Peugeot 5008 - The Innovative people carrier

Previous models carrying the "5" series label have included the legendary Peugeot 504 and the great family favorite the Peugeot 505 Family estate. In its day the Peugeot 505 Family estate was the bench mark seven-seat family car and it is this position Peugeot aims to repeat with the introduction of the new Peugeot 5008.

The 5008, with a length of 4.53m and a height of 1.64m, will accommodate like its predecessor, seven occupants and their luggage. Flexibility is also a key strength of the 5008 with an innovative "flat-folding" rear seat arrangement which enables all the rear passenger seats to be folded away into the floor maximizing the load area. The 'cinema' positioning of the second row outer seats also allows easy access to the occupants of the third row seats. In one easy movement, the seat cushion lifts and the seat back moves forward, freeing up the maximum space for those wishing to get into the car.

To make long journeys more enjoyable, the 5008 offers second row passengers a multimedia system which is perfectly integrated into the passenger compartment. It consists of two 7" colour screens located in the back of the front seat head restraints; a connection console enables the connection of different types of mobile audio/video equipment and two Bluetooth wireless headsets.

Under the hood, the 5008 will be available with a range of petrol and diesel engines starting with a 1.6 litre 120 PS gasoline unit to the top of the line 2.0 litre 163 PS oilburner. The 5008 comes with a range of driver assist features like the Head-Up display, Distance alert, Snow Motion and an electric parking brake with hill assist function among other things.
