Peugeot updates its Chinese SUV lineup with new 4008 and 5008

Peugeot (Dongfeng Peugeot) has updated its Chinese portfolio with new 4008, 4008 PHEV and 5008 SUVs. The French marque’s 2021 Auto Shanghai lineup also included the e-2008 SUV and a long-wheelbase 508 PHEV saloon.

The 4008 is known as 3008 (second-gen) in markets outside China, while the 5008, well, remains a 5008. Both models received a facelift last year and it doesn’t look any different for the Chinese market, obviously. The e-2008 made its global debut in June 2019.

Both the 4008 and 5008 in China offer two 4-cylinder turbocharged petrol engines: a 125 kW (170 metric hp) 1.6L (1,598 cc) unit and a 155 kW (211 metric hp) 1.8L (1,751 cc) unit; the gearbox is an 8-speed automatic. The 4008 PHEV is an AWD model combining a 1.6L turbocharged petrol engine, two electric motors and an 8-speed automatic gearbox. The combined output is 221 kW (300 metric hp) and 520 Nm (383 lb-ft) of torque. It boasts a pure-electric range of up to 59 km (37 mi), drawing juice from a 13 kWh battery pack.

    E novinaru, nemaš pojma da 3008 za Europsko tržište i 4008 u Kini NISU isti. 4008 je veće vozilo sa dužim međuosovinskim razmakom. Dakle naziv mu potpuno odgovare jer je negdje na trećinu puta po dimenzijama između 3008 i 5008.

      Yes, I’m aware of that. I was referring to the second-gen 3008.
