| Gearbox: | Automatic | Automatic | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Engine: | 1.6 Diesel | 2.0 Petrol | |
| Diesel (Peugeot 5008) engines typically outperform gasoline engines in terms of fuel efficiency and low-end torque. This makes them more economical and better suited for towing or long-distance travel. However, gasoline (Subaru Forester) engines mostly are lighter, quieter, and offer better acceleration and responsiveness, especially in smaller vehicles. For more information, see the article "Diesel or Petrol: Fuel Economy and Key Differences." | |||
| Camshaft drive: | Timing belt | Timing chain | |
| Timing belt usually needs to be replaced more often than the chain, but it is usually significantly cheaper. Timing belt motors are generally quieter and less vibrating than chain motors. | |||

Drive type | |||
| Wheel drive type: | Front wheel drive (FWD) | All wheel drive (AWD, 4x4) | |
| Ground clearance: | 236 mm (9.3 inches) | 220 mm (8.7 inches) | |
| Because of the higher ground clearance, Peugeot 5008 can perform better on bad roads - it can go over higher obstacles and bumps. At the same time, the higher ground clearance can reduce stability and handling on paved roads, especially at higher speeds. Note, however, that this Peugeot 5008 version does not have 4x4 drive, which is very important in poor road conditions. | |||
Engines | |||
| Average engine lifespan: | 300'000 km | 350'000 km | |
| Engine resource depends largely on regular maintenance and the quality of the oils and fuels used, but under equal conditions the average life of a Subaru Forester engine could be longer. | |||
| Engine production duration: | 12 years | 16 years | |
| Engine spread: | Installed on at least 11 other car models, including Peugeot 308, Citroen C4, Peugeot 3008, Citroen Berlingo, Opel Grandland | Used also on Subaru XV | |
