Fuel Efficiency and Environment

When considering fuel efficiency, the Renault Espace slightly outperforms the Peugeot 5008, especially in urban settings thanks to its hybrid system. The Espace’s lower CO2 emissions reflect its design philosophy of combining performance with environmental consciousness. However, the 5008 compensates with its hybrid options, providing a greater selection for those looking for sustainable alternatives without sacrificing power.
