Unlike the Qashqai, the 3008 doesn’t replace a regular hatchback model. Instead, it will sit above the 308 and be priced from £16,000. With its chrome mesh grille, oversized headlights and chubby wheelarches, the newcomer certainly stands out. Inside, the dash wraps around to meet the high centre console, so while the driving position is raised, it feels cosy and car-like.
A vast windscreen and glass roof mean the cabin is light and airy. In the back, there’s space for three adults, while the boot gets a triple-height floor and split tailgate. At 1,604 litres with the seats folded flat, it’s big, but still smaller than the 308 SW’s. However, you can’t remove the rear seats, nor can you slide them back and forth.
Despite its SUV billing, the model isn’t four-wheel drive. To improve all-terrain ability, there’s optional Grip Control, but the new car isn’t really suited to off-roading. Under the bonnet, buyers can choose from normally aspirated and turbocharged 1.6-litre petrol engines, plus 1.6 and 2.0-litre diesels. A hybrid arrives in a few years.
We drove the 1.6 HDi. It’s gruff but frugal, returning 55mpg. Despite its tall stance, the car doesn’t roll much and grips strongly. Ride comfort also impresses, but the brakes are mushy and the steering vague. Source:Peugeot 3008
