The Peugeot e-Traveller is not just cheaper - it also offers 1352 litres more boot space and 2 more seats (9 versus 7). On EVcarsguide's combined category scores, the Peugeot e-5008 comes out ahead overall.

The Peugeot e-Traveller is £3,605 cheaper to buy. The Peugeot e-5008 is cheaper to charge, roughly £160 a year versus £248 for the Peugeot e-Traveller, at 8,000 miles on an off-peak home tariff.

EVcarsguide estimates a real-world motorway range of about 257 miles for the Peugeot e-5008 and 160 miles for the Peugeot e-Traveller - both below their WLTP figures, because sustained high speed is the hardest case for an EV. The Peugeot e-5008 goes roughly 97 miles further between charging stops.

The two are within 25 mm on width, so neither is meaningfully easier to thread into a tight space. In a standard 2,400 mm bay that leaves about 505 mm of total clearance for the Peugeot e-5008 and about 480 mm of total clearance for the Peugeot e-Traveller. The Peugeot e-5008 also turns in a 1.2 m tighter circle, which helps with U-turns and multi-storey ramps.

Over a 8-year ownership window EVcarsguide's degradation model projects roughly 84% battery health for the Peugeot e-5008 and 84% for the Peugeot e-Traveller. That is close enough that capacity loss should not decide between them. Both use NMC-type cells, so for daily use keep the charge limit near 80% to slow degradation.
