Peugeot 5008 - MPG, emissions & running costs

The latest evolution of the Peugeot 5008 offers buyers a choice of models to suit their lifestyle and driving habits. For instance, if it’s maximum convenience you’re after, the entry-level 5008 Hybrid doesn’t need to be plugged in for a charge. Instead, it recuperates energy when the car slows down to top up its 0.9kWh battery. 

The small battery only allows the 5008 Hybrid to cover very short distances at low speeds on battery power alone, but that’s enough for it to return up to 52.5mpg, according to Peugeot. During our testing, we only managed to achieve 40.8mpg. And that was with just two adults onboard.

Above this is the 5008 Plug-in Hybrid, which as its name suggests needs charging whenever possible, because it features a much larger 21kWh battery. But the benefits are fuel efficiency up to 356.2mpg, Peugeot claims, and a pure-electric range of up to 48 miles. We’ve yet to test this particular version and its fuel economy claims for ourselves.

Finally, there’s the fully electric Peugeot E-5008, which we’ve done a separate in-depth review of if you’re interested in the EV version. It’s only available with a 73kWh battery that offers up to 310 miles of range, but a larger 98kWh battery version with up to 415 miles of range on one charge will be introduced later this year.

Electric range, battery life and charge time

The Peugeot 5008 Plug-in Hybrid offers a pure-electric range of up to 48 miles thanks to its 21kWh battery, which should allow most people to commute to work or do the school run without using any petrol. The plug-in hybrid Skoda Kodiaq iV can cover 75 miles on battery power alone, but it is only available with five seats.

The 5008 Plug-in Hybrid has a maximum charging speed of 3.6kW, so fully recharging it will take around five-and-a-half hours from a typical 7kW home wallbox charger.

Tax 

The 5008 Hybrid falls into the 31% Benefit-in-Kind (BiK) tax band, while the 5008 Plug-in Hybrid attracts an 8% BiK rate thanks to its EV range and CO2 emissions as low as 18g/km. Of course, company car drivers will be most interested in the pure-electric E-5008, which like all EVs, currently attracts a BiK rate of just 2%. 

But because all but the most basic 5008 has a list price of over £40,000, it requires paying the expensive car supplement, sometimes referred to as the luxury car tax. That means you’ll shell out £600 a year in Vehicle Excise Duty (VED). 

Depreciation

According to our expert data, the latest Peugeot 5008 is predicted to maintain around 48% of its resale value after three years or 36,000 miles, while the electric Peugeot E-5008 is only expected to maintain about 43% 

For comparison, the Skoda Kodiaq should retain between 42 to 49% of its value over the same period.
