The 5008 also comes with a whole host of tech goodies now trickling down into volume segments such as head-up display, a distance alert system, and something called Snow Motion for better traction on snowy surfaces. There are also two different navigation systems on offer here and a rear-passenger multi-media system for those long car trips with the kids.

The 5008 will have a choice of 2 petrol and 4 diesel engines.

offer three levels; Active, Sport and Exclusive. Key standard features of 5008 Active include; upto 7 Seats, Multiflex interior (Folding Seats) and Electric Handbrake. At the pinnacle of the range, 5008 Exclusive features; upto 7 seats, Head Up Display, Distance Alert, Cielo roof and
