Peugeot 5008

"In a world awash with SUVs that shout about their performance or off-road pedigree, the Peugeot 5008 GT takes a different, more refined approach. This is a car that wears its purpose proudly � a handsome, intelligently engineered seven-seater that majors on comfort, practicality, and continental elegance. This latest-generation 5008, especially in GT trim, strikes a fine balance between understated sophistication and modern dynamism. The bold frameless grille, flanked by Peugeot's signature sabre-tooth LED daytime running lights, gives it an assertive face, while sharp creases and floating roofline details create a silhouette that's more upscale than utilitarian. Chunky alloys, gloss black detailing, and privacy glass complete the look � this is a car that knows it's good-looking, but doesn't need to shout about it. Under the bonnet lies a quiet achiever: Peugeot's 1.5-litre BlueHDi diesel, putting out a relaxed but purposeful 130hp. It's mated to the brand's slick 8-speed EAT8 automatic gearbox, delivering smooth progress whether you're gliding through town or stretching its legs on the motorway. Expect excellent fuel economy (60+ mpg) on longer runs and low CO&#8322,, emissions, making this 5008 as fiscally savvy as it is family-friendly. And despite its size, the 5008 handles with surprising grace, thanks to responsive steering and supple suspension that shrugs off British B-roads with ease. Climb aboard and Peugeot's i-Cockpit wraps around you like a bespoke suit. A compact steering wheel sits below a customisable 12.3-inch digital driver's display, while a 10-inch central touchscreen takes care of infotainment duties. The pi�ce de r�sistance? Seven configurable seats, with a genuinely usable third row and boot space that expands to over 2,000 litres with the rear seats folded. School runs, IKEA trips, or cross-country jaunts � the 5008 eats them all for breakfast. If you're after a practical SUV with a premium twist � and a flair for doing things the French way � this 5008 might just be your perfect match."
