The Showdown: Kia EV9 vs Peugeot 5008

In the growing segment of family SUVs, the competition is fierce, and two vehicles that showcase innovation and practicality are the Kia EV9 and the Peugeot 5008. Both models have been designed to cater to the needs of modern families, but they take vastly different approaches from their powertrains to their interior configurations. Let’s delve into the details to see how they stack up against each other.

Powertrain and Performance

The Kia EV9 shines as an electric vehicle with two powertrain options: a rear-wheel drive variant producing 204 horsepower and an all-wheel drive version that elevates performance to 385 horsepower. With impressive torque ratings of 350 Nm and 700 Nm, the EV9 offers smooth acceleration, taking just 5.3 seconds to reach 100 km/h from a standstill in its more powerful configuration.

On the other hand, the Peugeot 5008 provides a range of powertrain configurations consisting of petrol MHEV, plugin hybrid, and fully electric capabilities. The most potent engine option delivers up to 231 horsepower with a 0-100 km/h time of around 8.8 seconds. While the EV9 dominates in pure electric performance, the flexibility of engine types in the 5008 caters to a broader audience looking for different fuel options, including hybrids for better efficiency.

Efficiency and Range

When it comes to efficiency, the Kia EV9 boasts consumption figures averaging between 20.2 to 22.8 kWh/100 km, achieving a substantial electric range of up to 563 km on a single charge, depending on the configuration. This makes it suitable for both daily commutes and longer family road trips.

The Peugeot 5008, while also efficient, offers lower electric consumption of around 17.8 to 18.2 kWh/100 km with an electric range that can reach up to 664 km when equipped with the largest battery option (96.9 kWh). This advantage in range makes the 5008 a tempting choice for those looking to minimize stops during long travels.

Interior Space and Comfort

In contrast, the Peugeot 5008, which exclusively seats 7 passengers, provides an impressive trunk capacity of 748 liters. This expansive space is designed for families who need that extra room for strollers, sports equipment, or luggage, reinforcing its practicality.
