Recently, the ADAC has published a vehicle test of the new 5008 with the 2.0 BlueHDi 150 ( ). Some test results are difficult to understand. I would like to comment here on two points on the topic “everyday suitability”, in which the 5008 should be very negative and which lead to a devaluation: On vehicle width: the information is correct – almost. The vehicle width incl. exterior mirror is according to research in the net 2.098mm. This cannot be discussed much. But let’s compare: i m ADAC test of the current Tiguan ( ) the ADAC measures a vehicle width incl. exterior mirror of 2.115mm. However, this is not negatively evaluated at the point “everyday suitability”, but only finds a short mention in the introduction to the point: Quotation: Compared to the predecessor, the Tiguan has become seven centimeters wider and now measures from exterior mirror to exterior mirror 2.12 meters. Thus it can become quite tight in garages or parking garages. The AdBlue tank: I don’t know where the ADAC has the indication of 10 liters. In the operating instructions of the 5008 the AdBlue system is briefly described and there is a 17 liter capacity. I asked for the safety extra at Peugeot and they confirmed the 17 liters. But even if the 10 liters were correct, one should have stated for the sake of completeness at the ADAC that the 5008 was equipped with a separate tank socket. For AdBlue, next to that for diesel. So even if you had to refuel more often, this would be easy to do. As a comparison: When testing the Tiguan with SCR catalyst, the ADAC does not specify the tank size. A research in the net has shown that the tank size should be about 12 litres. Also interesting again, that this tank size does not lead to a devaluation. In the chapter Pollutants the 5008 gets even very bad notes, since the actually measured NOx values very The ADAC of course does not present a measured value. And the Tiguan gets even best values due to the SCR catalyst in the chapter Pollutants.
