The French are known for two things: style and love. Trouble is, the product of the latter tends to cramp the former. So what's an amorous Frenchman to do? If the legion has grown too large for the cabrio, then perhaps you get one of these: the new Peugeot 5008. The French automaker's latest MPV (that's Euro-speak for "minivan") offers a wide variety of configuration options to accommodate loads of cargo or up to seven passengers in a tech- and glass-intensive cabin to make cruising in this Très Grand Véhicule as comfortable as a ride through the Alps in a rail-bound TGV.
"A comprehensive range of environmentally-friendly engines
At the time of its launch, the 5008 will be available with six latest-generation engines. They will combine perfectly with the dynamic styling of this new people carrier. Combining performance and fuel economy, these engines also offer reduced levels of CO2 emissions together with great driveability.
Two petrol engines will be available at the time of launch:
• 1.6 litre VTi 120 bhp BVM5 Euro 5 -7.3 litres/100 km and 169 g/km CO2 in the combined cycle*
• 1.6 litre VTi 156 bhp BVM5 Euro 5 -7.1 litres/100 km and 167 g/km CO2 in the combined cycle*
Four diesel engines will be available:
• 1.6 litre HDi FAP 110 bhp BVM6 - 5.4 litres/100 km and 143 g/km CO2 in the combined cycle*
