Should you buy one?

If you need a seven-seat EV and want your car to carry some degree of style, the Peugeot E-5008 is an easy recommendation. Below £50,000 there’s currently little else to choose. Look beyond those criteria and it has a slightly tougher time – the Skoda Kodiaq is an ever-impressive car in this sector and we suspect the hybridised 5008 will have tougher and broader competition.

We’re a bigger fan of this than the Peugeot E-3008, though – the pair’s plain dynamics and (thus far) modest performance are less of a concern in this configuration and the styling arguably works even better in this longer, more elegant form. It’ll be pricey, but the design and quality currently exhibited at Peugeot might just be good enough to back that up.
