The very first Spy Shots of the upcoming China-spec Peugeot 5008 GT Line, the sporty
variant of the Peugeot 5008 SUV. It comes with a different
bumper, bigger wheels, black pillars and a black roof. The 5008 GT Line will hit the Chinese auto market in June.
The base car with less exciting looks, as so far a
barge-like seven-seat SUV can be exciting. The base 5008 will have its
China-debut on the Shanghai Auto Show next month and launch soon thereafter.
The 5008 is basically a long-wheelbase version of
the Peugeot 3008, which is called 4008 in China, because Peugeot
still sells another 3008
here. All these Peugeots are manufactured by the long running Dongfeng-PSA joint venture.
The 5008 will be available with two engines, a 167 hp
1.6 turbo and a 204 hp 1.6 turbo, both mated to a six-speed automatic ‘box. Dimension size is 4670/1855/1655 mm, and wheelbase is 2840, 110 mm longer than the 3008/4008.
