Peugeot 5008 (2010 - )

Roomy, full 7-seat MPV with disappearing rearmost seats, 2,500 litre capacity, good ride quality and decent driver appeal. Very comfortable. Well priced.
Understeers predictably and controllably when pushed on greasy roads. Good, but not a sporty drive.

Introduction

Given Peugeot's credentials as one of Europe 's biggest mainsteam car makers it might seem strange that the company is only now offering a small-ish people carrier.

It's the 5008, which arrived in Britain in January 2010, appearing not long Renault launched the third generation of its Megane Scenic, likely to be one of the car's primary rivals, so Peugeot hasn't exactly rushed to join this market segment.

It has eschewed wackiness with the looks of its new car. The nearest thing to stylistic abandon are tail lamp clusters curving under the rear side windows. The rest of the 5008 is pleasant looking, and actually surprisingly wind-cheating for something with a big frontal area, an aid to fuel economy and useful for cutting wind noise.
