[Asia Economy Reporter Changhwan Lee] Peugeot announced on the 1st that it has launched the facelifted model of its 7-seater flagship model, the Peugeot 5008 SUV (Sports Utility Vehicle), the ‘New Peugeot 5008 SUV,’ and has begun full-scale sales.

The New Peugeot 5008 SUV is a 7-seater SUV model that played a major role in Peugeot becoming the No.1 SUV brand in Europe in 2018, along with the Peugeot 2008 and 3008 SUVs. It was also used as the official protocol vehicle for French President Emmanuel Macron.

In the domestic market, it has achieved cumulative sales of over 3,000 units since its first launch in December 2017.

The New Peugeot 5008 SUV applies Peugeot’s new design language and has transformed into a stronger and more luxurious appearance. The front features an integrated frameless grille emphasizing connectivity with the body and headlamps, completing a sleek yet dignified SUV style.

It features Peugeot’s new signature daytime running lights (DRL) shaped like a lion’s fangs, and is equipped with newly designed full LED headlamps including fog lamps. On both ends of the lower bumper, side scoops highlighted in glossy black emphasize sportiness. The ‘5008’ emblem has been added to the center of the hood.

The 3D LED rear lamps, shaped like lion’s claw marks, have evolved into a more three-dimensional form and are finished with smoky glass to complete a modern and elegant style. Additionally, newly applied LED sequential turn signals that light up sequentially from the inside to the outside enhance both visibility and style.
