Is the Peugeot 5008 fuel-consuming?
2 Answers
The Peugeot 5008 is fuel-consuming. According to user feedback on actual fuel consumption, the Peugeot 5008 1.6T model has an average combined fuel consumption of 9.7L/100km, while the 1.8T model averages 9.4L/100km. Driving Habits: Personal driving skills significantly impact a car's fuel consumption. For short trips of just a few kilometers, due to the mechanical design characteristics of the vehicle, it takes some time of operation to reach optimal efficiency. If the car is only driven for a few kilometers each time without fully warming up, high fuel consumption is inevitable. Road Conditions: Road condition factors include whether the road is smooth, the level of friction, the steepness of slopes, and whether there is traffic congestion. Generally, routes with many sharp turns and frequent use of brakes will result in much higher fuel consumption. During peak commuting hours in the morning and evening, it's common to encounter situations where you can only travel a few kilometers in an hour. Under such severe traffic congestion, fuel consumption can be more than three times higher than during smooth traffic conditions.
I've been driving the Peugeot 5008 for over a year now, and I feel its fuel consumption is quite reasonable for an SUV. During daily city commutes with heavy traffic, it can reach around 10 liters per 100 kilometers, while on the highway, it drops to about 8 liters. Of course, it's a bit more fuel-consuming compared to some fuel-efficient sedans, but it offers more space and comfort. With good driving habits, such as avoiding sudden acceleration and hard braking, you can save a bit more on fuel. A friend who also drives the same model has similar feedback, and he recommends regular maintenance, like changing the oil and filters, to maintain efficiency. Fuel consumption increases slightly in winter when using the air conditioning. Overall, it's not particularly fuel-thirsty and is more suitable for family use.
