As we bid farewell to our long-term Peugeot 3008 we can't help but think it's arguably the best Peugeot ever made. It also happens to be one of the best cars in its class.
Three months with the 3008 and it still remains our pick of the bunch.
It has been more than a month since we took delivery of our Peugeot 3008 long-termer. Our GT-Line petrol has racked up close to 4000km since new and so far, it hasn’t missed a beat. It has been our family car to take the kids to school and back and has been doing the grocery runs and pretty much whatever else you can imagine of an SUV this size...
In many ways the 2018 Peugeot 3008 is the new benchmark in the medium SUV segment. But does it do enough to convince newcomers to go French?

See the full article here. For this reviewer, at least, the 3008 sets the benchmark in this segment. Sure, if you’re thinking about it as a cold logical decision, it’s probably not the best value for money, nor is it likely to have the best resale, or stack up in terms of longevity against the traditional Japanese players...

Peugeot has produced its one millionth 308 this past week, along with the 500,000th 3008, both rolling down the production line at almost the same time. According to the French brand, the 308 is being built at a rate of 860 vehicles per day, while the 3008 is running at over 1000 units a day. The plant is said to be running seven days a week to meet global demand...
The Peugeot 508 Hybrid and Peugeot 3008 GT Hybrid4 have been detailed overnight, ahead of a European on-sale date during the second quarter of 2019. With both drivetrain options the driver can use opt to utilise electric motor (regenerative) braking whenever they lift off the accelerator, and an e-Save mode, which sets aside 10km, 20km or a battery's worth of range for later...
Inchcape Australia has issued a recall notice for diesel-powered Peugeot 308, 3008 and 5008 models, over concerns about engine overheating. According to the company, the cooling strategy and maximum temperature alert might make the engine overheat. If the engine overheats and seizes on the move, owners and other road users could be at risk of an accident...
Peugeot's local division is mulling a 96kW 1.2-litre petrol engine for a "broader range" of models, namely the 3008 crossover and 308 Touring wagon. Currently used in models like the 208 light hatch, 2008 SUV, and 308 small hatch, the 'PureTech' turbocharged three-cylinder unit makes the aforementioned 96kW of power at 5500rpm, along with 230Nm of torque at 1750rpm...
We got our ex-dealer 3008 with about 25,000 kms on it. I've added 20,000 kms on it so far. The 3008 shines in its frugal and torquey diesel engine and great ergonomics, especially in terms of the front seats with their excellent side bolstering and under-knee support and the perfectly sized steering wheel with built-in 'blisters' for resting your palms on...
