With Citroen out of the frame, Peugeot seems to have adopted a slightly different approach to sales.
Expressions of interest are invited from those keen to get their hands on a new Peugeot 5008 Hybrid SUV.
That’s the all-new seven-seat, three row 5008 by the way.
Priced from $55,990 for the 5008 Allure Hybrid or $67,990 for the 5008 GT Premium Hybrid, there’s no mention of any arrival date, or for that matter when the car is likely to put in an appearance in showrooms.
Maybe, instead of bringing a boatload of vehicles to Australia, importer Inchcape plans to sell the 5008 purely to order, or off the plan so to speak?
It’s not the first model that has been available to order and the approach could make good business sense for a company that sells a limited number of vehicles.
Peugeot describes the 5008 as a sophisticated large SUV and a true seven-seater, designed for modern Australian lifestyles.
It says the launch of the 5008 marks a pivotal step in expanding the brand’s range of advanced, efficient, and premium SUVs, as Peugeot continues its journey towards greater hybridisation, .
The next-generation hybrid powertrain combines Peugeot’s efficient 1.2-litre petrol engine with a brand new six-speed, dual-clutch automatic gearbox to produce a combined 107kW of power.
This system hybridises by incorporating a 21kW electric motor and a 0.9kWh, 48V Lithium-ion battery to deliver improved efficiency and extra torque at low revs.
The new 5008 Hybrid delivers a balance of power and fuel efficiency, with fuel economy improving by up to 15.6 per cent on a WLTP city cycle compared to the previous generation model.
The 5008 offers a versatile layout where all three second-row seat backrests independently recline, enhancing comfort on longer journeys, while the 60/40 bench seat sliding provides increased legroom in row two for maximum comfort of all passengers and cargo.
The new Peugeot 5008 offers a boot volume of 348 litres in a seven-seat configuration, 916 litres in a five-seat configuration and a cavernous 2232 litres in a two-seat configuration with second and third rows folded.
Passengers will enjoy a warm and welcoming ambience with decor combining ambient lighting, real aluminium details and natural recycled mottled fabric accents.
The 21-inch, high-definition curved panoramic i-Cockpit screen puts passengers in a hi-tech yet user-friendly environment and is standard across the range.
This advanced infotainment system offers wireless Apple CarPlay & Android Auto compatibility and natural voice recognition.
Below the 21-inch screen is a second configurable virtual ‘i-Toggle’ touchscreen, which can be used to set up to 10 shortcuts.
The Peugeot 5008 SUV incorporates a suite of the latest safety and assistance features.
Customers eager to be among the first to experience the new Peugeot 5008 Hybrid SUV are encouraged to register their interest with their local Peugeot retailer or online at: https://www.Peugeot.com.au/models/5008-hybrid-suv.html.
