Should you buy one?

The 5008 takes things up a gear compared to the old car: wider, longer and more spacious inside, it’s a more premium product too. Outside it looks more stylish than you’d expect for a car this size, and inside it’s spacious and refreshingly modern. Sure, its interior doesn’t feel as plush as something from Mercedes-Benz or BMW for example, but it’s interesting and full of cool fabric, interesting tech and neat ideas.

At this price point, the 5008 is competitive too, and arguably more compelling than its more electric counterparts. Our main issue? The mooing gearbox. We’ll reserve judgment until we’ve pitted it directly against the Skoda Kodiaq and Kia Sorento to see whether it can maintain its position as one of our favourite seven-seater SUVs.
