Renault Espace 2015 vs Peugeot 5008 2017
| Body: | Minivan / MPV | Crossover / SUV | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 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. | |||
| Gearbox: | Automatic | Automatic | |
| Engine: | 1.6 Diesel | 1.6 Petrol | |
| Diesel (Renault Espace) 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 (Peugeot 5008) engines mostly are lighter, quieter, and offer better acceleration and responsiveness, especially in smaller vehicles.

| Ground clearance: | 160 mm (6.3 inches) | 236 mm (9.3 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. | |||
