The all-new Peugeot 5008
The future looks bright for large C-segment seven-seater SUVs. The segment has changed a lot since 2009, when the first-generation Peugeot 5008 was released, and since then a great number of SUVs have entered the market in nearly all segments.
It has taken but a few years for the SUV body style to become the only consistently growing sales share across all passenger vehicle segments in the last five years.
Why make the new 5008 an SUV, thereby abandoning the C-segment seven-seater people-carrier niche? Few car manufacturers currently offer large C SUVs, because this sub-segment is still developing, so there is a real demand and a lot of potential.
By virtue of its unique qualities, the newly unveiled PEUGEOT 5008 SUV aims to achieve three objectives:
· to pursue the brand’s up-market move strategy
· to be an international success
· to become the leading (benchmark) C-segment large seven-seater SUV.
The new PEUGEOT i-Cockpit® elevates the passenger compartment! It has inherited many traits of the PEUGEOT 2008 and 3008 SUVs. With a compact steering wheel, an 8” capacitive touchscreen, and a spectacular 12.3” high-resolution digital head-up instrument panel. The responsive, user-friendly touchscreen puts all the information drivers need for a comfortable trip at their fingertips. The seven central satin chrome dashboard switches offer quick access to the main passenger comfort and safety functions: radio, Air Conditioning, Satellite Navigation, vehicle settings, telephone, apps, and hazard warning lights.
Both the Allure and GT Line versions also feature an extra button, next to the dashboard switches, to take things up a notch. With i-Cockpit® Amplify, be prepared for a richer driving experience that stimulates four senses at once:
- sight, by adjusting screen colour and compartment lighting intensity
- hearing, via musical ambience settings
- touch, through five different multipoint seat massage programmes
- smell, with a fragrance diffuser.
The vehicle offers its occupants two predefined sensory environments: ‘Boost’, in tune with a dynamic driving style, and ‘Relax’, for a mellower ambience. Both can be fully customised, to accentuate the pleasure of driver and passengers alike. The new electric impulse automatic gearbox control exemplifies the modern elegance of the interior, through the meticulous selection of materials - like leather and chrome.
It stands out in the market with an innovative configuration:
· three matching, separate, folding and tilting seats in the second row
· two removable, separate, folding seats in the third row.
Users can easily fold them down from the outside or from the boot to yield a rigid floor with seat-back covers to make a seamless flat surface. Each features three-point Isofix anchor points. The new Peugeot 5008 SUV also offers a third row of two extra seats that fold down into the boot floor as standard.
The two covers of the boot floor form a perfectly flat surface when folded down, and they can also be easily tucked away behind the third-row seats when these are in use.
Controls on the top of the second-row side-seat backs facilitate access to the third-row seats. In just one movement, the second-row side seats tilt and slide forward for easier third-row entry. The third-row seats are easily removable. A practical hands-free smart electric tailgate opens and closes quickly and effortlessly when activated – simply by placing your foot under the rear bumper.
Enhancing its looks are alloy wheels ranging from 18” on Allure to 19” on the GT Line, profiled standard-fit aluminium longitudinal roof bars and large panoramic opening glass sunroof. There are two petrol engines available for the all-new 5008 SUV: a 1.6L THP 121kW six speed automatic or a 2.0L HDI 110kW six-speed automatic.
Advanced Driver Assistance Systems make driving even safer with an arsenal of safety features - A Safety pack, including Automatic Emergency Braking System (AEBS) and Distance AlertSystems (GT Line) - Active Lane Keeping Assistance - Driver attention warning- Smart Beam Assistance- Speed sign recognition and speed suggestion
- Adaptive cruise control with stop feature (automatic gearbox) - Active blind spot monitoring - Park Assist - Visio Park (180° vision on GT Line)
The best in permanent connectivity, functions like the Mirror Screen™ and 3D navigation fulfil the driver’s need to remain connected while behind the steering wheel and stay on course without stress. The 3D navigation system displays buildings and landmarks while taking driver preference into account. One turn of the steering wheel dial switches the navigation system output from the 8.0” capacitive touchscreen to the 12.3” high-resolution digital head-up instrument panel for easier reading.
The Mirror Screen function displays a copy of your smartphone screen to the vehicle’s touchscreen for easy app access. It is compatible with MirrorLink (Android), Android Auto, and Apple Carplay™ (iPhone 5 and later). Pressing a button on the steering wheel activates smartphone voice recognition (Android S-Voice or Apple Siri).
Standard on all versions of the all-new 5008 SUV, Distance Alert warns the driver if there is a risk the vehicle may collide with a vehicle or pedestrian ahead. The Automatic Emergency Braking System (AEBS) on GT Line comes into play next, if the driver fails to apply the brakes or otherwise react in a timely manner. It helps avoid or lessen the severity of an imminent collision by reducing vehicle speed - without any action on the part of the driver.
The system reacts to vehicles, whether stationary or moving with traffic in the same direction, as well as pedestrians on the road. (It does not detect bicycles, motorcycles, animals, or inanimate objects on the thoroughfare.)
The Automatic Emergency Braking System (AEBS) is enabled when the vehicle is moving at a speed: - between 5 and 140 km/h, if another moving vehicle is detected; - under 80 km/h, if another, stationary vehicle is detected; - under 60 km/h, if a pedestrian is detected.
Active Lane Departure warning system using a camera that recognises the broken or solid painted lines between road lanes, this system detects when the vehicle drifts unintentionally across them. To ensure safety, a visual signal and a warning sound are triggered if the vehicle is moving faster than 80 km/h image analysis by the camera suggests that driver attention is waning, and the car is swerving.When moving at a speed between 65 km/h and 180 km/h, the Active Lane Departure warning system also corrects the trajectory if an involuntary lane change is imminent by gradually steering the vehicle back on course. The driver may override this protective feature if the vehicle’s trajectory was intentional (as when avoiding something up ahead) by holding the steering wheel steady. The directional indicator also disables the trajectory correction.
Driver attention warning system is a standard feature on the all-new PEUGEOT 5008 SUV is the Rest reminder. This system sounds a warning and displays a message prompting the driver to take a break if it detects that the vehicle has been driving continuously at over 65 km/h for two hours.
Peugeot Smartbeam Assistance a camera at the top of the windscreen analyses detected light sources. It switches automatically between full and dipped beams according to traffic and lighting conditions. This maximises use of full beam in the interest of safety and optimised sight in reduced-light conditions.The camera above the windscreen also recognises and interprets road signs marking the beginning or end of speed limit zonesand displays the corresponding speed on the instrument panel. The system also obtains speed limit information from the vehicle’s navigational maps. Special speed limit indications, such as those that apply to heavy trucks, are not displayed. This feature is standard on all versions.
Adaptive Cruise Control with stop feature (ACC Stop) on GT Line versions
The vehicle is equipped with a radar in the centre of the front bumper that has a range of 150 metres. When driving at a speed between 30 (18mph) and 180 km/h (111mph), ACC Stop serves two functions: · to maintain the cruising speed set by the driver
· to stay a safe distance from the vehicle ahead (with predefined ‘far’, ‘normal’, and ‘close’ settings). The ACC Stop system detects a vehicle ahead that is moving in the same direction of traffic. It automatically adapts speed to that of the vehicle detected, using the engine and normal brake systems (thus activating the brake lights) to maintain a safe and constant following distance until the vehicle comes to a complete stop.
Active Blind Spot Monitoring system when driving at a speed between 12 and 140 km/h, this system warns the driver if a car, truck, or two-wheeled vehicle is in a blind spot, should its presence potentially pose a danger.An indicator lights up on the corresponding door mirror.
This system works in sync with the Active Lane Departure warning system. If the driver begins to cross a lane marking with the intent to change lanes, while the turn signals are on, and a vehicle is detected in the relevant blind spot, the door mirror warning indicator will light up and the lane departure system will attempt to correct the vehicle's trajectory to avoid a collision.
