A SUV that will impress

VIVE LA FRANCE: WHICH PRODUCED THE APPEALING, SEXY PEUGEOT 5008

- Seelan Pillay

This seven-seater will take your driving experience to new digital heights.

The Peugeot 5008 is the seven-seater new kid on the block and changes of perception­s about Peugeot and its pedigree. The French are known for many of the finer things in life – croissants, foie gras, champagne and perfume, to name a few.

So why not cars? And why not this SUV?

It offers everything a modern SUV should, and more, oozing French flair.

The styling is breathtaki­ng; different from its competitor­s, with sexiness and appeal.

The interior is focused on detail in build quality, the latest version of the Peugeot i-cockpit and plenty of high-tech features that just keep adding to its comfort and safety.

It takes this SUV to new digital heights, enhancing your driving experience and heightened levels of advanced driver assistance systems – active blind spot detection, alerting the driver to obstacles, displayed on the mirrors, as well as adjusting the steering should you not notice the obstacle.

The 5008 comes fitted with a panoramic sunroof, which tilts and slides, creating natural light inside.

The leather seats have pocket-stitched finishes that make them more comfortabl­e, not to mention a massage function.

It is also one of the easiest seven-seaters five-year or 100 000km service plan – and if you are in the market for a seven-seater SUV, you have to consider it. Believe me, it will change your perception of what you get versus the competitio­n.

I drove the GTline which comes in at R600 000, but it has all the bells and whistles.
