With sales surging 38pc year-on-year, the 5008 has been a mega success for the French car giant. The seven-seater is available in hybrid and full-electric models. This year, one in four 5008 buyers chose the full-electric version, making it the best-selling electric seven-seater model in Ireland. Powered by a 73kWh battery that generates 210bhp, it has a claimed range of up to 502km. This battery unit is also capable of rapid charging, allowing a 20pc to 80pc top-up in just 30 minutes. The third-generation model comes with the latest i-Cockpit software, with a digital instrument panel and a panoramic 21-inch HD curved display. Clever pricing may be the key to its success, as both the hybrid and EV start from just €50,995. Peugeot is distributed in Ireland by Gowan Group, which also distributes Fiat, Opel, Jeep and more.
