Intelligent Vehicle Finance arranges Peugeot 5008 business and personal leasing. Choose this seven-seat SUV around the people you carry, the luggage left behind the third row and your charging routine. Hybrid, plug-in hybrid and electric versions need different checks; confirm the exact derivative and funder terms before deciding.
A third row only adds value if the rest of the car still works when you use it. The 5008 is worth considering for school journeys that occasionally become seven-person trips, or for a business driver whose car must accommodate the family at weekends. Start your test drive with everyone in their usual seat. Check access to the back, the effort needed to fold seats and where the luggage goes once those seats are occupied.
Our view is that the useful choice is between passenger flexibility and the footprint you will live with every day. If five seats cover virtually all journeys, the 3008 deserves a direct comparison. If seven seats and substantial luggage are needed together every week, inspect the 5008 with that exact load before selecting it. A photograph of an empty cabin cannot answer whether your pushchair, bags and passengers fit simultaneously.
Peugeot 5008 and two alternatives: choosing by use
| Model | Reason to consider it | Decision to make |
|---|---|---|
| Peugeot 5008 | Seven-seat flexibility with several propulsion choices | Test luggage space with the third row occupied |
| Peugeot 3008 | A five-seat Peugeot alternative | Decide whether you would use the extra row |
| Vauxhall Grandland | A different five-seat family SUV | Compare seating position and controls on a test drive |
These are different vehicle choices, not equivalent offers. Confirm the exact specification and contract terms before comparing quotations.
The live IVF grid checked on 28 September 2026 includes Hybrid 145, older Hybrid 136 descriptions, plug-in hybrid 195 and 225 descriptions, plus electric entries labelled 157kW 73kWh, 170kW Long Range 97kWh and 239kW Dual Motor 73kWh. It also mixes Allure, Allure Premium, GT, GT Premium and a Launch Edition label. This is a catalogue snapshot, not evidence that every version remains in Peugeot’s current UK range.
Peugeot’s current UK model page describes Hybrid 145 and Plug-in Hybrid 195, alongside E-5008. The 136 and 225 catalogue labels therefore require model-year confirmation before quotation; do not transfer the current page’s equipment or emissions to those rows. Likewise, an NI suffix is a reason to clarify market specification and registration, not a new trim benefit. Ask IVF to put the exact vehicle description on the proposal.
Choose the non-plug-in Hybrid around journeys where stopping for fuel fits naturally and regular charging would be difficult. The plug-in hybrid deserves consideration when you can charge repeatedly between ordinary trips. The E-5008 needs a workable charging plan for both everyday travel and the longer journey with a full cabin. Picking the propulsion first makes the subsequent equipment comparison much clearer.
Make a short checklist before comparing Allure and GT equipment. It might include the camera view needed for your driveway, the seat adjustments shared drivers require, heating for early starts and whether a powered tailgate helps when your hands are full. Ask which items are standard on the actual derivative. A trim name that appears on two different powertrains or model years does not settle that question.
Measure your usual luggage against the space with the relevant seats upright. Seats-down capacity answers a different question. Roof boxes and cycle carriers can help with occasional travel, but their approved fitment, load limits and effect on energy use need checking. They also add equipment to remove or return correctly at the end of the agreement. Specify that requirement before settling on a car.
For the electric 5008, the manufacturer distinguishes the standard battery, long-range battery and dual-motor variants. A larger battery or an additional motor is not an automatic improvement for your use: compare the charging opportunities, wheel specification and load you will actually carry. This page deliberately makes no single driving-range promise for all the different catalogue rows.
Plot one ordinary week and one demanding trip. If most energy can be added where the car already parks, an electric 5008 may fit without a separate weekly charging journey. If you would depend on a public charger, check its location, access hours and an alternative nearby. For a family trip, plan stops around passengers as well as the battery, and allow a margin for cold weather, traffic diversions and luggage.
The plug-in hybrid needs a different habit. Petrol provides flexibility for longer travel, but keeping the battery charged is central to using its electric capability. A laboratory fuel-consumption figure is not a forecast for a car repeatedly driven with a depleted battery. Tell IVF if the driver cannot charge at home or work, so the shortlist reflects that constraint from the start.
Peugeot publishes a separate traction-battery warranty and a manufacturer vehicle warranty. The electric model page states eight years or 100,000 miles for the battery; that does not mean every component has identical cover. Any additional Peugeot Care protection has its own eligibility and servicing conditions. Have the retailer identify the supplied car’s warranty start date, applicable cover and maintenance requirements in writing.
When requesting a 5008 quotation, give IVF the number of seats you need to use together, normal and occasional luggage, annual mileage and charging access. Include any non-negotiable equipment and whether you are comparing business or personal contract hire. Ask how changes in vehicle tax are handled through the term. The live grid shows prices, while a matched proposal explains what those prices cover for your vehicle and circumstances.
The 5008’s three propulsion routes create different tax questions. E-5008 uses the zero-emission path. The Hybrid depends on certified CO2. Peugeot’s current plug-in hybrid page quotes emissions above 50 g/km, so a lower PHEV band requires an eligible registration and the HMRC easement conditions; it must never be assumed from the badge.
For private availability to an employee or director, P11D multiplied by the annual BiK percentage gives the starting taxable benefit; personal tax then depends on income tax rate and adjustments. Sole traders follow different rules.
Company-car BiK benchmarks, 2026/27 to 2029/30
| Tax specification | 2026/27 | 2027/28 | 2028/29 | 2029/30 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Zero-emission battery-electric car | 4% | 5% | 7% | 9% |
| Eligible PHEV, 1-50 g/km and 40-69 certified electric miles | 10% | 11% | 18% | 19% |
| Petrol/hybrid at 125-129 g/km | 31% | 31% | 32% | 33% |
| Petrol/hybrid at 130-134 g/km | 32% | 32% | 33% | 34% |
These are conditional tax bands, not assigned rates for every Peugeot 5008. Confirm the supplied car’s P11D, certified CO2, fuel type and registration date. Diesel supplements can apply where the required emissions certification is absent, subject to the annual maximum.
The electric-mile figures above are HMRC band thresholds, not promises of this car’s driving range. Newer plug-in hybrid certification can show more than 50 g/km. A temporary company-car easement may treat an eligible car as 1 g/km where the registration date, electric range and Euro-status conditions are met; it is not automatic and must not be transferred to lease-rental deductions. Check the vehicle documents and HMRC’s plug-in hybrid conditions with your accountant.
Use our company-car BiK guide alongside HMRC’s 2026/27 and 2027/28 tables and the published 2028/29 and 2029/30 changes. Checked 28 September 2026 against the C1 ledger and primary sources. Individual circumstances matter; tax can change. Consult your accountant.
Vehicle Excise Duty (VED). In 2026/27, annual VED after year one is £200 before any supplement. First-year tax follows certified CO2; zero-emission cars pay £10. These are current cash rates, not confirmed future-year amounts. Ask how the funder handles later increases.
Expensive Car Supplement. The 2026/27 supplement is £440 annually for five years from the second licence. It applies above a pre-discount list price of £40,000 for petrol, diesel and hybrids, or £50,000 for qualifying zero-emission cars registered from 1 April 2025. Include relevant options and check registration. Check GOV.UK vehicle-tax rules.
Planned eVED. Government plans eVED alongside VED from April 2028: 3p per mile for electric cars and 1.5p for plug-in hybrids. It is not currently in force and remains subject to legislation and implementation. CPI uprating is planned from 2029/30; later cash rates are unconfirmed. Ask the funder how introduction and increases would affect your agreement. Read the consultation response.
VAT-registered businesses can normally reclaim 50% of the VAT on qualifying car rentals where private use is available, depending on circumstances and the normal VAT rules. Full rental-VAT recovery requires exclusive business use with no private availability. Maintenance can fall outside the rental block when it is genuinely optional, separately described in the contract and separately quantified on the invoice; recovery remains subject to normal VAT rules. Read HMRC’s motoring VAT guidance.
Businesses using the VAT Flat Rate Scheme do not normally recover input VAT on recurring car hire. The separate capital-goods exception does not turn hire invoices into a vehicle purchase. Check HMRC’s Flat Rate Scheme guidance.
The hire-cost rules normally disallow 15% of otherwise deductible rentals for cars above 50 g/km, subject to their scope and exceptions. A company-car BiK easement does not establish relief from this restriction. Check HMRC’s car-hire deduction rules.
For accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2026, revised FRS 102 generally requires a right-of-use asset and lease liability for lessees, including small companies using Section 1A. FRS 105 lease accounting for eligible micro-entities was not changed in the same way. Contract hire therefore does not universally keep a car off the balance sheet. Ask your accountant to apply the right framework; HMRC summarises the accounting standards.
Tell IVF your annual mileage, regular passengers, essential equipment, charging access where relevant and preferred timing. Ask for the precise model year, derivative, options and registration status to be written into the quotation. The catalogue is a starting point; the offered vehicle and funder terms need confirmation.
Business Contract Hire is taken by the business; Personal Contract Hire is taken by the private individual. Both are subject to status and individual funder criteria. Compare the initial rental, term, mileage, maintenance and applicable fees on the same basis. An initial rental is part of the hire cost, not refundable security or ownership equity.
A manufacturer warranty starts under the supplied car’s warranty terms, normally from first registration. Its time and mileage limits may finish before your lease does. It is separate from optional servicing and tyre cover. Confirm maintenance inclusions, insurance responsibilities, tax provisions and early-termination terms before signing.
At the end of contract hire, return the vehicle; there is no contractual purchase option. Excess mileage, damage beyond the funder’s fair wear and tear standard, missing equipment or other contractual charges may still be payable. Check the return process before choosing your agreement.
Use Peugeot leasing, Peugeot 3008 leasing, Vauxhall Grandland leasing, company-car tax guide, electric car leasing to narrow your choice or discuss a quotation.
Peugeot UK lists seven seats as standard for the current 5008 family. Try third-row access and luggage space with all the seats you need in use. Check child-seat positions and suitability for your passengers against the supplied car’s handbook.
IVF can discuss a business contract hire quotation for the exact 5008 required, subject to status, availability and funder criteria. Start with passenger needs and propulsion; then compare mileage, term, equipment and the employee’s tax position on the same basis.
The E-5008 is fully electric. The wider 5008 family also includes a non-plug-in Hybrid and a plug-in hybrid. The model name alone does not identify the charging requirement, so check the complete derivative on the quotation.
Those labels appear in the captured IVF catalogue, while Peugeot’s UK model page checked on 28 September 2026 describes Hybrid 145 and Plug-in Hybrid 195. Ask for model-year and powertrain confirmation; current specifications cannot automatically be applied to those other rows.
Choose between them by the passenger and luggage arrangement you actually need. The 5008’s third row is its central distinction. If five places cover your journeys, test the 3008 alongside it rather than assuming a larger body will be more useful.
No. Peugeot distinguishes standard-range, long-range and dual-motor versions. The catalogue includes 73kWh and 97kWh labels. Confirm battery, motor arrangement, wheels and model year together; neither charging performance nor driving range should be copied between variants.
It may be workable if another reliable charging location fits your routine. Explain where you would charge and how often. If regular charging is impractical, compare the non-plug-in Hybrid before choosing a plug-in model on an assumed fuel-saving case.
Peugeot states eight years or 100,000 miles for the E-5008 traction battery, subject to conditions. Confirm when cover starts, which battery terms apply and the vehicle warranty separately. Servicing and optional maintenance are different from defect cover.
The selected powertrain, equipment, contract length, annual mileage, initial rental and funder terms all affect the quotation. The grid provides a starting point; ask IVF for an itemised proposal using the same assumptions for each car you compare.
Yes. A multi-year agreement can span different BiK percentages and vehicle-tax charges. Compare the relevant powertrain’s annual path, confirm the actual P11D and certified emissions, and ask your accountant to assess the employee and business positions separately.
