    What I personally like about this one is that the design team managed to keep the true nature and beauty of the original Mercedes-Benz ML styling, but somehow boost its muscularity and confidence in slight and indirect way.

    2017 PEUGEOT 5008 PEUGEOT 5008 is here and shows some sweet features. It will try to enrich the whole C segment and it will try to impress all PEUGEOT enthusiasts and critics. What we have here is a beautiful and confident vehicle with numerous hi-tech gadgets and neat modern-day additions. Of course, the PEUGEOT i-Cockpit is present, along with Efficient Modular Platform 2 and plenty of safety systems. So, let’s dive in and see whether this one is worth the time and money.

    Exterior design

    The new PEUGEOT 5008 confidently represents brand’s vision for aesthetics and beauty: this vehicle is massive, muscular and aggressive. And where’s the beauty about that you will ask? The beauty, my friends, lies within the perfect combination of aggressiveness and elegant details. There are fine straight lines, just enough curves and above that all the needless details are just gone. There you have it. Pure beauty.

    We see a wide and beautiful front grille with chrome accents, glossy black strip at the back, blended with signature LED “claw effect” rear lights and large exclusive and eye-catching wheels with neat design. And yes, we like it.

    Interior design

    2017 PEUGEOT 5008

    It looks just fine. And super hi-tech. There are two infotainment displays, multifunctional steering wheel and just enough buttons, to aid the driver in any road situation. What I personally do not like, though, is the addition of cheap-looking plastic onto several places in the cabin.

    However, also a notable feature is the new kind of seat configuration: there are three matching, separate folding seats in the second row that can be adjusted in length and inclination. Also, there are two removable separate folding seats in the third row. And last, but not least, there is a total of 1060 liters of luggage capacity.

    2017 PEUGEOT 5008

    In terms of comfort and pleasure, PEUGEOT team has done some good job with sound insulation and also added some sweet goodies: optional multipoint massage system for the front body-hugging front seats, FOCAL premium Hi-Fi system, panoramic glass roof, Mirror Screen Function and 3D connected navigation system.

    SEE ALSO: PEUGEOT 2008: what should we expect? Or, more correctly, what should we NOT expect

    The assistance functions also contribute to that feeling of comfort and pleasure. Buyers will be granted with Advanced Grip Control, exclusive Hill Assist Descent Control, Automatic Emergency Braking System, Distance Alert, Active Lane Keeping Assistance, Driver Attention Warning, Smart Beam Assistance and Adaptive Cruise Control. Cool.

    Drivetrain system

    2017 PEUGEOT 5008

    The all-new 5008 SUV features Efficient Modular Platform 2 and the latest available Euro 6.1 engines. Customers have the choice of a diesel or petrol system and will be pleased to know that both systems offer CO2 emissions as low as 117g/km for petrol and 108g/km for diesel power units.

    So, do you like it? We think that PEUGEOT team has done a good job with this one. However a truly comprehensive review can be created when we see the vehicle rocking the streets. This will happen in Spring 2017. Meanwhile, stick with us!

  • Surprise! Lexus shows a sporty beast way ahead of official debut!

    2016 Lexus LC 500 Sports Car  - Front AnlgeLexus has just revealed a sweet-looking and powerful race car, based on the LC 500 model. The striking visuals include boldly widened fenders, massive skirts, big spoiler and rear diffuser. All this blended with just fine proportions.

    Other notable features are the weight of just 1,020kg and a powerful 2.0-liter direct-injection four-cylinder turbocharged power unit, paired to a six-speed sequential transmission system. Also, there is a sweet aerodynamic pack with light-weight components.

    2016 Lexus LC 500 Sports Car - side view

    What we don’t know, though, is vehicle’s real race capabilities. Testing is scheduled for the next month and what we do expect is some neat sprint times, agile cornering and of course, Lexus’ exclusive road confidence.

    In fact, we did like the standard LC 500 model. As usual Lexus has geared this one with tons of modern features, systems and additions that made the car pretty appealing for all brand fans out there. That’s why we expect that the sporty version will be that good and capable. However, it has became a sort of trend for car manufacturers to create sporty editions of standard models. Hopefully with Lexus it won’t be just a trend or fashion, but also a step forward into new automobile world horizons.
