Overview
The Peugeot E-5008 is the seven-seat electric SUV the family market was waiting for: the first mid-size EV with three rows of seats as standard. Based on Stellantis's STLA Medium platform and built in France, it launched in the UK at £48,595 before an early price realignment brought the entry point down to £40,595.
The core Electric 210 model pairs a 73 kWh battery with a 213 bhp (157 kW) front motor: 0–62 mph takes 9.7 seconds, top speed is around 106 mph and official range is 309 miles. DC rapid charging peaks at 160 kW. A Long Range version with a 96.9 kWh battery and up to 415 miles is also offered.
Practicality is the point: 259 litres of boot with all seven seats up, 748 litres with the third row folded and 1,815 litres with rows two and three down. The 21-inch panoramic i-Cockpit screen dominates a characterful cabin, and at 4.79 m long it is big but still manageable.
Nothing else this size offers seven electric seats for the money — the Kia EV9 is larger and pricier. Performance is leisurely rather than lively, but for big families wanting to go electric without compromise on seats, the E-5008 stands alone.
