The outgoing Peugeot 3008 sold well enough, but had a bit of identity problem. It was not certain whether it was an MPV or a crossover, it was certainly uncomfortable.
Fast lead up to now and Peugeot is no doubt what the new 3008 is because of every reference of ‘SUV’ – and it certainly looks from the part.
In a fall, the designers of Peugeot created one of the most striking cars in his class.
Clobble, well proportioned, aggressive and with one of the most striking back gaps on the market, it is certainly a candidate for the back of the year.
However, it is not just the dramatic exterior of the new 3008 – there is a touch of magic inside.
The car has Peugeot’s i-cockpit with an 8-inch touchscreen in the center console and an instrument field of the 12.3-inch driver.
I-Cockpit is also not just the eye feast-it is a stylish, futuristic infotainment system with liquid, colorful graphics in a cabin that is cool and individual.
There is also a lot of thought about it. For example, the 8-inch screen can be fully navigated by touching, but Peugeot also found telephone, for example.
Just like other recent Peugeot, the 3008 now has a small steering wheel, although this top and flat edges at the bottom contains. Apparently this is for “better grip”, although it is probably also helping to see the 12.3 instrument panel in a setback.
The “heads -up” distribution can be fully configured by turning and clicking on the left button on the steering wheel, so that the view can concentrate on navigation or dials, for example.
As an option, it is also possible to further improve the driving experience with i-cockpit reinforcement with treatments, from ambient lighting options to flavors to a fragrance diffuser.
In short, the cabin is a state -of -the -art, spacious and comfortable place to be a solid, high -quality feeling.
With a longer wheelbase and a total length, which is only 80 mm longer than the current model, while the rear occupants now have additional 24 -mm leg freedom, 4 -mm -llbow room and 36 -mm head freedom.
The luggage compartment also improved with a capacity of 520 liters (90 liters larger than the outgoing model) or 1,670 liters with the rear seats.
The new 3008 is equipped with the admirable area of Peugeot of fuel-efficient petrol and diesel engines, including the 1.2-liter pureetech 130 petrol with CO2 emissions of only 115 g/km and a larger 1.6-liter unit .
The available diesel engines comprise a 100PS 1.6-liter bluehdi, which is capable of 70.6 MPG with CO2 emissions of only 103 g/km and a strong 180 hp 2.0-liter for the flagship 3008 GT.
The 3008 SUV range starts at 21,795 GBP and increases to 32,995 GBP. Unfortunately, no gasoline versions were available, although the 1.2-liter three-cylinder turbo petrol unit in other cars, which I drove through the Peugeot/Citroen/DS areas, caused a delicacy.
My choice of the engine, which gives a decent mix of business and performance, would be the 120 hp 1.6-liter diesel, which is probably also the largest seller. 11.2 seconds to reach 62 miles per hour, it can be 70.6 MPG with CO2 emissions of 104 g/km to earn the road tax only 20 GBP as part of the current system.
Price of £ 21.110, there are four equipment variant (active, allure, GT line and GT) and everyone unlocks more delicacies, but attraction is sufficient for most. Nevertheless, I would definitely choose the panorama sliding roof and the adaptive speed control.
If you live somewhere with more demanding driving conditions, choose an extended grip control. The 3008 is not equipped with an option with all-wheel drive, but the grip control improves the traction of snow, mud and sand, while control of the Hill assistant reduces the risk of slip.
To be honest, the option list is huge and offers everything from additional personalization to the latest driver aids. By a little restraint, it is possible to address a decent 3008 for closer to 25,000 GBP.
The engine is a little hard at first, but soon the engine is setting up with a six-speed manual transmission, and it seems to be settled soon, and it seems when the numbers suggest.
With an commanding driving position and good visibility, the journey is comfortable and there is well -controlled bodies that support themselves in corners and give an appealing journey. However, if you want to have a service, then choose the GT.
Excellent, but the 3008 is located in a very competitive sector, which recently appeared on the ATECA and Volkswagen Tiguan market square as well as the Nissan Qashqai, Ford Kuga and Renault Kadjar.
However, think about what is available for the 3008 in pricing – you may be surprised. For example, as well as the i-cockpit, the warning system and autonomous emergency braking in the entire area is standard.
Verdict: The 3008 SUV is a car that is transformed and continues the Peugeot Renaissance. It is not only good-looking, noble, well built, practical and safe, but the addition of i-cockpit makes it a real game changer.
