Overview

Released in Australia in February 2018, the Peugeot P87 5008 was a seven-seat SUV. Manufactured in Rennes, France, the front-wheel Peugeot P87 5008 was powered by 1.6-litre turbocharged petrol and 2.0-litre turbocharged diesel engines, both of which were mated to six-speed automatic transmissions. The 2.0-litre diesel engine had a ‘Stop & Start’ function which enabled it to shut down when the vehicle was stationary in traffic and a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system which injected urea solution into the exhaust gases to reduce NOx emissions. As per the table below, the P87 5008 range consisted of Allure, GT Line and GT editions.

From September 2019, the Peugeot 5008 GT was equipped with an eight-speed Aisin automatic transmission. Due to this change, the Stop & Start function could operate at speeds up to 20 km/h and a ‘freewheeling’ function could select neutral at speeds above 25 km/h to reduce mechanical resistance.

Body and dimensions

The Peugeot P87 5008 was underpinned by Peugeot’s ‘Efficient Modular Platform 2’ (EMP2) which is shared with the Peugeot T9 308 and Peugeot T9 3008 . Compared to the T9 3008, however, the P87 5008 was 194 mm longer (at 4641 mm), 18 mm wider (1844 mm), 27 mm taller (1651 mm) and had a 165 mm longer wheelbase (2840 mm). For the Peugeot 5008’s seating –

• The second row featured three separate seats of equal width which could slide fore and aft, be folded down from the outside or from the boot for a flat load floor, had five different angles of inclination, adjustable headrests, and three-point Isofix anchor points and tether points on the backrests; and,
• The third row consisted of two separate seats which cold fold down for a flat floor or be removed since each seat weighed less than 11 kg.

When the third row seats were removed, luggage space for the Peugeot 5008 was 1080 litres. In combination with the foldable front passenger seat, the Peugeot 5008 could carry objects up to 3179 mm metres long.

Suspension and steering

The Peugeot P87 5008 had MacPherson strut front suspension and a torsion beam rear axle. Furthermore, the P87 5008 had rack-and-pinion steering with electric power assistance; the steering wheel requires 2.8 turns from lock-to-lock, while the turning circle is 11.2 metres.

Safety equipment

Standard safety equipment for the Peugeot P87 5008 included dual front airbags, front seat-mounted side airbags, full-length curtain airbags (i.e. for all three rows of occupants), ABS, electronic brake force distribution, brake assist, electronic stability control, traction control and front seatbelts with pre-tensioners and load limiters.

As standard, the Peugeot P87 5008 was equipped with the following active safety technologies –

• Automatic Emergency Braking System (AEBS): could apply the brakes automatically – without any action from a driver – to avoid a collision or reduce vehicle speed if a collision was anticipated. AEBS could detect moving vehicles when the Peugeot 5008 was driving at speeds between 5 km/h and 140 km/h, stationary vehicles from speeds of less than 80 km/h and pedestrians from speeds of less than 60 km/h;
• Adaptive Cruise Control with stop function: operating at speeds between 30 km/h and 180 km/h, Adaptive Cruise Control used a radar sensor – mounted in the front bumper – which had a range of 150 metres to monitor traffic ahead. Adaptive Cruise Control could maintain the speed set by the driver and automatically brake to maintain a safe following distance to the vehicle ahead, or maintain a pre-set distance from the selectable distant, normal and close settings;
• Lane Departure Warning (LDW): operating at speeds over 80 km/h, LDW used a camera to detect continuous or broken road lines. If the Peugeot 5008 crossed these lines without the indicators having been activated, visual and audible warnings would be issued;
• Driver Attention Alert (DAA): would sound a warning and display a message prompting the driver to take a break if the vehicle had been driving continuously at over 60 km/h for two hours; and,
• Traffic sign recognition / intelligent speed adaptation: used the camera above the windscreen to interpret road signs and displayed the corresponding speed limit on the instrument panel. The driver could also use a ‘speed suggestion’ function to set vehicle speed to the speed detected by the camera by pushing the cruise control ‘MEM’ button.

As standard, the Peugeot 5008 GT Line and GT were further equipped with:

• Active Blind Spot Monitoring (ABSM): operating at speeds between 12 km/h and 140 km/h, ABSM could warn the driver if a vehicle was in their blind spot by illuminating a lamp in the appropriate door mirror. Furthermore, corrective steering would be initiated if the Peugeot 5008 crossed a lane marking when there was a vehicle in the blind spot;
• Active Lane Departure Warning (ALDW): operating at speeds between 65 km/h and 180 km/h, ALDW would correct the vehicle’s course by progressively applying steering lock if it determined that the vehicle was likely to depart from its lane. However, the corrective steering could be over-ridden by holding the steering wheel firmly or by activating an indicator;
• Advanced Driver Attention Alert (ADAA): a camera at the top of the windscreen monitored the vehicle’s position within its lane and, if drifting was detected, would sound an alarm and display warning messages (such as ‘Be careful’ or ‘Rest’) according to the level of urgency; and,
• Smartbeam Assist: automatically switched between high beam and low beam illumination depending on lighting conditions and oncoming traffic.

As an extra-cost option, these items were available for the Peugeot 5008 Allure as part of a ‘Safety Pack’.

EP6DT engines: carbon deposits

For the Peugeot 5008, the 1.6-litre EP6DT turbocharged petrol engines are susceptible to developing carbon deposits on the back of the intake valves. Since direct injection engines such as the EP6DT do not spray fuel on the backside of the intake valves, the detergent properties of the fuel cannot remove the carbon build up (as occurs in port injected engines). Symptoms of carbon deposits on the intake valve include difficulty starting the vehicle (hard starting), misfiring, misfire engine codes and reduced engine performance.

The EP6DT engines were member of the ‘Prince’ engine family and closely related to MINI’s N14 engine which powered vehicles such as the MINI R56 Cooper S. The video below shows how carbon build-up is cleared from the N14 engine of the MINI R56 Cooper S.

Released in May 2013, the Peugeot 5008 was a seven-seat people mover. Manufactured in Sochaux, France, the front-wheel drive 5008 was available with 1.6-litre turbocharged petrol and 2.0-litre turbo-diesel engines. Compared to the Peugeot 3008 crossover with which the 5008 shared its PSA PF2 platform, the 5008 was 164 mm longer (at 4529 mm) and had a 114 mm longer wheelbase (2727 mm)… Read full Peugeot 5008 review
