The Peugeot 3008 is a fun-looking SUV with a big boot, stylish interior and decent levels of equipment, but it takes a while to get used to the quirky small steering wheel and high-up instrument cluster
Pros Stylish inside and out Big boot Efficient engines
Cons No four-wheel-drive option Entry-level diesel is slow Oddly positioned instruments
The 3008 would have to be the best Peugeot I’ve driven apart from the 308 and I was rather forlorn to hand back the keys.
Pros Bold, attractive styling HUD instrument panel/advanced graphics Comfortable, luxury interior Tech features Dynamic handling Large panoramic roof Powered tailgate
Cons Flat topped steering wheel No powered seats
Pros Refined ride quality Agile handling for an SUV Infotainment system is attractive and easy to use Strong optional V6 engine
Cons Compromised headroom for rear passengers Lower max cargo capacity than several rivals
Pros Spunky engine options Responsive handling Long list of standard features
Cons Unimpressive cabin materials Less rear seat and cargo space than many rivals Firm ride
Pros Fiercely styled for an SUV, satisfying driving behavior, cargo area and rear seat are spacious.
Cons Some cheap interior bits, no hybrid option to boost fuel economy, pricier than nicer rivals.
