Peugeot has refreshed the 3008, introducing new styling features, more technology and class leading safety features to the compact SUV.

The front end of the new Peugeot 3008 has been made even more striking, thanks to a new frameless grille, as well as gloss black side scoops and a painted treadplate integrated with the new bumper design as standard. Top level GT and GT Premium trims receive their own bespoke front grilles to stand out even more.

The front head lights have also been redesigned to be more aggressive, and feature LED technology across the range. GT and GT Premium trim levels feature full LED head lights with an extended light signature.

At the rear, new upgraded taillights feature full LED technology with Peugeot's iconic three-claw rear light signature and sequential indicator lights.

The new 3008 SUV features Peugeot's next generation digital i-Cockpit technology with a 12.3-inch digital headup instrument panel, a compact steering wheel for improved driving dynamics and, now, across all trim levels, a 10-inch capacitive colour touchscreen.

The new 10-inch touchscreen comes with seven elegant piano 'toggle switches' providing direct access to main control functions, including the radio, Connected 3D Navigation and the vehicle settings.

Hybrid variants will also feature a specific button to access information relating to the electric powertrain. Petrol and diesel models equipped with Peugeot's eight-speed automatic transmission meanwhile now come fitted as standard with a drive mode selector that allows the driver to choose between Normal, Sport and Eco driving modes.

In hybrid models, the drive mode selector allows owners to switch between Electric (the default mode on start-up), Hybrid, Sport and 4WD modes, with the latter reserved for the Hybrid4 300 models only.

New Mistral Nappa Leather upholstery is available across the trim levels, while mid-Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) and textile upholstery is available on Allure and Allure Premium trim levels. New Mistral Black PET and New Red Nappa Leather upholstery are available on GT and GT Premium models. GT and GT Premium models will also be available with a new Dark Lime Wood window winder with chrome inserts and a new 'Frameless' rear-view mirror.

The new Peugeot 3008 comes with the latest driving aids and safety features to protect both its occupants and other road users.

New Night Vision technology will allow drivers to view pedestrians and animals on the 12.3-inch digital instrument panel up to 200m beyond the scope of the head lights, while Peugeot's latest generation Automatic Emergency Braking is now capable of detecting both pedestrians and cyclists at night at speeds from 4.8km/h to 138km/h.

The new 3008 also will receive Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop and Go and Lane Positioning Assist.

Two advanced plug-in hybrid powertrains are also being offered.The Hybrid4 300 e-EAT8 features a 197bhp PureTech petrol engine and two electric motors for a combined power output of 299bhp, with up to 58km of zero-emissions range. It is also the only variant available with 4WD.

The Hybrid 225 e-EAT8 features a smaller 177bhp PureTech petrol unit combined with a single 107bhp electric motor for a combined 302bhp power output. In fully electric mode the HYBRID 225 e-EAT8 provides a zero-emissions range of 55km.

Both hybrid models feature a 13.2kWh lithium-ion battery and come with two types of on-board chargers. A 3.7kW single-phase on board charger is included as standard, with a full charge taking four hours, while an optional 7.4kW on board charger is also available. A full charge using a 7.4kW wall box charger will take just one hour and 45 minutes.

The updated 3008 is also available as a 1.2-litre PureTech 130 mated to either an S&S six-speed manual or an S&S eight-speed automatic, while a 1.6-litre PureTech 180 is available, with an eight-speed automatic gearbox.
