Peugeot 5008 - an innovative classic for the family

As a basis for the Peugeot 5008 was chosen crossover 3008. However, from the predecessor, the novelty is distinguished by a slightly longer wheelbase and a high roof line. There are five boarding places, but due to transformational tricks, they easily turn into seven. However, on the third row only teenagers will be comfortable. All rear seats can be folded into the floor if necessary. Due to the multiple configuration of the luggage space can be increased to 2505 liters.

Folds even the front seat for passengers, which allows you to load "long-length". Salon Peugeot 5008 is equipped with a large number of glove boxes and pockets in which you can store the necessary trifles. In general, for interior Peugeot 5008 quality and pleasant to the touch materials are used. For additional funds you can make a panoramic roof. Modest configuration "Comfort" offers radio with MP3-player, navigation and Bluetooth headset for a surcharge.

The second row of passengers can enjoy the optional multimedia system with 2 monitors, which are built into the headrests of the front seats. The standard equipment of the Peugeot 5008 includes air conditioning, a typical electrical package, a large number of airbags and other technological innovations.

The engine range is represented by a gasoline unit with 16 valves per 1.6 liters. This option was jointly developed by BMW and PSA. There are also two diesel engines, also 16 valves, but this is a joint work of Ford and PSA. The petrol engine can show 120 "horses". But the turbodiesel is more powerful. Due to turbo-supercharging and direct injection of gasoline, he manages to issue 156 "horses". For gasoline engines there is a "mechanic" with five or six steps, whereas for diesel engines there is an "automatic" for six speeds with hydromechanical main. This box assumes a forced switching.

The suspension for the novelty was chosen standard. In the front part is located McPherson, in the rear - the adjoining longitudinal levers. As standard, for the Peugeot 5008 there are 16-inch wheels, but for an additional fee you can mount alloy wheels at 17-18 inches. For the rack and pinion steering there is an electrohydraulic amplifier. The "regular" package includes ABS and ESP, plus a set of electronics Snow Motion. In order to score a hundred, the Peugeot 5008 will need 12.2 seconds. The claimed maximum speed is 187 km / h. These are the figures for a model with a gasoline engine. As already mentioned above, the turbodiesel will be cheerful. Its speed characteristics are better for a few seconds. For the first "hundred" it will take 9.6 seconds, but the maximum speed increases to 195 km / h.

When the Peugeot 5008, whose price is not yet fully understood, will enter the Russian market, problems may arise. Most likely, the fact is that the sales of the C4 Picasso have not been crowned with such success, which the developers counted on. It is known that for Germany the novelty in the "basic" configuration will cost 21,500 euros. There is a petrol motor for 1.6 liters. On the territory of Europe, large sales of the intermediate version of the car are expected. Their planned volume reaches 80 thousand per year.
