SOME ARE BORN great, some achieve greatness and some have greatness thrust upon them. It’s the same in the motoring world, where you’ll find cars that are so good straight out of the box that they remain on top for years.
The Peugeot 5008 is a case in point. When the second-generation model was first launched in 2017, it carried off the large SUV trophy at our annual What Car? Car of the Year Awards for the next three years on the trot. And just last month it was crowned our 2022 Used Car of the Year.
Now, four years after its launch, there’s a facelifted version of the 5008. Because it was so right the first time around, the modifications are few; there’s a new front grille, some enhanced technology and fancier LED headlights and tail-lights.
