Lets chat about safety. Something all parents think about for their bubs.

The Peugeot comes with all the usual features like emergency braking, anti-lock braking, lane keep assist, blind spot detection and stability control amongst many others.

There are a couple of features that I particularly like.

First is the curtain airbags for both rows of rear seats.

Second is automatic hazard light activation under heavy braking. It lets the drivers behind know you are stopping quickly.

Third is the Lane Departure Warning with unmarked  road edge detection. This is ideal for country roads or even some of our terrible suburban roads.

Owners should note that the third row seats are not designed to take a baby seat.

Other subtle safety features that I like are the clear reverse camera that allows excellent vision. And the headlights certainly light up the night.

One aspect we haven’t spoken about yet is the engine and performance. On paper the 1.2 litre, three cylinder turbo hybrid petrol engine may seem underpowered. However, on the Its quiet and smooth to drive and seems to scoot along nicely.

I never really noticed it wanting for performance and the economy is outstanding. I averaged around 6 litres per 100 km over the weeks I had it and that really helps with tight budgets.

Peugeot always make stylish cars and the 5008 is no exception.

It comes in two models the Allure and top spec GT Premium, which I drove.

The Allure comes well equipped. However, the GT Premium has all the little extra luxuries like

• Leather interior
• Front seats with heating, ventilation and 10 way electric adjustment
• Rear outer seats have heating as well.
• There is a panoramic sunroof.

Two practical luxuries that I absolutely love are

• the multi point massage function for the front seats and
• The hands free electric tailgate with foot sensor opening

Perfect for when you have your arms full and need the boot opened. Every mum will appreciate these two.

Fitting the baby seat is easy with two isofix and top tether points. The rear door opens wide enough for comfortable access.

Rear seat room is a little cramped and the front passenger seat has to move forward a touch. I can sit in the back with bub, but it’s tight.

Boot space is also tight. The pram and carrier take up most of the room. There would be more room if it was a five seat version.

Next week we will chat about safety
