The Peugeot 5008 is proving itself abroad as well as in Britain. Winning the Continental Irish Family Car of the Year (2011) and (now the figures for last year's sales are in) the best selling compact seven-seater MPV, the 5008 goes from strength to strength!

The bold lines of the Peugeot 5008 have shown to be the most popular in a competitive category. Families want their children to be safe, secure, comfortable; all whilst sitting from a raised seating position and expecting performance. The 5008 took a 28% share of the market in 2011 and expectations are that this figure will increase throughout 2012.

The highly regarded compact MPV shows that a highly versatile family vehicle needn't be an ugly box on wheels.  With three ISOFIX child seat fixtures (perfect for families with more than one small child), curtain airbags and a three-row seating arrangement, the 5008 manages to offer peace of mind for the parents up-front.  The driver and front passenger is even well catered for as ABS, ESP, ASR, electronic brake distribution, airbags, automatic electric parking brake and hill-start assist can all be included in the price.

The Peugeot 5008 offers a sizable 2,506 litres of boot space (when all seats are folded flat) and a collection of extras you would expect from a first-class cabin, including: heads-up display, all leather upholstery, twin TV screens for the rear headrests (with wireless headphones) and a large panoramic glass roof.

Des Cannon (Peugeot's sales and marketing director) claimed "the multi-award winning Peugeot 5008, the new benchmark for compact seven-seater cars in Ireland, attracted many new customers to the Peugeot brand in 2011, looking for a stylish, economical and practical solution to family motoring. We're delighted with this strong sales performance and look forward to further success in 2012".

Prices for the Peugeot 5008 start from as low as £18,145 (for the Access 1.6 VTi).
