Peugeot 5008 One-Minute Test

Date: 17 September 2014   |   Author:

Peugeot has facelifted its small people carrier, giving the 5008 the company's new family face, as seen on the 308, as well as interior upgrades, improved specification and revised pricing, which rises by £200-£350 depending on model.

Excellent

Practicality is good, and new standard kit includes satnav and reversing camera on the Allure, and roof rails and front parking sensors on the Active.

Good

The 115hp powertrain is refined and plenty for a small MPV, possibly negating the need to look up the range at the 150hp 2.0-litre diesel that costs an additional £1000 and is 10g/km less efficient.

Average

The driving experience is unremarkable, although that's not a huge criticism in this sector, and the 5008 looks a little bland compared with the new Citroen C4 Picasso.

Poor

The costs argument harms the Peugeot, which is more expensive than a top-spec Ford C-max, but also less efficient and with a worse residual value.

Verdict

A middling car in a segment dominated by practicality, the 5008's biggest problems are below-par emissions and residual values.
