A fresh batch of spy photos provides our latest look at what appears to be the upcoming Peugeot E-5008 electric SUV. The model may arrive next year but definitely launches by 2025 as part of the French brand’s electric vehicle strategy.<\/p>\n
Compared to other spy shots of the new 5008, this one has a closed-off front end rather than an open grille. This is a design cue we commonly see on EVs because they have different cooling needs than combustion-powered vehicles. There are skinny headlights just beneath the edge of the hood.<\/p>\n

The SUV’s overall aesthetic appears to be boxy. There are sharp edges on the front corners. The developers appear to put a concealment panel on the rear to hide the actual shape back there. No exhaust pipes are visible at the tail.<\/p>\n
The profile view shows that the nose is blunt and has a short front overhang. The Peugeot rides on odd-looking wheels that don’t have traditional spokes but instead asymmetrical openings.<\/p>\n

The images above show the combustion-powered 5008. It looks largely identical to the E-5008 in the latest photos. They even have similar wheel designs.<\/p>\n
We don’t have any images inside the\u00a05008 or\u00a0E-5008. They would reportedly be optional with a third row of seats. The latest Peugeots like the E-3008 have a wide screen on top of the dashboard and lots of angular styling cues.<\/p>\n
In January, Peugeot offered some details about its future electrified vehicles. A mild-hybrid-equipped combustion engine would be available in the 5008. The company is developing a 156-hp electric motor for the upcoming\u00a0E-308 and E-308 SW. It would allegedly provide 248 miles of range in the WLTP cycle. There’s also a setup coming to the E-3008 providing up to 434 miles of driving distance.<\/p>\n
Peugeot plans to have EVs available across its lineup by 2025. The automaker intends to sell only EVs in Europe by 2030.<\/p>\n
