What Happened
Peugeot has introduced the E-5008 Dog Edition Concept, a unique SUV designed from a dog's perspective. Developed with Stellantis Design Studio, the concept aims to make travel more enjoyable for canine companions. According to an IFOP survey, 64% of dog owners plan to go on holiday with their dog, and over six in ten consider it a deciding factor when choosing a destination.
The cabin features a color palette inspired by canine vision, combining soothing blue and stimulating yellow, along with soft non-slip materials. A modular mattress serves as a boot liner, rear seat cover, or outdoor bed, and even transforms into a dog bed at the destination. The Window Headrest allows dogs to rest their heads while enjoying the view.
The concept also includes tech features: navigation that suggests charging stations near parks or walking areas, Dog Guardian Mode to monitor cabin temperature and alert owners if a dog is left alone, and a Dog Retriever function that emits a sound to call a lost dog back and recognize it upon return. Accessories include a connected harness, integrated bowls, and a V2L-powered pet dryer.
“It was the first time I had to see the world from a dog's perspective in order to design a car. As a dog carer myself, this project was as unusual as it was inspiring. It encouraged us to rethink every detail through the eyes of those who share our everyday adventures.”
