MANILA: Peugeot 5008 was hailed as “Used Seven-Seater of the Year” at the What Car? Used Car of the Year Awards 2023 due to its cozy and stylish interior, practical seating configuration, and great value for money.

The What Car? Used Car of the Year Awards honor the best vehicles for those looking for a secondhand unit. The 5008 continues Peugeot's success at the What Car? Used Car of the Year Awards after it was awarded as the overall “Used Car of the Year” last year.

Peugeot 5008 was lauded by What Car? judges for being unrivaled in its class, complimenting its exceptional value when bought used, elegant and practical interior, and smooth ride for both drivers and passengers.

“In a class chock full of some highly competitive seven-seat SUVs, the stylish 5008 has always been one of our favourites. We’ve long admired it for its impressive refinement, its space and practicality and its plush interior, and now it’s become a brilliant used buy, too. It’s great to drive, with eager handling and a range of smooth engines. Ultimately, none of the other cars in this class could match its combination of versatility, desirability and sheer all-round value,” What Car? Used Cars Editor Mark Pearson stated.

The 5008 has been known for its versatile, class-leading interior. It is perfect for daily use by large groups or families because the rear-row seats can be easily removed or folded down. For added functionality, the front-passenger seat can also be folded flat.

The 5008 comes with the i-Cockpit technology that includes a compact multi-function steering wheel, a 12.3-inch head-up display, and an eight-inch touchscreen with Mirrorscreen. It is also equipped with advanced driver assistance technologies, such as autonomous emergency braking and Active Blind Spot Detection, to guarantee safety on the road.

“I am delighted to see the Peugeot 5008 named by What Car? as its ‘Used Seven-Seater of the Year,’” Peugeot UK Managing Director Julie David said. “The Peugeot 5008 has been popular with families and drivers needing more space since it was first launched, and we are grateful for the continued support from the What Car? team in recognising the model. As we look ahead to providing a hybrid version, we hope the 5008 continues to impress drivers and experts.”
