This lightly updated version of the second generation Peugeot 3008 gains 48V mild hybrid tech and continues to be an appealing option for family buyers in the mid-sized SUV sector. Jonathan Crouch takes a look.
Ten Second Review
In you’re shopping amongst volume brand models at the upper end of the mid-sized SUV segment, Peugeot’s 3008 SUV is one of the cars you’ll need to seriously consider. The second generation version we first saw in 2017 has been lightly updated in recent times, most notably with 48V mild hybrid engine tech for the base petrol variant most customers choose. As before, smart looks clothe familiar attributes like a large, versatile boot and a quality cabin. You have to really want a car of this kind to really appreciate it but if you do, then you’ll probably like this one a lot. There’s near-premium pricing though, particularly for the clever Hybrid PHEV Plug-in models that top the range.
Background
Any car maker wanting to develop, build and sell a Crossover SUV in today’s crowded market knows that the product concerned is really going to have to stand out. There are, after all, so many brands jostling for space in this segment. Has this improved version of Peugeot’s second generation 3008 model got what it takes?
This 3008 sits in the middle of Peugeot’s SUV line-up, just above the supermini-based 2008 and just below the larger and more luxurious seven-seat 5008. Whereas the first generation 3008 competed directly against the most affordable Nissan Qashqai and SEAT Ateca-shaped mid-sized SUVs, this MK2 model, first launched in 2017, was moved a little more up-market to compete with slightly larger and more sophisticated mid-sized models like Volkswagen’s Tiguan, Ford’s Kuga and the Mazda CX-5. It shares its EMP2 chassis and engineering with the Stellantis Group’s other mid-sized SUVs, the Citroen C5 Aircross, the Vauxhall Grandland and the DS 7.

PEUGEOT had a great line of cars, all three 2008, 3008 and 5008 are gorgeous models, with decent engines, good quality materials and smart innovations.
And then they went on and shot themselves in the foot.
By forcing (and keeping!) that idiotic iCockpit that is viewed OVER the steering wheel, not only they lost a good portion of their potential buyers (if over 6 ft/1.80m or even slightly overweight, the steering wheel is annoyingly too low), but it also made it very hard for all potential drivers to find a comfortable driving position, if they want to be able to see their cockpit.
Beautiful looking car from the outside. But the petrol engine failing in droves due to belt disintegration. The interior is just not going to last the distance imo. I was a passenger in a diesel recently and was very refined in all areas. I’d take a vitara over this for longevity and reliability even though peugeot is gorgeous
