Peugeot 5008 2017 vs Renault Espace 2015
| Body: | Crossover / SUV | Minivan / MPV | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Crossovers and SUVs have better off-road capabilities (higher ground clearance, can have 4x4 drive), they are preferable for driving on unpaved roads and rural areas. Also, the driver's seating position is higher in a crossover or SUVs, which provides better visibility also in city. This usually comes at the cost of higher fuel consumption, increased weight and higher maintenance costs. | |||

| Ground clearance: | 236 mm (9.3 inches) | 160 mm (6.3 inches) | |
| Because of the higher ground clearance, Peugeot 5008 can perform better on bad roads - it can go over higher obstacles and bumps.
