The 5008 has a very smooth ride and performs competently through the bends thanks to sharp steering and a surfeit of grip.
The Pug's 2.0-litre diesel engine is superb, producing 150bhp and 250lb-ft of torque. It offers plenty of low down pulling power - which is useful when you're carrying a heavy load - and 0-62mph takes 10 seconds. You'll also hit 118mph.
The 5008 is a very good motorway mile-muncher and its engine is very smooth and quiet.
The 5008 is one of the best looking cars in it class and manages to look classy and innovative at the same time. It's the sme story in the cabin and the whole things feels superbly put together from very high quality plastics.
In terms of standard equipment, you get alloys, air-con, electric mirrors, electric windows, cruise control, parking sensors, Bluetooth, MP3 connectivity and a CD player. Satellite navigation can be specified for £735, leather seats will cost you £1260 and you can upgrade the air-con to climate control for £290.
Peugeot have a very chequered history when it comes to reliability and this harms the 5008's reliability credentials. However, the 5008's sister car - the Citroen C4 Picasso, has proven to be very reliable so we'll have to wait and see if the 5008 lives up to the Citroen's reputation.
There is a huge amount of interior space in the 5008 with a full 2506-litres of luggage space on offer with the rear seats down and a still impressive 2506-litres on offer with the rear seats up. The 5008 should also be a very safe car, having scored five stars in the Euro NCAP tests.
The 5008 Active HDi 150 FAP is priced at £22,395 which is quite reasonable for a car of this size. It should also be very cheap to run with CO2 emissions of 154g/km putting the car under VED band G and a combined fuel economy figue of 47.9mpg. Insurance should also be very reasonable and Peugeot are renowned for their low servicing bills.
