Overview
The all-new Peugeot 3008 for 2024 reinvents one of the UKu2019s best-loved family SUVs as a sleek fastback, with coupe-like styling that stands out in any supermarket car park. Inside, the latest i-Cockpit pairs a 21-inch curved panoramic display with Peugeotu2019s clever i-Toggle shortcut bar, and material quality takes a clear step up u2014 soft-touch surfaces, ambient lighting and genuinely comfortable seats make long journeys easy.
The volume seller in Britain is the 136 hybrid, which pairs a 1.2-litre turbo petrol engine with a 48V electric motor and a smooth 6-speed dual-clutch automatic. It is not a sports car, but it is refined, quiet and officially returns around 55mpg, making it cheap to run for a car of this size. Allure trim hits the sweet spot with 19-inch alloys, the panoramic screen and a powered tailgate, while GT adds sportier trim and extra tech.
Against the Nissan Qashqai, Kia Sportage and Hyundai Tucson, the 3008 counters with the most distinctive design and one of the nicest cabins in the class. The 520-litre boot is generous, rear space is fine for two adults, and the hybridu2019s low CO2 keeps company-car tax reasonable. It is pricier than before, but the 3008 2024 feels worth the premium.
