Peugeot 5008 Leads Ireland’s Large SUV Segment

Published on 25th July 2025 at 14:40

Peugeot Ireland has announced that the Peugeot 5008 is Ireland’s best-selling large 
SUV (Large SUV E3 segment, YTD) as of 13th July 2025. With sales surging 38% 
year-on-year, the 5008 continues to resonate with Irish families seeking the perfect 
combination of space, safety, and style, now with the added benefit of an electrified 
powertrain. 
Available in efficient hybrid and all-electric variants, the Peugeot 5008 is proving its 
appeal across a broad range of drivers. In fact, in 2025, one in four 5008 buyers has 
chosen the electric version (making it the best-selling electric 7-seater model in 
Ireland), a clear sign of the growing appetite for zero-emissions motoring. 
Key Highlights: 
 7-Seater Flexibility – three individual second-row seats and two fully foldable 
third-row seats provide outstanding modularity. 
 Generous Boot Capacity – up to 916 litres with the third row folded down. 
 Choice of Powertrains – hybrid or fully electric (with 502km WLTP range), 
supporting lower running costs and reduced emissions. 
 Peugeot i-Cockpit – intuitive and stylish interior with compact steering wheel, 
digital instrument panel, and a Panoramic 21'' HD curved display. 
 Family-Focused Features – including Tri-zone automatic air conditioning, 
advanced infotainment, integrated sunblind’s in rear doors, hands-free boot 
opening (some features listed are unique to the GT trim) and a full suite of 
driver assistance systems. 

Child Safety 
Safety is a top priority for families, and in the latest Euro NCAP tests, the 5008 
scored maximum points for child protection in both frontal offset and side barrier 
impact scenarios. The tests showed good protection for all critical body areas, 
underlining the 5008’s credentials as one of the safest SUVs for younger passengers. 
The Peugeot 5008 also stands out for its competitive pricing, with both the hybrid 
and fully electric versions starting from €50,995 (from €393 per month on PCP 
finance). 
Alan Kilroy, Managing Director at Gowan Auto (Peugeot Importer in Ireland), 
commented: “The Peugeot 5008 continues to set the standard for what Irish 
families need: space, safety, technology, and now, a strong mix of hybrid and 
electric options. It’s a true all-rounder that’s become the natural choice in the large 
SUV segment.”
