The all new Peugeot 3008 from Simon Bailes

The new Peugeot 3008 Crossover was designed for multi-taskers everywhere. Its high driving position and Grip Control feature make it feel like an SUV. And with all that interior space, it has plenty in common with a compact MPV. But the low emissions of a family hatchback make it a more responsible choice than either vehicle. As life gets busier and you need to multitask more and more, you simply won’t find a more versatile car.

The Peugeot 3008 is very easy on the eye. An innovative balance of the dynamic and the robust, the 3008 seats you high, with a forward positioned windscreen and plunging side windows giving you full command of the road.

Wide sculpted flanks, a distinctive front grille and luxurious chrome all add up to a bold design statement that reflects the 3008’s status. Yet innovative construction, such as laser welding, makes the Peugeot 3008 Crossover lighter than others in this class; reducing fuel consumption and the impact on the environment.

Inside the 3008 Crossover the first thing that strikes you is the sheer amount of space and light with the 1.6m2 glass roof and panoramic windscreen. The 3008 has a huge range of hi-tech controls including Distance Alert and Head-up Display. State-of-the-art entertainment and telematics systems, hugely generous legroom and personal air conditioning complete the atmosphere of luxury and comfort.

The Peugeot 3008 is packed with technology, including breakthrough developments that improve safety and driving pleasure while reducing the car’s impact on the environment. Innovations include Dynamic Roll Control, Grip Control and Head-up Display, with Distance Alert radar. In addition, the construction of the car itself involves cutting edge technology and materials to reduce weight and emissions without compromising safety.

Thanks to Peugeot’s expertise and the latest technologies, the 3008 Crossover offers road holding qualities worthy of the best saloons – no mean feat for a large family car. Coupled with its wide choice of engines, the Peugeot 3008 Crossover delivers a dynamic yet refined driving experience.

Technological innovation and Peugeot’s extensive experience combine to take safety to new levels. The 3008 has been designed to achieve a 5* rating in the 2009 Euro NCAP standards.

Dynamic performance, space and respect for the environment. Uniquely, the 3008 delivers all three through innovative technologies, materials and construction. Lower emissions and a car of this size do not normally go together, but the 3008 is no normal car. Fuel consumption is much lower than you would expect and CO2 emissions are an exceptionally low 130g/km for the HDi 110 FAP EGC engine.
