Peugeot Reviews

There are a few surprises in store when you come across the Peugeot 5008. It's a seven-seat SUV and competes with other five-seat SUVs moonlighting as seven-seaters (you only use the back two seats when the need arises), like the Honda CR-V and Volkswagen's Tiguan Allspace. So how much space is there and what's it like to drive?

Peugeot's latest SUVs, the 3008 and 5008, are very, very good, but being a European company that means you can bet its station wagons will be even better to drive.

The Peugeot 208 GTi continues the tradition of great French hot hatches and this one may become special for another reason.

The GT Line is the most expensive petrol model in the 3008 family, sitting below only the diesel powered GT in terms of price.

If you consider purchasing a car to be just like buying more milk from the supermarket then perhaps the Peugeot 308 Allure isn't for you.

The GT-Line is the middle rung on the 5008 ladder, sitting above the Allure and below the GT in the seven-seat SUV line-up.

Peugeot isn't exactly top of mind in the Australian new car market, but the long-established French brand is mounting a product-led campaign to win greater awareness and sales.

The Allure is the entry point to the 5008 family, sitting below the GT-Line and GT in the seven-seat SUV line-up. It'll set you back a non-inconsiderable $42,990, but there's plenty of bang for those bucks.Expect 18-inch alloy wheels, roof rails, auto headlights and wipers, electric (and heated) door mirrors and keyless entry. Inside, you'll find those three rows of 'man-made leather' seats, dual-zone climate and automatic windows. Tech is covered by an 8.0-inch central touchscreen with navigation and DAB, along with wireless charging for your Android phone (iPhones require a special case).Nestled under the hood is a turbocharged 1.6-litre petrol engine good for 121kW at 6000rpm and 240Nm at 1400rpm. It sends its power to the front wheels via a six-speed automatic transmission.

The GT trim sits atop the 5008 range, above the GT-Line and Allure trim levels.

There are plenty of tough, quality players in the mid-size SUV market, but the attractive looks, and a swag of European motoring awards, suggest the Peugeot 3008 GT could challenge them all.
