2021 Peugeot 3008: Facelift plug-in crossover has plenty of appeal

[@CookedLight]

3 years ago I chose a 3008 instead of a BMW X1 and Mercedes GLA, it has been a superb car. Recently drove from Birmingham to Glasgow non-stop with no issues, the seats are that good.

[@Fokas-n8t]

I happen to have driven all three cars. My brother has the X1, had the previous X3, now he has also bought the new X3 and I have rented the GLA. But of course I bought the Peugeot 3008 (2nd hand GT trim 225hp hybrid version at 50,000 km). I can't speak yet for its overall quality as I have done few kilometers, but this is possibly the most pleasant car I have ever driven in terms of everyday driving needs. I love the interior space, the small steering wheel and the "head-up" controls, the piano buttons, the style of materials inside, it just feels awesome. I live in Germany and so most friends and colleagues tend to drive the German ones, Mercedes, BMW, Audi, VW - and everyone who got into it told me they were impressed, they just loved the interior. I can't explain this, it is just that some cars make you feel good inside, others make you feel indifferent and some make you not like them at all. This one makes people love being inside, even as passengers, let alone as a driver.

Peugeot have a good design team.

I have a 2018 3008 gt-line 1.6 165 hp. Eat6.. and I absoluty love it, but I just bought a 2021 3008 hybrid4 ltd. 300 hp. I get it in 6 days, can't wait.. really great Cars! 👍

[@georgiesheldon6088]

Have you still got it and how did you find it? @jesperlehmann4336

[@MrFifthB]

Love this car! Just upgraded from a 2017 model of the 3008 to a new Hybrid4 GT line, and what an upgrade. Putting it in Sport Mode is awesome. Only thing I miss from the previous one(diesel) is the fuel consumption. But the electric gets us through our daily drive in town which is great. It would be great if this model would come in a full electric!

[@npr1300A8]

Thanks for your comment. I currently own a 2019 GT Line diesel and I'm considering the same as yours. I've been offered £29,000 for mine against a new 300 Hybrid. Cheers. Paul.

[@taz2392]

Hey how many miles do you get with the phev?

[@MrFifthB]

@@taz2392 During summer I get around 34 miles just on the electric, during winter it's around 12 miles. But, I live in Iceland and the cold is not helping.

[@MrFifthB]

@@npr1300A8 Sorry on the super late reply! Just curious, did you upgrade to the new Hybrid?

[@npr1300A8]

@Baldur Árnason Hi Baldur. After a couple of little problems with my order of the 2021 Hybrid4 GT in red (somebody at the dealer ordered grey so I cancelled but they redeemed themselves by sourcing the exact model I'd wanted) I finally took delivery of my car last week. After driving for 667 miles, the only gripes I have compared to my 2019 diesel model are the lower MPG and the adaptive cruise control. Whilst I see it as a safety feature, it would be nice to be able to disable it. I think technology can make some drivers complacent and lazy and long term be less able to manually control the vehicle in an emergency situation. Otherwise, I'm delighted with my purchase.

I’ve ordered the GT PREMIUM 1.6 petrol version, I was going for the hybrid but no garage or handy electric points and charging would be a real pain. I went for metallic black with black pack, I’ve only ever found one photo of one and it looks awesome. I can’t wait for this beautiful beast to arrive, 4 or 5 months dealer reckons.

[@Kaye_J.A]

This is exactly the spec I have my eye on. Just doing a bit more looking around before I make my final decision. What's the wait time currently from ordering to delivery? Hope you enjoy your new car. Looks fab!

Good review. Personally I prefer the previous front-end styling, which I think is lovely. To me this looks a little busy. But 3008's are fantastic cars.

[@darllee634]

I've got a 2019 Peugeot 3008 and I must say that it's the best car I've ever owned and I stumbled across it by accident. I'm looking to upgrade my petrol to Hybrid-petrol and can't wait.

[@Fokas-n8t]

Ι have bough 2nd hand this GT 225hp hybrid version at 50,000 km at a good price given the level of equipment that includes even a wide range of massage in its seats - I got the leather ones and they are fantastic. I can't tell about overall ownership as it is too early however, this is one of the best cars I have ever driven and I have driven a very large number of cars ranging from e.g. from basic version of Fiat 500 and KIA Picanto up to top versions BMW 5 and X5s and Jaguar XJs. What I liked with the 3008 is that it has indeed the feel of a luxury car without pretending to be a luxury car - this can be your daily driver, even in a crowded, congested city, so easy, so pleasant to drive around. I also think it has one of the best-designed interior spaces ever, with the small steering wheel, the display which works "head up" style (and very beautiful graphics) and the separate screen to the left which I prefer from the latest 2024 3008 version.

[@athollmcnicoll256]

Thing is Rebecca the wheel sizing, looks as if its running on R18's which for me could be a problem as I prefer R17's, so that extra inch of height gives it smoother control over British roads. Point 2 looks as if it could easily be converted to a Camper Car and that suits me to a T.

Sadly the top range models require £1000 for the panoramic roof previously free and you lose the spare wheel for the focal sound system. No amount of quality stereo will get you home when your tyre is punctured beyond the gloop repair. Still I am waiting for my new one almost 3 months into the 6 month wait but, at least I still have my GT Line Premium 1.& hdi eat to play with until the next hdi auto arrives.

Had to use one as a hire car this weekend. Surprisingly for a big looking beast of a car it had the internal dimensions giving the opposite impression of the Tardis. Terrible leg room at the back, Claustrophobic separate pods for the driver and front passenger. Irritating placement of cup holders at the front interfering with elbow resting. Diabolical placement of cruise controls completely hidden from drivers view. Adjustable screen content in front of driver was a good feature. Overall not impressed to contemplate a purchase.
