The Peugeot 3008 has established itself in our market as a balanced, comfortable and very attractive vehicle. It was presented at the end of 2016 and its success was immediate, starting with the award for the Best Car of the Year in Europe, awarded in the framework of the 2017 Geneva Motor Show. This award, granted by specialized journalists in the sector, recognized the work of the firm and its daring with a completely new, different and complete model. Three years later, it’s time to update details that can leave it out of date in an ever-changing industry. The evolution can be seen in its new front and in more driving assistance systems , some of them new, such as night vision. The purchase arguments remain the same, with the plus of having a wide variety of powertrains to choose from thanks to the plug-in hybrid variants. Its starting price of 26,900 euros brings it closer to the premium market and, as such, meets the quality, ride comfort and digitization requirements expected of it.
The Peugeot 3008 competes in one of the most fought segments today. Some of its rivals are: Seat Ateca, Mazda CX-30, Volkswagen Tiguan, Hyundai Tucson or Citroen C5 Aircross, among others. The C-SUVs were the first and, as such, they earned their reputation among Spanish buyers. So it is not surprising that the 3008 is the firm’s best-selling model, with a total of 800,000 registered units . A leadership that they intend to maintain, and even improve, with the introduction of PHEV variants, of which they expect 20% of their sales quota .
During its national presentation, the lion’s signature took the opportunity to also show us the new Peugeot 5008 . This older brother adopts the tweaks of the 3008 in a body of up to 7 seats. This great SUV competes with alternatives such as the Seat Tarraco or the Hyundai Santa Fe, cars of considerable size that meet the needs of large families. For them it is vital to have 780 liters of luggage capacity , expandable to 1,940 with the seats folded down. Today, however, we will focus on the middle of the family.
