Peugeot 3008 Review
The Peugeot 3008 has always been attractively styled, but it's had a series of tight and near for 2021 to help you separate it from the Toyota Rush, Mitsubishi Xpander, and Nissan Qashqai.
The previous Peugeot 3008 featured a pretty traditional front grille, but this new model has a sweeping array of square chrome trim that runs from one headlight to the other. There are also two new vertical daytime running lights on higher-spec automobiles, similar to the ones found on the new Peugeot 2008.
The inside is reminiscent of the old Peugeot 3008, although that's not always bad. It has one of the most interesting-looking cabins of any SUV, and the craftsmanship is equally as good as the design. A 12-inch digital driver's display replaces the traditional instrument panel in front of the driver. However, except for the entry-level Active, all versions get a 10-inch central infotainment screen rather than the old car's 8-inch system.
Performance
The Peugeot 3008 is built on the PSA EMP2 platform, which is shared by the automaker's partners and other cars. The 3008 has a smooth ride because it has a front pseudo-MacPherson suspension and a rear axle with a deformable cross member. The vented front discs and solid rear discs provide stopping force. The Peugeot 3008 is powered by a 1.6-liter twin-scroll high-pressure turbocharged gasoline engine that produces 167 horsepower and 240 Nm torque. A 6-speed automatic transmission sends power to the front wheels.
Exterior
The Peugeot 3008 has a rugged exterior appearance, with powerful halogen headlights on either side, complemented by sharp angular LED daytime running lights. It also has a massive grille with the brand's logo in the center. Its squarer tailgate, which has a distinctive set of rectangular LED taillights, bears the same bold and angular front design language as the vehicle's more aggressive and angular front design language. The car is outfitted with 18-inch wheels encased in 225/55 series tires. Other exterior highlights for the 3008 include front and rear time-adjustable intermittent wipers, halogen fog lights, body-color door handles, side mirrors, and a rear spoiler.
Interior
The Peugeot 3008 has a futuristic-looking interior thanks to the location of its massive 8-inch infotainment system, which includes a 6-speaker sound system and digital gauges. Claudia leather mistral seats with GOA stitching, a power-adjustable driver's seat, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel with multi-function controls and paddle shifters are standard on the 1.6 Active models. Other inside amenities for the 3008 include automated, and bi-zone diffusion air conditioning with sensitive controls, USB ports, and 12-volt plugs strategically positioned around the cabin.
Safety
The Peugeot 3008 is well-equipped in terms of safety measures. It contains four airbags, two of which are for the front passengers, and the other two are situated around the sides of the vehicle. In addition, it comes with ABS with EBD, ISOFIX tethers, an electronic stability program, hill start assist, hill descent control, cruise control, and seat belts all around as standard. It also includes a tire pressure monitoring system as standard equipment.
