The Peugeot e-5008 Dual Motor is one of the few electric SUVs in Spain to offer genuine seven-seat capacity and a 325 hp drivetrain. At 4.79 meters long, or 4,791 mm, it makes a striking impression. Signature Peugeot details, including the oversized grille and claw-shaped lights, give it a distinctive presence on the road. It shares its electric architecture with the shorter, five-seat-oriented e-3008, with a longer body to accommodate a third row.
Inside, the e-5008 puts comfort and space first. The front seats, certified by AGR for back health, offer ventilation and heating, while massage is also standard. The second row has generous legroom and adjustable backrests. The third row is best suited to passengers up to 1.65 meters tall or for short trips. Luggage space is flexible: 259 liters with all seats up, 748 liters with five seats, and up to 1,815 liters with both rear rows folded. Maximum load length is 1.88 meters. As with other three-row electric SUVs, the rear seats bring a practical trade-off: passenger capacity and luggage room vary substantially with the seating configuration.
Technology and Usability
The cabin feels modern and well-finished, with Peugeot’s i-Cockpit layout at its center: a high-mounted instrument cluster paired with a compact, low-set steering wheel. The setup divides opinion, but creates a distinctive driving position. The GT Exclusive trim features a sweeping 21-inch panoramic display that combines the digital cluster with the basic touchscreen. It lets drivers control navigation and media, along with climate settings. The menus are logically organized, though some users may find the fonts and buttons small, especially on the move. Peugeot’s i-Toggles, customizable shortcut keys, provide quick access to preferred functions and make day-to-day use easier.
Performance and Driving Experience
Built on Stellantis’ STLA Medium platform, the e-5008 Dual Motor is the most powerful electric version in the lineup. It pairs a 157 kW (213 hp) front motor with an 83 kW (113 hp) rear motor, producing a combined 325 hp and all-wheel lead. The extra rear motor improves traction and output, but also adds weight and increases energy use compared with the single-motor, front-wheel-lead version. The 73 kWh usable battery delivered a real-world range of around 368 km in this test. Published figures vary by powertrain and specification: market listings give the Dual Motor a claimed range of up to 463 km, while figures of up to 487 km or more than 500 km apply to other versions and configurations. Acceleration is brisk: the car reaches 100 km/h from a standstill in just 6.2 seconds and feels quick in a straight line. Its 2.4-tonne weight is immediately apparent in corners, where body roll and understeer can emerge if pushed. The ESP intervenes early to keep things in check.
During testing, average consumption was 21.9 kWh/100 km, so long journeys will require charging stops. The e-5008 supports up to 11 kW AC and 160 kW DC charging, allowing a 20% to 80% top-up in about 30 minutes. Charging slows considerably beyond 80%, a common trait among electric vehicles. The three-level regenerative braking is adjustable, but there is no true one-pedal driving mode. Steering is light, and the suspension balances comfort with stability while filtering out most road imperfections.
Market Context and Price
Priced at €54,660, the Dual Motor version costs about €2,000 more than the 213 hp variant, positioning the e-5008 as a premium family EV. It competes with other large electric SUVs, though few match its combination of power and space with seven-seat flexibility. Buyers prioritizing charging speed can also consider models such as the XPeng G9, recently launched in Spain with ultra-fast 525 kW charging, as detailed in this report on new EV arrivals.
The Peugeot e-5008 Dual Motor offers strong performance and practical space for families seeking an electric vehicle. Its weight remains a limiting factor in dynamic driving, but with planned charging stops, it is a capable and comfortable option for daily use and long trips.
