As the curtain begins to fall on the outgoing Peugeot 5008, the 2024 model in Allure Premium + trim bows out with a final act that?s well worth the standing ovation. It may be the last of the old shape, but it?s far from outdated ? still one of the most stylish seven-seaters on the road, with sharp creases, signature claw-like rear lights, and a poised, almost SUV-coupe profile that makes many rivals look positively boxy by comparison. What makes this swansong particularly compelling is the addition of Peugeot?s new 1.2-litre Hybrid 136 engine, paired with the smooth e-DSC6 dual-clutch automatic. It brings mild electrification into the mix without fuss, offering quieter low-speed driving, better efficiency, and punchier throttle response than the older petrols. It?s not about outright power, but refinement ? and here the hybrid powertrain delivers in spades, making the big 5008 feel more composed and modern on the move. Step inside and the Allure Premium + trim continues to impress. You get Peugeot?s i-Cockpit layout with a crisp digital display, a generously equipped 10-inch touchscreen, and plush materials throughout. There?s a tangible sense of quality here, with seven genuinely usable seats ? not just occasional afterthoughts. Whether it?s the school run or a weekend escape, the 5008 remains a masterclass in flexible family motoring. It?s rare that a model bows out on such a high, but the 2024 Peugeot 5008 does just that. It?s a stylish, spacious, and now more efficient family SUV that proves you don?t need to wait for the next generation to get something genuinely great. A fond farewell ? but what a way to go.
