2019 Peugeot 3008 SUV UK Review! New Motoring 

Yepn this 1.2is really great. But of course, the 1.6 is still better

You should be a car reviewed ;) Pretty much sums up what so many people are saying about it! i-Cockpit is stunning. When will yours arrive? Will you be sad to say goodbye to the BMW? SW

Mine should arrive at the end of July. Will I miss my BMW? Yes, to a degree. It is black with a black leather interior and piano black finishers. Though it does look good when polished, there is, perhaps, too much black. I have heated seats and steering wheel and the previously mentioned head up display. It also also has the drop down rear seat option. I have a spare set of BMW alloys fitted with winter tyres. It is a brilliant car but I am looking forward to my 3008, as the interior is so stylish.

Black on black on black is a bit too much... Light interiors always look good on black cars. Heated steering wheels are dreamy in the winter, alloys with winter tyres is a smart move. You'll enjoy the 3008, though. Interior isn't BMW quality but it's a much more interesting place to spend your time.

Well, I've owned my 3008 Allure for almost a month (it arrived early) and I am not missing my BMW at all. The 1.2 auto is even better than I expected and it is certainly not underpowered. I've had no problems overtaking on main roads or motorways and I've not even used the sport mode yet. I've completed 760 miles on all types of roads and it is up to the job. It drives very nicely on country roads at 60 mph (where safe to do so) as easily as my BMW did. I've had no problems joining traffic on busy motorways and it picks up nicely when having to sprint between lanes. It is a comfortable car with a great driving position. Averaging 44 mpg at the moment - but I have carried out more urban runs than I normally would in the time I have owned it.

You got a subscriber by the way

Thanks Jamie! i-Cockpit is brilliant. I've seen a few recently, too. They're becoming more common! SW

The Gt line is the pick. The full gt isn't worth the extra £5k. The gt line has all most would need.

Thanks Lyndon! You'll enjoy it I think. Let us know when it arrives and what you think! SW

congratz! bought mine today.. have to wait to November..

I bought the 5008 and mine arrives in februari

Thanks Chris! Good to know. We focus more on how the car drives rather than the ins and outs of the boot, rear seat space etc. but, yes, it's worth keeping that in mind. Will do. SW

SDav21 it looked like something my 87yo grandma would drive around

I do not agree. at the time people found it an interesting and nice design. It just didn't hold up well, estetically speaking, over the years.

Oh, that sucks... I know 3008 production had to be halted because there was a supplier factory fire, and the 3008 was also more popular than they expected so I think 5008 production has just been delayed more and more. Not sure of a date yet but make sure you ask Peugeot, they should be communicating with you.

All the options! Well played. Enjoying it?

I sure am! To me it is even better than some of the high end SUV's.

The review is from 2017 when it had different motorization options... But they renamed the title for attention so now it is confusing as ...

If I'm honest I don't know the colour of that specific car, but I can check with Peugeot! Will get back to you. SW

Just checked with Peugeot. It was 'Amazonite Grey'!

Thanks for the reply. I guess I'll have to keep looking for the Hurricane Gray pics / videos :/

dabro9o Hurricane grey is the base standard colour, its ok but you would be far better off with one of the other grey's or another colour as they are metallic/pearlescent :)

How long have you had it? Such a cool looking machine.

NewMotoring we've had it for just over a month it's a brilliant car

Enjoying it so far? What spec/engine did you go for?

NewMotoring we went for the allure in nera black 1.2 puretech with a few options

The 2.0L diesel is the best engine for the Peugeot. It has been proven over a long period of time. It has plenty of power and it just keeps going. I had a 2012 308 HDi (2.0L diesel) Brilliant. Just sold it to buy a 2022 3008GT - again a 2.0L diesel. They tell me that 2022 is the last of the 2.0L diesels in Australia. Not sure about O/S.

@@allanbriggs807 sadly with the new emissions restrictions in Belgium a diesel is almost impossible to drive.

@@ChrischrosBelgium yes. Iwas aware of that. Austrslia has had fairly lax emission rules. Just changing now. That's why i bought the 2022 3008GT diesel. It is the last of them. Got it at huge discount.

Green

Yes it is! And we're driving it in three weeks time. Looking forward to seeing what it's like.

Also, Cardinal Biggles, fantastic name 👏

@@newmotoring Nobody expects........

Fair play. Perhaps you're right. But the quality of a modern Peugeot is better than it's ever been. SW

Fair play. I know they can have quite a few electrical problems, and the quality of the interior trim, for example, isn't anywhere near as good as it is today (in most cases!).

NewMotoring electrical problems?..

if you really look for quality trim in a small car in late 90's early 00's there aren't that many that can be called good, specially to today standards...

Ah that sucks. Different markets get different specs though - makes filming reviews quite tricky for viewers outside of Europe!

yea...I can tell u that they put the engine of the previous 3008 (the van), which is a 1.6, still could be worse...many compact SUVs here have still a 2.5 L, like Forrester, Escape, Koleos, etc.

Fair enough, they have made some brilliant looking cars in the past. I always really liked the RCZ! But the 3008 just feels like a step forwards, somehow - there are some really cool details on the outside and the interior is super-impressive. SW

NewMotoring Now I wish they can bring the RCZ back. What a hugely underrated car. :-(

Same! Loved the RCZ R, particularly. 270bhp, I think. Really good fun and looked brilliant.

Agreed. Brilliant car! No one really saw it coming.

Gallopingclap It's an Allure not a GT Line. The GT Line is slightly different.

I can't remember the specific car we used for the exterior shots, sorry, but it's simply because I drove it before I drove the car I'm doing my pieces to camera in. The exterior fly-by footage of the car I'm speaking in was lost on a damaged memory card! SW

the engine is way too small for the car's size.

@@grumman i know man i wish i had the 6 speed 120 ps diesel... this 5 speed 100ps is not cool man , i saved 3000 euros from the engine and i put the rims and the sceen with navigation system, i wish i had stock rims with no touch screen navigation and better engine now

Ha! It's not a million miles away from other Peugeots like the 2008 is what I meant. The rear is completely different, though.

One the ugly end of the scale you have the kia sportage and up the other audi... This is easily close to audi for front looks. The only down thing is the grill is flimsy to the touch.

He did not say that. He said: it is not as radical as the back." That is not the same thing.

ehhhh there's many benefits? ... For me 'higher ride' easier to get in and out of, better trunk (easier to put stuff in) - better in the snow (because of the higher ride) - better visibility in traffic and so much more... on the other hand what do you lose by having a crossover/Suv without the 4x4? ... I mean, if you're not using it for offroading?

John Kellett I dont think the manufacturers have lost the plot, go see which fwd car won the Dakar rally last year ;)

Answering customers demand. Car manufacturer just do what people will buy.

I get what you mean but it's just what people want to buy nowadays. MPVs aren't the thing any more, SUVs are. SW

Most people who buy SUV's never go "off road".

Oh dear... Get in touch with the dealer.

Really I have one for 2 months it runs smoothly no problems so far.. hope your issues have been resolved

Expand.

castillaban is a crap!

3008, the same sound as a watering engine but with lower performance

sounds much like a chevrolet seller...my condolences for your new equinox...was so young :'(

I have the 2.0L diesel - plenty of power.@@castillaban5538
