PEUGEOT built its first car in 1889, and for most of the time since then its focus has been on producing affordable, family-friendly vehicles. It was among the first to offer estate cars, hatchbacks, MPVs and SUVs, and although its first attempts at the latter weren’t especially convincing, when the firm decided to turn its 2008, 3008 and 5008 into proper crossovers (the original 3008 and 5008 were more like MPVs), they were far more desirable and much more popular as a result.
We ran a 5008 on our fleet in 2018 and were impressed with its supportive seats, comfortable ride, cavernous interior, user-friendly (and great-sounding) infotainment system, plus its engaging handling. We also loved the quality, and the design inside and out, so could this be the perfect used SUV?
