The Peugeot 5008 is the first compact van produced under the Peugeot brand. It was first introduced in September 2008 at the Paris Motor Show. Built on a stretched platform with a Peugeot 3008 and Citroën C4 Picasso.
The model will be a natural extension of the Peugeot 308 SW and Peugeot 3008 family cars. The car, 4.53 m long and 1.64 m high, can hold from five to seven passengers on three rows of seats (2 + 3 + 2). The emergence of this model is designed to strengthen the position of Peugeot in the segment of vehicles for family use. The so-called “family” class is indicated by the first digit in the model designation. Two zeros, according to the manufacturer, say that the Peugeot 5008 belongs to the family of cars with a large body height and a high seating position for the driver. Finally, the last digit indicates the generation of the model.
Outside and in the interior trim, the Peugeot 5008 model resembles its fellow Peugeot 3008 crossover. The elongated headlights, the rising line of the bonnet, the sloping roof, the elongated body, the high belt line - all this causes a feeling of swiftness. In short, the exterior is characterized by conciseness, originality, elegance and good aerodynamic characteristics. The drag coefficient is 0.29.
The interior design is ergonomic and stylish.

The luggage compartment of the Peugeot 5008 can hold from 758 liters (with the third row of seats folded) to 2506 liters of cargo (with the second row of the seats folded down). In addition, the model 5008 has many smaller compartments under the seats, in the front panel and so on, with a total capacity of 60 liters. Carrier body has programmable deformation zones.
