3008 and 5008, two Peugeot SUVs on the same platform
The 3008 III arrived March 2024 with a new coupé design and Stellantis’s STLA Medium platform. The 5008 III followed in January 2025 on the same base, but with 249 mm extra wheelbase and a foldable third row. Both offer the same powertrains: Hybrid 136, 100% electric (e-3008 and e-5008) and Plug-in Hybrid 195 from 2026.
Five differences that truly separate 3008 and 5008
1. Seven seats or not seven seats: the heart of the choice
The real reason to hesitate. The 5008 offers a third row of two floor-stowed seats, usable by adults up to 1.70 m for short trips, or by two children for all uses. The 3008 is limited to 5 seats.

2. Nearly identical 5-seat boot, reduced 7-seat boot
In 5-seat configuration, both boots are close: 520 litres for the 3008, 348 litres for the 5008 (with row 3 folded). But careful: on the 5008, the third row eats 170 litres under the floor. In 7 seats deployed, the 5008 only offers 259 litres behind the rear seats.
3. A footprint that changes everything in the city
4.79 m vs 4.54 m. 25 cm gap. On a regular supermarket parking, both pass stress-free. In tight underground parking, historic city centres or a narrow alley in front of your home, the 3008 is much easier to live with.
4. Identical hybrid powertrain, slightly different performance
Both share the 1.2 PureTech Hybrid 136 with the e-DCS6 gearbox. The 5008 carries 115 kg more (1 595 vs 1 480 kg), weighing on performance. 0 to 100 km/h in 10.9 s for the 5008 vs 10.2 s for the 3008.
5. Two thousand five hundred euros gap at catalogue
At GT Hybrid 136 trim, the 3008 is at 39 900 euros, the 5008 at 42 400 euros. 2 500 euros gap.

Which to choose based on your profile
For a family of 4
The 3008 wins the match. 520 litres of boot largely enough for holidays as 4, easier footprint daily, 1 600 euros saved over 5 years.
For a family of 5 or more
The 5008 becomes the only relevant choice in the duo. The 3008 is limited to 5 seats, excluded outright.
For a couple without children
The 3008 without hesitation. No point paying the 5008 premium and dealing with its 25 extra centimetres for a use that never fills the 2 extra rear seats.
For regular urban use
The 3008 wins easily. 4.54 m stays manageable in tight parking and dense traffic. The 5008 demands constant attention.
For highway + family holidays
The 5008 takes the edge if the family counts 5+ or holidays involve bulky gear (bikes, tents).

3008 III and 5008 III reliability
Both models are too recent (2024 and 2025) to have reliable feedback beyond 100 000 km. Early signals are encouraging: no major recall, few customer complaints on specialist forums, and a 1.2 hybrid + e-DCS6 thermal design derived from the proven 2023 version.
