Peugeot 3008

Having to own a Peugeot Partner for 7 yrs, i decided to get the facelifted 3008 Allure and owning it for almost 8 months, I'm pretty satisfied with this SUV. Peugeot has come a long way to be in this competitive SUV market and i can say, they have indeed improved in terms of design language and get to know and understand the needs from consumers around the world. 3008 is really handsome and handling is one of the better ones in the market for a conti. Seriously, for a 1.2T, this puretech 3cyl engine surprised me as i tght that it will be extremely underpowered and likely having vibration issue like my previous BMW F46 with a few times getting the engine mount replacement done within the 4yrs ownership. However during my test drive, this 1.2T Puretech mated with Aisin 8 speed (japan) transmission really changed my mind instantly. Engine is smooth and responsive for a 1200cc and for city driving, its more than enough. The small steering wheel with i-cockpit is amazing and kids love the sun roof. Being a rear Torsion beam setup SUV, Cornering and handling is surprisingly crisply good or i can say even much better than a lot of jap SUV and the steering feel is great and connected.

Pro:

a) The exterior and interior design

b) Very affordable roadtax

c) Good space for a 5 seater SUV

d) Extreme big center console with aircon cooling.

d) Nice 18inch alloy wheels fitted with Michelin's SUV tyres

e) Full tank can achieve 500-530km (90% city, 10% Highway)

f) Peace of mind with 5yrs warranty

g) Autofrance service advisor are helpful and knowledgeable.

Cons:

a) Expensive due to increasing COE price

b) Sad that 1.6T puretech or the mild hybrid models is not available

c) For the car price paid, Sound system is very basic 6 speaker setup and does not comes with the premium 10 speaker FOCAL premium system. However, the 3008 basic setup is slightly better than those on some jap suv.

d) No auto braking system but only warning signal at i-cockpit

e) Only 180 deg rear camera

f) My SE claimed 3008 can achieved 20km/L...Maybe 100% highway driving

Hopefully, this 3008 will last and will be as good as my Previous Peugeot Partner

Facelifted last year with a new wild look and yet still comes with an excellent and punchy drivetrain.

Do you really have to go German if you want premium?

Just got the car on National Day! So far the car is powerful with the 1.2 lit turbo engine. So far so good. Car look stunning outside. Interior wise not too bad. Nothing to complain as I did not took the higher version of the car

The Peugeot 3008 absolutely blew me away!

Looks amazing with the latest facelift, interior is very premium and much luxurious than some of the german entry level models. Drive is very smooth and the 1.2l turbo engine is surprisingly powerful. Putting aside the french brand misperceptions, the purtech engine once won engine of the year award + Japanese gearbox found in Toyota cara + long proven 3008 model (one of the best selling car in Europe) all combine to become one of the best value premium car in the market.

Bonus point: road tax is crazy cheap

The Peugeot 3008 has been updated into a rather wild thing to look at. There's a crazy smiling grille up front, with horizontal elements that spill out into the bodywork, and a handsome tailgate at the rear, with very expressive tiger claw taillights.

Car is great for a start.

Collected my car for 1 month and FC range from 14-15km/l

Quiet and comfort and the damper works well especially around my area.

I like the space of the boot that allow me to put 2 foldie for a short trip with my wife

Having read and heard a lot about Peugeot 3008 on all articles, I decided to pay a visit to showroom to experience it ourselves. And I must say that the car is very impressive and win our heart totally.

The design of Peugeot 3008 is very handsome and modern inside-out. The exterior is undoubtedly refreshing with new uplifted signature front grill design, and I'm sure it will stand out among a pool of cars in a car park or and a head turner while on the road. The interior i-cockpit design is also very impressive and well specs.

The steering wheel design is interesting, and smaller than other cars, need to get used to.

Other than the comfort, 3008 loaded with lot of safety features. 6 airbags, all round sensors, emergency brake assistance, lane keep assist, blind spot monitoring are just part of its premium features.

I have noticed quite alot of Peugeot 3008 on the roads, but just saw this new one on the road the other day and had to go to the showroom to have a look.

The new front end and rear LED lights make the 3008 look different and nicer than the previous one.

The test car I tried was the higher, Allure trim with panoramic sunroof and Nappa leather seats, very comfortable and nice to be in! The steering wheel design is interesting, and smaller than other cars, need to get used to.

Overall, the ride is comfortable, interior feels luxurious and high quality, nice car to have.
