Peugeot’s third-generation family hauler braves the seven-seat class with hybrid power and new interior tech
Was 2024 the year of the seven-seat SUV?Kia started it off with the all-new electric EV9, Skoda followed soon after with the second generation of the Kodiaq, and both Kia (again) and Hyundai refreshed their piston-powered models, the Sorento and the Santa Fe.Despite its wealth of brands, the Stellantis group sells only one such car in Europe, the Peugeot 5008, so it couldn’t stay behind and duly also launched a brand-new generation at the tail end of the year.It’s based on the new STLA Medium platform and, as with most new products from the group, it’s available with both electric and ICE power. Here we will focus on the more affordable hybrid version.
