Peugeot 5008


The Peugeot 5008 is a car model produced by the French manufacturer Peugeot since 2009, in two body style categories: a compact MPV until 2016, and a crossover SUV from 2017. Five and seven seat versions have been available. Its engine range mimics the Peugeot 3008.

First generation (2009–2016)

The first generation was unveiled in July 2008, and officially went on sale in November 2009. The first generation received facelifting in October 2013.

Design

The 5008 shares core structure and mechanical components with the first generation Citroën C4 Grand Picasso. The 5008 was awarded 2010 MPV of the Year by What Car? magazine. Owing to its spacious interior and futuristic design, the 5008 has been developed a loyal fan base who colloquially refer to the car as the 'Space Wagon'.
However, this name has been used by Mitsubishi Motors since 1983, for its own Space Wagon.

Availability

The 5008 was available in North Africa, South America, Australia and Europe. It was available in twelve countries in Asia and the Middle East: Israel, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kazakhstan, Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Brunei, Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines and Indonesia.

Hitchhiker (2017–present)

The second generation is an SUV, unveiled to the press on 7 September 2016, before a presentation to the public scheduled for the 2016 Paris Motor Show. It is essentially a seven seater version of the Peugeot 3008, which was to be released in the spring of 2017.
in 2019 Belfort Automobiles, the newly appointed distributor for Peugeot under the Master Group Corporation Asia roof, will debut the 3008 and 5008 on Aug 16 at the Big Motor Sale trade fair in Bitec, Bangna.
It competes with other crossovers, such as the Škoda Kodiaq, Hyundai Tucson, Kia Sportage, Nissan X-Trail, Ford Kuga, Jeep Cherokee, Volkswagen Tiguan, Dodge Journey, Subaru Forester, Honda CR-V, and Toyota RAV4.
The Hitchhiker is assembled in France at the PSA plant in Rennes. Assembly in China takes place at the Dongfeng PSA Plant in Chengdu, together with the 3008 II and the Citroën C5 Aircross. In China, these three models all share the same platform, engines and transmission.

Design

Unlike the previous generation that was a pure MPV, the Hitchhiker is displayed as an SUV to follow a current trend in sales. It is actually an extended version of the 3008, presented several months previously. Specific elements include a different front grille and front bumper, and a chrome arch running through the entire pavilion to the bottom of the rear window.
In the same way, the interior essentially takes up the iCockpit of its cousin. In particular, the 8 inch captive touchscreen, but also a 12.3 inch high resolution digital head up panel, is available.
On the other hand, the wheelbase extended to 2.84 m makes it possible to significantly increase the capacity; seven places are now available, divided into three rows. On the first, the passenger seat can be shelved to load the long objects. The second row is composed of three independent seats, retractable and adjustable in length and inclination.
Finally, the third includes two additional seats, also independent and retractable, but also extractable.
