ASMW name Peugeot 5008 Scottish MPV of 2010

Posted: Dec 03, 2010 |Comments: 0 |

The Association of Scottish Motoring Writers (ASMW) has named the Peugeot 5008 as its ‘Scottish MPV of The Year'. The French manufacturer's compact MPV faced stiff competition from all makes and models including the Ford S Max and Mazda 5. The 5008 has also been awarded 2010 MPV Car of the Year by What Car? magazine.

The Peugeot 5008 was released in 2009 at around the same time as the new Peugeot 3008 in Slough; the 5008 is available as a 7 seater as well as a traditional 5 seater. The 5008 comes with 5 engines options, 2 petrols and 3 diesels.
The petrol line up consists of two 1.6 litre engines with either 118bhp or 154bhp, the HDI diesels come as a 1.6 litre with 108bhp or a 2.0 litre with 148bhp or 161bhp. The 1.6 litre diesel HDI is the best compromise between power and economy.

The Peugeot 5008 7 seater layout version features adjustable middle row seats - which slide and recline individually, a maximum 5-star EuroNCAP protection for all the occupants and the unique-to-the-sector features like the head-up display of speed and distance alert, it is a perfect combination of high quality and space utilisation.

Peugeot Communications Director, Andrew Didlick commented, "Peugeot is really on a roll at the moment. The new RCZ sports coupe, crossover 3008 and compact 5008 are all very much in demand. This award is further demonstration of the progress and appeal of our new products and comes significantly in the brand's 200th anniversary year. The Peugeot 5008 really is the perfect family vehicle, so we are not entirely surprised it has collected a boot-full of awards in its first year."
