Reinventing a classic
IT is difficult to make a functional tool fashionable. Style is always second to substance, especially when it comes to improving the capabilities of a seven-seater family car without compromising aesthetics. Peugeot has achieved this feat by reinventing its 5008.
Following the monumental success of the revamped 3008, Peugeot has decided to up the game and roll out a new 5008 reimagined as an SUV.
The 5008 now features a more athletic stance with high shoulder lines and tasteful details that complement its generous build.
Cocooned in stylish luxury
Open the front doors and be greeted by Peugeot's awardwinning i-Cockpit – a command centre that is complete with stateof-the-art technology, intuitive controls and minimalist architecture.
The i-Cockpit allows the driver complete control in the new 5008 SUV while providing a visually soothing, comfortable environment for every drive.
Technology showcase
The new 5008 SUV takes the interface experience between driver and technology to the next level. A 12.3-inch head-up display provides the driver with information about the car.
The eight-inch touchscreen allows you to access various functions including the car's climate control, media player and navigation.
It comes with MirrorLink, Apple Carplay, Android Auto and voice recognition that allows the driver to stay connected to his smartphone, but be safe at the same time.
Spacious comfort
The new 5008 SUV’s wide rear doors and three rows of seats mean it has space for everything and everyone.
The three seats in the second row can be moved, folded flat or removed altogether to maximise legroom or cargo space.
If you have your hands full, you can access the enormous boot via the motorised hands-free tailgate, which can be engaged by waving your foot or pushing a button.
Maximum control
The new 5008 SUV employs a whole array of driving aids to ensure the driver stays in complete control over any terrain. The advanced grip control feature allows you to travel on varied surfaces with torque regulation and braking ability at each driving wheel to ensure maximum traction.
This next-generation traction control system has five modes to choose from – normal, ESP-Off, sand, mud and snow.
Further enhancing the advanced grip control feature’s capabilities is the hill-assist descent control system, which aids the driver downhill by controlling throttle and brake application for a safe descent off-road.
The new 5008 SUV also features driving aids such as dynamic stability control, electronic stability control, anti-skid regulation and electronic brake distribution.
Uncompromising safety
When you drive loved ones around, the greatest comfort you need from your car is the peace of mind that comes from knowing everyone is safe.
The new 5008 SUV has a five-star Euro NCAP rating, thanks to the strong Electronic Modular Platform 2 on which the new 5008 SUV is built and a whole list of safety features that ensure maximum protection for occupants in emergencies. Driving aids such as the front and rear park assist, hill-start assist, 180-degree reverse camera and lane departure warning ensure an easy, enjoyable experience for a driver in the new 5008 SUV.
At RM173,888 onwards in THP Allure specifications, the new 5008 SUV is not only a versatile workhorse for those with active lifestyles, it is also the perfect blend of state-of-the-art technology and distinctive aesthetics.
The new 5008 SUV will be showcased at the Malaysia Autoshow 2018 this Thursday to Sunday at Malaysia Agro Exposition Park Serdang.
