The Peugeot 5008 (1.6 L / 7‑Seater / ex‑Japan) is a versatile mid-size SUV originally developed from the compact MPV line (2009–2016) and reimagined in the second generation (from 2017) as a more stylish, SUV-focused, seven-seat family vehicle . The 1.6-litre petrol engine—often the turbocharged PureTech variant—delivers around 180 hp and approximately 250 Nm of torque, enabling brisk performance such as 0–100 km/h in under 9 seconds depending on configuration .
Inside, the 5008 impresses with its refined cabin featuring Peugeot’s i‑Cockpit® layout—a compact steering wheel, digital instrument cluster, and intuitive touchscreen infotainment—creating a tech-forward, premium ambience . The modular interior enhances practicality: the second row comprises three independent, sliding and reclining seats, while the third row offers two foldable seats—ideal for children or occasional use . Boot space is generous when seats are stowed, offering anywhere from ~952 L (third row folded) up to nearly 1,940 L (both rear rows folded)
Driving the Peugeot 5008 offers a comfortable, quiet ride—road noise is well insulated and the suspension balances confidence and comfort—making it well-suited for family trips and urban driving alike .
If you're in Kenya or looking at imported models from Japan, the locally offered 1.6‑litre petrol units typically come with automatic transmission, 2WD, and feature-packed equipment like cruise control, folding second-row seats, roof racks, and safety systems such as ABS, traction control, and multiple airbags .
