The SUV Peugeot 3008 is a leader in the compact SUV market, with more than 800,000 vehicles produced since its launch in 2016. It has achieved an outstanding commercial performance in Europe and internationally. The Car Of The Year 2017 award capped off this success. The new SUV Peugeot 3008 perfectly embodies the power of choice, an idea that brand holds very dear and it comes with a rechargeable hybrid engine, two or four-wheel drive and petrol or diesel engines, combining driving pleasure and efficiency. To complete these extensive experiences, it has the new commercial range structure which was recently introduced on the PEUGEOT 308. This is made up of 3 levels of finishes with, for each of them, an additional set of equipment known as a “pack”. Without compromising on intelligent technologies, the new SUV Peugeot 3008 comes with the latest-generation driving aids, as well as a new PEUGEOT i-Cockpit® with a new high-quality display headset and a new 10-inch high-definition touch screen. Its inspired new design sets the tone for a new era of modernity with ever more elegance, a redesigned front end, new Full LED rear lights, new body colours and a new “Black Pack” option. Depending on the country of sale, the new SUV Peugeot 3008 can be purchased on the “PEUGEOT STORE” online sales site, which offers 100% digital purchase, trade-in, financing and delivery options.
In order to stay one step ahead in terms of style, the front end of the new SUV Peugeot 3008 has evolved towards a style that is as distinctive and unique as ever. This inspired design is setting the codes for the next phase of modernity, while enhancing refinement and vibrancy. To emphasise the sportiness, shiny black side scoops and a painted tread plate have been included into the new bumper from the first trim level. A new frameless grille symbolises the increasingly modern style, while maintaining a fluid design. In the designer’s words, it extends with fins under the headlamps to connect all of the elements. And lastly, the nose of the bonnet now proudly displays the model’s monogram, as does the entire Peugeot range. The front headlamps have also been redesigned to be more aggressive and to split even more from current codes. They include LED technology from the very first level and are extended by hook-shaped DRLs with a chrome tip. This light signature is perfectly in line with the current Peugeot style and is identifiable at first glance. There is a specific grille on the GT / GT Pack with a scalable design pattern to emphasise the stylistic upgrade of the GT versions.
On the GT / GT Pack levels, Full LED headlamps offer an even more high-tech and distinctive look, thanks to the extended light signature and the bend lighting function (EVS) which optimises visibility at speeds of up to 90 km/h. At the rear, new, upgraded headlamps include Full LED technology (including the reversing light), displaying the 3D claws for a punchy light signature. The indicators are sequential. Of particular note is the new “Foggy Mode” function which has replaced the fog lights. It is integrated into the Full LED headlamps, and switches on the low beam headlamps with reduced intensity when the rear fog lamps are activated. The lights are covered with a clear, smoked glass, extending the black boot lid on each side of the vehicle, which helps to visually widen the rear of the vehicle. The GT Pack level has a new 19-inch “San Francisco” diamond-studded aluminium wheel on the side to make this finish even more exclusive. In addition, the GT monograms (front wings and boot lid) have been upgraded. The new SUV Peugeot 3008 will be available in the following shades: Celebes Blue (new shade), Vertigo Blue (new shade), Pearl White, Artense Grey, Platinum Grey, Perla Nera Black and Ultimate Red.
Rechargeable hybrid engines are an iconic symbol of the Brand’s Power of Choice philosophy, the new SUV Peugeot 3008 therefore comes with 2 rechargeable Hybrid engine options: HYBRID4 300 e-EAT8 / 4-wheel drive / from 29g/C02 per km and up to 59 km of 100% electric range (according to the WLTP protocol), HYBRID 225 e-EAT8 / 2-wheel drive / from 30g/C02 per km and up to 56 km of 100% electric range (according to WLTP protocol). Remarkably efficient and powerful, the HYBRID 4300 e-EAT8 version was created by combining a 200hp (or 147kW) PureTech engine and two electric engines: one at the front coupled to the e-EAT8 gearbox that reaches 110hp (or 81kW) and the second positioned on the rear axle for 112hp (or 83kW). The 4WD mode, also available in Electric mode, provides improved traction on roads and difficult terrain. The result is flawless grip: whether on wet, muddy, snowy or winding roads, the power is distributed electronically and evenly across all four wheels of the vehicle. The 225hp (or 165kW) HYBRID two-wheel drive version combines a 180hp (or 132kW) PureTech engine with a 110hp (or 80kW) electric engine attached to the e-EAT8 gearbox.
Based on the Efficient Modular Platform (EMP2), both versions benefit from a multi-link rear suspension, creating a perfect balance between comfort and driving pleasure. All of this without affecting spaciousness and preserving the boot volume above the mat.The Li-ion battery has a capacity of 13.2 kWh and two types of on-board chargers are available, meeting all customer needs and charging solutions, with a 3.7 kW single-phase charger as standard and a 7.4 kW single-phase charger as an option.

The TCO (Total Cost of ownership or cost per use) which is already used for professional customers, and of course applicable for private customers. The purchase cost of a plug-in hybrid vehicle is higher, but all factors must be taken into account: the variety of tax incentives (ecological bonuses, bonuses, corporate subsidies), the maintenance cost, the lower energy costs. The objective is to offer a TCO or equivalent running cost between a combustion vehicle and an electric vehicle. The new SUV Peugeot 3008 is available with the following combustion engines, CO2 content starting at 129 g/km.
