Peugeot’s stylish 3008 SUV comes in a hybrid package loaded with plenty of great features and space enough for a small family. Being a hybrid version, this is the model I would suggest is ideal for travelling about Australia, because when you hit traffic like Sydney has, you will spend a lot of your time moving slowly in congestion. It is amazing just how frugal a hybrid is in these environments.
Under the bonnet of the top of the range Peugeot 3008 Plug-In Hybrid SUV, you get a decent bit of power on tap. When you head out of town and travel the motorways at 110 km/h, the 1.6-litre turbo petrol motor happily whisks you along effortlessly. And when you need an extra bit of shove, the electric motor can kick in to give you even more zip. Actually, if you do perform a 0–100 km/h sprint in a new Peugeot 3008 Plug-In Hybrid medium SUV, you’ll be impressed with its acceleration and refinement. It is possible to scamper through the sprint in around 6 seconds (factory claimed stat: 5.9 seconds). The way, this stylish Peugeot SUV continues to put the power down all the way through to 235 km/h shows you that this is able to excite and can be sporty. This excellent performance is with the hybrid combination putting out a peak power of 147 kW and as much as 300 Nm of torque.
If you find most of your driving time is spent in mainly city traffic, in electric mode only, then you can see a fuel consumption figure lower than 2.0 litres/100 km. However, even when you have to use the petrol motor for a lot of the time, the engine and eight-speed automatic gearbox deliver first rate economy.
Driving enthusiasts will enjoy the new Peugeot 3008’s AWD composure in the corners, as well as the straight-line stability at higher speeds. It is the plug-in hybrid model that gets the AWD system; the other three models are front-wheel-drive. The new 3008 is an SUV that helps you to feel safe even in fast flowing traffic, and it comes equipped with excellent active safety features like adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, rain-sensing wipers, automatic LED headlights, and blind spot detection. Should the need arise that you have to perform an emergency braking procedure, the Peugeot 3008 Plug-In Hybrid SUV pulls you to a stop in no time at all. You can tow a light trailer with this SUV, and the boot can carry as much as 591 litres behind the rear seats. The seats are foldable for more luggage space as well.
Inside the medium-size Peugeot SUV you will find the seats very comfortable, and the refinement is at the top of the medium-size SUV class. Ride quality is very good, with road undulations being soaked up very well. The zoned climate control does a great job of keeping you and your passengers cool in summer and warm in winter. There are plenty of USB ports, storage areas, a wireless charging and connection pad, a quality touchscreen display, Bluetooth connections, GPS satellite navigation, a premium sound system, electric windows, an electric tailgate, and superb safety features to boot. The 2024 3008 comes with an ANCAP-tested 5-star safety result.
