121kW/240Nm 1.6-litre engine, which is mated to a six-speed torque-converter automatic transmission.

For reference, the seven-seater’s previous GT Line entry-level grade was not only identically priced, but also had the same engine-transmission combination.

Either way, the Nissan X-Trail, Mitsubishi Outlander and Honda CR-V rival’s GT diesel variant remains powered by a 133kW/400Nm 2.0-litre engine, which is matched to an eight-speed torque-converter automatic transmission. However, it is now $1000 dearer, at $59,990.

As reported, the 5008’s facelift ushers in a redesigned front fascia, which is headlined by new LED headlights with ‘lion’s teeth’, a frameless grille and black side air intakes, while a model-specific monogram is now positioned at the bonnet’s edge.

At the rear, the tail-lights now exclusively have LED bulbs and feature a three-dimensional ‘tiger’s claw’ signature, sequential indicators and smoked lenses.

Inside, Peugeot’s upgraded i-Cockpit is found, with it now pairing a 10.0-inch touchscreen multimedia system (up from 8.0 inches) with an unchanged 12.3-inch digital instrumental cluster.
