Overview
Positioned as a spacious, stylish family mover, the latest 5008 brings a mild hybrid 1.2 litre petrol with a 48 volt system, a slick e DSC6 dual clutch, and seven proper seats in a footprint that still fits city parking. It now stretches to about 4.79 m in length with a 2.90 m wheelbase, and the cabin showcases Peugeot’s new panoramic i Cockpit with a sweeping display. For local buyers, the combination of efficient petrol hybrid hardware, a tall driving position, and flexible seating makes it a compelling alternative to larger ladder frame SUVs while keeping running costs reasonable.

Families who want seven seats without stepping into a bulky body on frame SUV will see the 5008 as a sweet spot, since it feels tidy in traffic yet opens up into a genuinely practical cabin. The hybrid 136 powertrain pairs a small turbo petrol with a compact motor inside the gearbox, so pulling away and crawling in queues feel calm while the dual clutch brings crisp upshifts once speeds rise. Performance is sensible rather than punchy, but the payback is fuel use that can sit in the mid fives per 100 km on the WLTP cycle, which matters when running costs are top of mind. The new panoramic i Cockpit brings a premium vibe and the compact steering wheel gives a light, direct feel that suits urban trips. In the second row you have generous legroom and a sliding bench, and the rearmost pair suits kids or short hops for adults, a fair trade off in a three row footprint of this size. Ride comfort is generally settled, though rough patches and tall speed bumps can send a sharper thud through the cabin on big wheel trims. Safety kit is strong, with proper automatic emergency braking and lane support, and the optional Grip Control pack adds useful traction maps for wet climbs to hill country or sandy access roads. For Sri Lanka, the seven seat flexibility, easy maneuverability, and efficient petrol hybrid make more sense than a thirsty large SUV, and the presence of new units in the market around the mid to high thirty millions strengthens the value case versus many used imports. Buyers who prioritise outright power or all wheel drive should look elsewhere, but for balanced family duty the 5008 lands in a very good place.

Exterior Design
From the first glance the 5008 projects a clean, modern stance, with a longer body that improves proportion and presence without feeling bulky on narrow lanes. Peugeot’s new face uses a tall grille with pattern detailing and slim headlamps that sweep into the signature three claw light graphic, and the surfacing down the sides keeps things taut rather than busy. The body has grown to roughly 4.79 m long and 1.69 m tall on a 2.90 m wheelbase, numbers that translate to more legroom and easier access to the third row. Overhangs and roofline are managed to keep the silhouette elegant, and blacked out pillars give the floating roof look that suits darker colours especially well. Wheel designs range from sensible to striking, and while the large diameter options fill the arches handsomely, they can also add a little edge to ride comfort on coarse chip or patched tarmac. Practical touches include roof rails, wide opening doors, and a tailgate aperture that makes bulky prams and water bottles easy to load. Paint depth and panel fit feel competitive, and the details, from the rear light bar to the tidy diffuser, reinforce a cohesive design language. In Colombo traffic the taller seating helps visibility over low hatches, and the footprint still fits into mall parking. The new shape is clearly aligned to the electric E 5008, which gives it a fresher look than older rivals, and that future facing style will age well for second owners. Overall it balances style, aero cleanliness, and family function in a way that feels right sized for urban and suburban life.
