Peugeot has launched its all-new 3008, a new SUV which steps away from the original Peugeot 3008 model’s MPV inspired outlook and takes on the form of a stylish crossover, which will sit underneath the new 5008.
Cars in entry-level Active trim advantage from a powerful infotainment suite, including a configurable 12.3-inch digital instrument panel, and in addition an eight-inch touchscreen with inherent Apple CarPlay and MirrorLink for Android mobile phones.
It forms the car’s so-called i-Cockpit interior, the screen laden centre console and dashboard wrapping around and cocooning the driver.
Dual climate control and rear parking sensors also come as standard on the entry-level model, alongside safety equipment such as automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning and distance alert. It sits on 17-inch alloy wheels, with automatic headlights and wipers thrown in.
While standard unit on the section level model is broad Peugeot expects that more than 50 for every penny of clients will spend somewhat more for Appeal trim.
Diesels will commence with a 98bhp, 1.6-litre Diesel Engine choice with a five-speed manual for the Active model as it were. It’ll be the cleanest in the range with 103g/km CO2 outflows, and the joint least expensive to keep running with guaranteed mileage of 70.4mpg.
A 118bhp diesel will be accessible over the range and is the most universal engine decision. It can be had with a manual or automatic six-speed gearbox, and Peugeot claims the same 70.4mpg score for the manual rendition.
The range topper will be the 3008 GT. With a sticker price of £32,995 it only gets a 179bhp 2.0-litre BlueHDI diesel engine mated to a six-speed automatic gearbox. Efficiency of 58.9mpg is guaranteed.
Full leather seats come as standard, while the driver’s seat is eight-way adjustable with a multi-point massage function. There are more design tweaks such as the aluminium roof bars, 19-inch alloy wheels with wheel arch extensions, and a panoramic glass roof. Additional tech such as keyless entry/go, adaptive cruise control and an electric tailgate is also included.
The new 3008 is based on another stage called EMP2, which is a vital piece of Peugeot’s arrangement to launch nine new models by 2021. The platform saves weight, which means that the 3008 is around 100kg lighter than the outgoing model, lowering emissions and improving fuel economy.
The turbocharged 1.2-litre PureTech 3-cylunder petrol engine will be the least expensive engine alternative on each model, except for the GT. Delivering 129bhp and 117g/km CO2, Peugeot claims it’ll be fit for 55.4mpg on a consolidated run. It’ll be accessible with a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic gearbox.
Allure and GT Line models will get a second petrol choice as well – a 163bhp, 1.6-litre unit. CO2 goes up to 129g/km, while economy plunges to 48.7mpg.
Cars at this level start from £23,595, and pack additional safety and assistance tech, front and rear parking sensors, a reversing camera, partial leather effect interior, power folding mirrors with blind spot indicators, plus satellite navigation.
They’ll additionally get a heap of styling changes, separating the auto from its entrance level kin. Bigger 18-inch alloy wheels are standard, similar to the chrome enumerating on the front wing, the dark scrape plate on the front guard, and the stainless steel doorsills.
