The seven-seater now looks like a true SUV, and gets more space to match; wider, longer, and sporting more interior volume. With the third row seats folded down completely, the trunk sports a record 780 cubic-decameters.

A new “i-Cockpit” system – adopted from the recently introduced 3008 – utilizes an Efficient Modular Platform, and introduces loads of new high-tech features not previously found on the 5008. The modular aspect coming by way of seven individual seats that can be transformed in a few different ways.

New sensory features like ambient lighting, massage seats, and in-car fragrances give the 5008 a more premium feel. While the addition of a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster brings the family hauler into the modern age, relatively speaking.

The 5008 is available with two different gas engine options. A 1.2-liter, 128-horsepower (95- kilowatt) engine comes paired to either a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic. That’s right, you can get a manual on this large SUV. Move up a trim and you can opt for the slightly more powerful 1.6-liter engine that produces 163 horsepower (121 kilowatts).
