The engine is in-line with the latest Euro 4 standards. And has undergone stringent and successful hot weather testing prior to its release in the region.

Top of the line design
The 5008’s design shows a dominant yet elegant presence, intertwined with the cosy luxurious interior – featuring:
- a panoramic sunroof
- different colour trims including black Nappa leather, Alcantara or Red Nappa leather upholstery.
The interior design of the 5008 is bold – with style based on PEUGEOT’s new design language.
As expressive as always, the signature 3D LED claws once again feature in the 5008. Day or night, you’ll find it on the rear on all versions and in the projectors of high-end versions.
The 5008 is a prime example of what happens when a company knuckles down and ushers in a new era of design and functionality.
For 2021, the 5008 will be available for customers in the GCC in March.
