Review: 2022 Peugeot 5008 1.6 THP SUV

Seven-seat SUVs are desirable, there’s no doubt about that. A glance at the local sales charts reveal that Filipinos can’t get enough of them. While the family-centric segment is still dominated by small MPVs and SUVs, further up the food chain are larger offerings such as pickup-based passenger vehicles like the Toyota Fortuner and monocoque ones like the Mazda CX-8. Right smack in this wide-ranging segment is the new Peugeot 5008.
