Got it for a couple of month. So satisfied by this car . Fed up with old design Things who is not frequetly said: - Suspensions are very good, - Silence inside is impressing - Road holding is very good - Turning radius is impressive as well ( easy to park )

[@klackon1]

Great review, thank you. I went into my local Peugeot dealership just to have a look at a 3008, expecting I would need a 1.6 turbo petrol. The salesman gave me the keys to a 1.2 auto Allure model and told me to take it out and see if I still thought I required a 1.6. I came back after 20 minutes and ordered a 1.2 auto. If anyone had told me a few days earlier that I would be replacing my BMW 520D with a Peugeot I would have burst out laughing. I have HUD on my BMW, which is brilliant, but the i-Cockpit is even better. The interior of the 3008 blows everything else out of the water.

[@dufonrafal]

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

[@newmotoring]

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

[@klackon1]

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.

[@newmotoring]

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.

[@klackon1]

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.

[@donaldmaclean7337]

really enjoyed this review, chap is open and honest about car, doesn't feel like he has any hidden agendas, top work!

[@DanielEstibeiro]

Amazing review and what an amazing car. I've seen your video about the 308 gti at was also amazing both the review and the car I really hope that Peugeot will become more popular and the people just forget about the brands history....

[@DanielEstibeiro]

You got a subscriber by the way

[@jamiep61]

Great Video Review. I agree the New Peugeot 3008 Is a big Improvement and I particularly like the New i-cockpit display. I saw one yesterday on Skipton Road near Bilton where I live and It was the GT Line Model

[@newmotoring]

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

[@StephenButlerOne]

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

[@SDav21]

What?? The previous 3008 was a great car. It tows well and looks interesting. It is eye catching with its rear lights and big front grille. It wasn't simply a box because it doesn't look like one. It also had a good interior by the way. It was a good design and was well built.

[@pvaz]

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

[@ChrischrosBelgium]

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.

[@ericgeorge5483]

As a car lover I am always looking for good value over a snobby badge and the 3008 looks like a step in the right direction.

[@banno69]

Nice review. You went over some areas not really discussed in other videos. It would be nice to see a bit more of the car though (boot, rear seats etc.) so I hope you bear that in mind for future videos.

[@newmotoring]

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

[@lyndon8353]

Nice review that mate. Well done. Got my GT on order. Delivery Aug time I think !

[@newmotoring]

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

[@RustyNotesTV]

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

[@mariociobanu5233]

I bought the 5008 and mine arrives in februari

[@gags786]

Good review, but please show the car and it’s features bit more more in the video!

[@bearmanfl2002]

I love my 3008 GT top of the line all the options with 2.0 Diesel Automatic.

[@newmotoring]

All the options! Well played. Enjoying it?

[@bearmanfl2002]

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

[@billywatt1402]

Would like someone to operate the touchscreen heating controls whilst on the move.

[@tomheard7844]

Love our 2017 3008

[@newmotoring]

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

[@tomheard7844]

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

[@newmotoring]

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

[@tomheard7844]

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

[@juuhaa1]

New EAT8 is very nice. And 5 years warranty only 390euro,is good deal.

[@livc444111]

Harsh on the 206! Good cars and fairly reliable! The reason you see so many beaten up ones is because they are old cars (testament to reliability?)

[@newmotoring]

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

[@DrMoorehen]

The front IS nicer than the back! I own one!

[@leem5894]

still waiting on the 5008, it's all gone quiet the last 3 months. any ideas on release or pre order date?

[@newmotoring]

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.

[@liuwenhua339]

Got it

[@dufonrafal]

206's are fairly reliable. If a car looks beaten, it's because of the owner…

[@newmotoring]

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!).

[@livc444111]

NewMotoring electrical problems?..

[@rui518]

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...

[@ChrischrosBelgium]

I do mostly short trips so the 1.2 petrol would be enough. But I also like to go to very long trips and would like to pull a caravan, so i'm afraid the 1.2 petrol would have a hard time. What do you recommend? The 1.6 or 2.0 hdi diesel? Ir is that overkill?

[@allanbriggs807]

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.

[@ChrischrosBelgium]

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

[@allanbriggs807]

@@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.

[@dabro9o]

Hey! I am considering buying that car but I can't find any dealership with one in Hurricane Gray color to see for myself how it looks. Is the one at the start of Your video in that color?

[@newmotoring]

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

[@newmotoring]

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

[@dabro9o]

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

[@tonyb1223]

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 :)

[@valleysofneptune]

The 1.6 petrol is 180bhp in Gt line or 225 in GT spec, I also thought it had a 8 speed auto?

[@Seethion]

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

[@kukurbelis3907]

Seat belt?

[@Radio4ManLeics]

Is the EAT8 auto coming to the range? That might be a better match than the EAT6.

[@newmotoring]

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

[@newmotoring]

Also, Cardinal Biggles, fantastic name 👏

[@Radio4ManLeics]

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

[@SDav21]

Listen...this looks great but how can you say they were a bit more adventurous with the styling? Current Peugeots look great but in a more conservative way. In the past they were more daring with large grilles and shapely rear lights.

[@newmotoring]

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

[@SDav21]

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

[@newmotoring]

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

[@StephenButlerOne]

Its a great car, and the get line trim at about £25k is very keenly priced. I went to drive the 1.6 thinking it may ne too weedy, but they only had the 1.2 3cly. I took it out anyway, and was amazed how it didn't feel underpowered, although i never took it on the motorway Im up for a new car in the summer and this i im my top 3 to look at. 1.octqvia estate vrs, 2.rav4 hybrid (that is 1.heart 2.brains) and this is a wild card entry.

[@ruzzelladrian907]

The designers need a raise! Aggressive styling that's elegant and attractive. Take notes Toyota. Your cars are aggressive and ugly.

[@ArsenPotentier]

Looks like a big hit from Peugeot this 3008 has left the competition standing

[@newmotoring]

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

[@tazwarhossain5283]

Could u please tell me what's the colour?

[@ahmedseoudi3118]

Green

[@nicoswow]

by 1.2 you mean the diesel? I am a little confused, here in Mexico cars arrive with half the equipment of the ones in Europe ahha

[@newmotoring]

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

[@nicoswow]

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.

[@k4p1t4l9]

Why are you sitting on the floor? Lift the seat up 😂

[@galloping5273]

Nice review but the car you show in the exterior cut away shots is NOT an allure. (It's a GT line). The car you drive (interior shots) IS an allure though...bit confusing???

[@dufonrafal]

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

[@newmotoring]

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

[@BonkersAboutAlice]

Rubbish. I’ve got a mk1 3008 and I love it. I’m getting a new one soon as it’s just got better and better.

[@George13sageika]

I own this car for a year now.. I am quite happy with it, but I really don't like the engine... it does not feel reliable at all. 1600 100ps allure I own

[@grumman]

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

[@George13sageika]

@@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

[@ericburbach632]

You say the front end is ordinary, you need your eyes tested !

[@newmotoring]

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

[@freefallu]

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.

[@ChrischrosBelgium]

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

[@marklola12]

The 308 is shit too the interior is bland as hell and touchscreen dated and crap as hell, I cant wait till it is revamped soon

[@JohnKellett_kreativarchitects]

What is the purpose of having the 'style' of an off-road vehicle but not the 'substance' of a 4x4? Have car manufacturers lost the plot?

[@VinceDae]

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?

[@tonyb1223]

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

[@dufonrafal]

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

[@newmotoring]

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

[@allanbriggs807]

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

[@timbrown5156]

How they letting a kid drive a car?

[@Vito6435764]

Very, very poor quality, heater and fan control screen frozening, plastics and speakers inside making noise. Owner 2 mont.

[@newmotoring]

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

[@PTZOUTZ]

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

[@castillaban5538]

Peugeot is a crap.

[@newmotoring]

Expand.

[@thedons4270]

castillaban is a crap!

[@castillaban5538]

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

[@nicoswow]

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

[@allanbriggs807]

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

[@christianwold]

Terrible boring review, no facts only talk..
