Its name hasn’t changed, but\u00a0everything<\/em>\u00a0<\/em>else has. The new Peugeot 5008 breaks new ground as a large seven-seater SUV in the C segment.<\/p>\n<\/div>

The all-new 5008 is a real SUV, all the hallmarks are there:\u00a0long, horizontal bonnet; vertical face; and raised body line. The inspired design conveys power and respect,\u00a0each line and curve perfectly positioned to project balance and uniformity. The contours are both harmonious and elegant for a vehicle of its size.<\/p>\n

The protective elements that enhance it include alloy wheels ranging from 17\u201d up to 19\u201d on the GT, and profiled standard-fit aluminium longitudinal roof bars which all add a subtle blend of character and sophistication to the vehicle contours. Everything comes together to make the design extremely modern, even futuristic, without falling into the traps of being too fussy, or ostentatious in style.<\/p>\n<\/div>

The stretched profile also highlights the volume of the passenger compartment. From the outside, the doors, wheelbase, and\u00a0large panoramic opening glass sunroof\u00a0\u2013 standard on GT versions, which bathes the interior in light, and gives occupants a pleasant feeling of just how spacious and accommodating the vehicle is on the inside.<\/p>\n

The exclusive wide grille with chrome fins, at the centre of which stands the Brand\u2019s Lion, carries the power and fluidity of the vehicle up front. The finesse of the vehicle\u2019s halogen headlamps gives it a piercing feline gaze that becomes sharper with optional fullbeam LED headlamps. When the latter are specified, the all-new 5008 SUV features a chrome chequered grille and distinctive front\u00a0bumper.<\/p>\n<\/div>

The rear design expresses strength and security. It features flattering curves and\u00a0the gloss black strip along the bottom of the rear window that sets the latest breed of Peugeot Suvs apart. The brand logo and brand name are on the centre of the strip, which connects the\u00a0signature LED claw effect<\/em> rear lights, a marks that clearly identify it as a Peugeot vehicle – by day and by night. The rear profile – including an extra-wide tailgate and low boot sill \u2013 that also hints at just how spacious the boot is.<\/p>\n

The new 5008 will be unveiled at the Paris Motor Show in September, before its launch in spring 2017. Design story in the next issue of Auto&Design no. 220, coming out soon.<\/p>\n<\/div>
