2022 Peugeot 5008 price and specs

The cost of entry into a new Peugeot 5008 has leapt by almost $10,000.

The range now opens with a new, more comprehensively-equipped GT Sport petrol model.

It’s priced much closer to the GT diesel, which confusingly carried an $8000 premium over the GT petrol in last year’s line-up on account of various extra equipment items.

The new GT Sport petrol includes more standard equipment than the carryover diesel, but is priced $1050 less. It’s set to arrive in showrooms in the second quarter of 2022.

That includes the items from the diesel’s $4990 option package, including Nappa leather upholstery and a panoramic sunroof.

It also receives those features withheld from the defunct GT petrol, such as a 10-speaker Focal sound system, lane-positioning assist, and an eight-way power driver’s seat with massaging.

As in the related 3008 GT Sport, the new 5008 variant packs a more powerful version of Peugeot’s turbocharged 1.6-litre four-cylinder engine with 133kW of power and 250Nm of torque – up 12kW and 10Nm on the old GT petrol.

It’s mated with an eight-speed torque-converter automatic transmission and front-wheel drive.

It’s distinguished from the dead and surviving GT models with an exterior black pack, which includes 19-inch alloy wheels with a ‘Black Mist’ finish.

As for the $3000 price increase for the carryover diesel, Peugeot cites an increase in production costs.

It also cites demand for GT Sport variants of the redesigned 2008 and refreshed 3008 as the reason for the change in 5008 variants.

The 5008 is effectively a boxier, three-row version of the 3008.

While last year’s facelift of the mid-sized siblings juiced 3008 sales – increasing 33 per cent to 1172 units – the 5008 was down 21.9 per cent to just 189 units, which meant it outsold only its corporate cousin the Citroen C5 Aircross in this segment.
