Who has enough height for the it is easier to design the interior space One can heigten the floor as here in the 5008, so high, that still place is created for trays under the rear footwell, though rather a stopgap solution, perhaps suitable for emergency equipment. Also the rear seat surfaces are lifted, what they lowers when folding forward. Advantage, an absolutely flat, enormous cargo area, at need even extensible by the folded front passenger backrest (Figure 5).
The rear seats can be moved individually. Far enough forward it moves with raised seats. This also significantly facilitates the otherwise always difficult access to the optional third row of seats. Due to the increased floor their backrests have enough space during disappearance, without having to be upholstered too thin.
The rear loading sill could be even a nuance higher because of the height of the floor, because of course this height and equipment has its price, a higher weight. With the seventh and eighth seat there are still 20 to 30 kg more. There can be designed a comfortable undercarriage, which is but by no means perceived as too soft, at very slow speed and poor road even slightly rumbling.
At the engines, which should preferably be operated with diesel, there is really nothing to criticise, especially not the large. Only in terms of the payload of this abundant to be loaded car, just over 400 kg are sometimes a problem. Strange that only the larger car with a petrol engine has a significantly higher payload.
Otherwise we hope, therewith the so important rear seats are adequately described. Still to mention the full safety equipments and the video package with head restraints up front, in addition to the heads up front also protect the screens (Figure 4). Up front it is then rather normal except the lack of storage shelves and a little plastic card as a head-up display. After all, even the screen is extendible. Great, the enlargeable glass surfaces on more than 5 square metres through a fixed panoramic roof.
A car that seems rather constructed from back to front. That it's on the whole well processed and an appearance that still became more Peugeot typical with the facelift in 2013 helps in the purchase decision. Because the times of French price cutters are probably long gone. 11/15
