Peugeot 5008 II Technical Specifications

Hello and welcome. In this post we gather the technical specifications for the Peugeot 5008 II (2017-present). We'll look at engine and gearbox data, towed loads and nose weights, hybrid motor and battery details, dimensions, identification markings and the safety points for towing a trailer.

Quick Reference

Engine technical data and towed loads

Your car's engine characteristics are given in the vehicle's registration document and in sales brochures. The tables show the values published for these versions. For any missing values, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.

The maximum power figure is the value type-approved on a test bed, as defined by Regulation EU 715/2007.

The weights and towed loads for your car are shown on the registration document, in sales brochures and on the manufacturer's plate or label. Keep these points in mind:

• Altitude: the GTW (Gross Train Weight) and towed load values are valid up to a maximum altitude of 1,000 metres. Reduce the towed load by 10% for each additional 1,000 metres of altitude.
• Nose weight: the maximum authorised nose weight is the weight permitted on the towball.

Follow these safety warnings when towing:

• Hot weather: in high exterior temperatures, the car's performance may be limited to protect the engine. When the exterior temperature is higher than 37°C, reduce the towed weight.
• Road holding: towing can affect your car's road holding, even when the car itself is lightly loaded.
• Braking: braking distances are longer when you are towing a trailer.
• Speed: never exceed 62 mph (100 km/h) when towing, and always follow the local legislation in force.

Engines and towed loads - Petrol

Here are the 5008 figures for the petrol engines listed below. All of them run on unleaded fuel. The braked trailer figures apply within the GTW limit, on a 10% or 12% gradient.

The 1,350 kg braked trailer figure for the 5008 THP 165 is marked with an asterisk. If you are not sure which figure applies to your car, check your registration document or ask a PEUGEOT dealer.

Engines and towed loads, BlueHDi Diesel

One BlueHDi Diesel engine is listed below. These are the 5008 figures:

Engines and towed loads - Hybrid

The HYBRID 136 e-DCS6 (codes EB2LTDH2 EDCT6, 5008 model code HPYE/S) combines a petrol engine with an electric motor and a traction battery.

Dimensions (mm)

5008 dimensions are measured in millimetres. These dimensions were measured on an unladen vehicle, so the figures will change once your car is loaded.

Identification markings

Your car carries several visible markings for identification and vehicle search:

• A. VIN under the bonnet: the Vehicle Identification Number is stamped on the chassis.
• B. VIN on the dashboard: printed on an adhesive label that you can see through the windscreen.
• C. Manufacturer's label: fixed to the right-hand door.
• D. Tyres/paint code label: fixed to the driver's door.

The manufacturer's label shows:

• Manufacturer's name.
• European whole vehicle type approval number.
• Vehicle Identification Number (VIN).
• Gross vehicle weight (GVW).
• Gross train weight (GTW).
• Maximum weight on the front axle.
• Maximum weight on the rear axle.

The tyres/paint code label shows:

• Tyre pressures, unladen and laden.
• Tyre specification: dimensions and type, plus the load and speed indices.
• Spare tyre inflation pressure.
• Paint colour code.

Your car may leave the factory with tyres that have higher load and speed indices than those shown on the label. This does not affect the tyre pressures (on cold tyres). If you change the type of tyres, contact a PEUGEOT dealer for the tyre fits approved for your car.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much can a Peugeot 5008 tow?

It depends on the engine. For example, the 5008 PureTech 180 S&S EAT8 can tow a 1,400 kg braked trailer and the BlueHDi 130 S&S EAT8 can tow 1,200 kg, within the GTW limit. Your exact figures are also on your registration document and the manufacturer's plate or label.

What is the maximum nose weight on a Peugeot 5008?

The maximum nose weight is 72 kg for the 5008 petrol and BlueHDi Diesel versions, and 70 kg for the HYBRID 136 version. This is the weight permitted on the towball.

Where is the VIN on a Peugeot 5008?

The VIN is stamped on the chassis under the bonnet and printed on a label you can see through the windscreen. It is also shown on the manufacturer's label on the right-hand door.

Where are the tyre pressures on a Peugeot 5008?

They are on the tyres/paint code label on the driver's door. The label shows unladen and laden pressures, the spare tyre pressure and the paint colour code.

Keep these figures in mind before you hitch up a trailer, and always check your own car's registration document and labels for the exact values. If anything is missing or unclear, a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop can confirm the figures for your 5008.
