Can Peugeot's new 3008 outdo the popular CX-5? Comparison time!

Mazda CX-5 v Peugeot 3008: The newcomer versus the champ. This isn’t some naff reference to a big money fight, but by the same token, it kind of is - because here we have the much-lauded European that’s all about swagger, going against the stalwart chart-topper with a tremendous record.

I bought my 3008 (the automatic, 2lt turbo diesel) about 6 months ago. I test-drove many, including the CX-5, and went with the 3008. You know why I chose it? It was the only car that LITERALLY brought a smile to my face when I drove it. After 6 months, it still does.

[@joaocorreia6282]

I leased a 3008 GT Diesel for 3 months in Europe in 2018. April to July. It was an awesome car. I did 12,000 k's in it in that time. Took it from Holland to Italy, Austria, Germany & the UK. It did 190kph on the Autobahn in Germany, It drove over the French Italian alps in sub zero temperatures. It cruised around small Dutch roads like it was meant for them. It loved motorways in the UK and tiny roads in the Yorkshire Dales. It did not miss a beat. It was so good that when I got back to Australia I decided to buy one. Went to Von Bibra Motors in Southport and bought a brand new 3008 GT Line 1.6 litre Petrol in Pearl White with every option. Leather, heated/massage seats, panoramic sunroof, electric tailgate, Android Auto/Apple carplay, Sat Nav, Lane Departure Warning, Auto Emergency Braking, Radar cruise Control, Keyless Start & Locking, Speed Sign Recognition .. the list goes on. These 3008's are just in another league when it comes to competitor SUV's. It shits on the CX5 and laughs at the Tiguan. Have done 4500k's in it so far in South East Queensland and it attracts looks everywhere it goes. Lots of people look at it and you can see them thinking "WTF is that, looks awesome". If you want to get the boring as batshit Mazda that everyone else seems to buy you will be sorry if you ever park it next to one of these 3008's.

I've owned a Peugeot 3008 SUV for 6 months and it is brilliant. The build quality is probably far better than most people expect. Though it is not a 4 x 4 it does have Opti - Grip as an option. If you think that is a poor relation to 4 x 4, take a look at the independent You Tube review where it is used off road in deep snow.

[@jamiep61]

In the UK the new Peugeot 3008 has been popular since It launched earlier this year and most buyers choose the GT Line Trim

[@hectorroman1]

Agree, we got our 3008 GT Line in late November 2018 and its a great car. Try the Manuel Paddle Shift on Sports mode and it feels like a sports car on steroids. We thought of the Mazda, Toyota, and many others, but to us it was chalk and cheese. My brother in-law has the 508 in Italy and he has used it for more than 10 years with over 300,000 kilometres and still running from south of Italy to north. We hired one last year and we had to switch over to the French cars. If you are considering buying one, the top of the line is worth the money. If you think they are junk, it’s because you know nothing about the brand or what they have to offer. Have a look at how much Peugeot go into their engine technology and all the races they are winners of in comparison with other cars than make your statement.

[@Antoineforum]

Peugeot !! Just gorgeous and amazing.

[@daniellem2929]

The Mazda looks like every car on the market in terms of the interior. The design is so bleak. I reckon Peugeot has got the win. Plus, the infotainment is kind of outdated. The Peugeot’s sleek and quite futuristic style is so unique, but beautiful. I mean, look at that suede design and those aluminium finishes. It just screams premium over the Mazda. No hate, just sharing my honest opinion.

I'm a proud owner of a 3008 GT. Wife adores it, kids love it. And I did look at both before I bought it. I agree completely with your review. What I'm complaining about is your comment that Peugeot is a French upstart. You do know they've been around since 1810. And for those who talk about reliability. You really need to do some research. Resale value will be fine as I'm not competing against 100's of other Mazda Cx-5 that a buy can choose from. It really doesn't matter a car is the most depreciating assets you will ever own.

[@TubesWidener]

I am not from Australia, but here in Egypt the peugeot went to serious problems since they started the 405 early models which was assembeled here and it was money pit with never ending problems. The history goes on with different dealers changed past decades with still problems of bad AC and engine problems and very expensive unprofessional dealer services. The latest official dealer nor "Mansour" is known of money pit and unprof3ssional services and unfortunately this could be the end of this nice brand here in Egypt because he is selling it way overpriced and also he is selling it without many of its standard options and even the highest trim Gt is sold with zero active city safety technology (no active lane assist, no adaptive cruise control, no auto braking, nothing, even the perfume and massage options seems to be stolen from the car because they are not offered in that trim. It is so sad to see how big companies like peugeot can loose easily a market of 100 million citezen who were once (at times of 504, 305, 205, 104) a loyal fans of this brand.

[@cytrynowy_melon6604]

@Salt & Pepper Peugeot with 2.0 HDI diesel engines are very reliable (can do 1 million kms, aisin transmission are also generally good), while Mazda 2.2 diesel has some problems. So if you want reliability in case of Mazda, you have to get the gasoline. Which again, is too weak and lacks torque in non-turbo versions that are sold in Europe (2.0 & 2.5 gasoline). It is also heavily taxed (2.2 diesel and 2.5 gasoline), because it exceeds 2l capacity. So in Europe Peugeot is a better choice. Just do not get it with 1.6 PureTech/THP engine, which is unreliable.

[@sarahholding1315]

No I'm UK and wouldn't touch a french car

[@paultasker7788]

In UK reliability tests Peugeot is improving and has reached slightly above average with many of its newer products. Mazda is still way ahead though. But in terms of wow factor I'd never tired of sitting in the Peugeot. That said I hired a 308 hatch and hated the infotainment as everything needed the screen to control it, showed up finger prints as it was glossy screen and not very responsive either. So you might need to clean the screen often or it'll look awful. Not sure if 3008 has improved it.

[@harrymurray-jones219]

Peugeot is so much better

[@s.leochapman417]

The Peugeot 3008 is the only SUV I see on the road these days that doesn't elicit a sigh from me for sheer bland conformism. It's not hugely idiosyncratic, as many a French car of yore, but the design is bold, yet nicely resolved and prettily detailed. A damn sight more than most "premium" equivalents on the market. The interior is a visual delight too.

[@CharllesC78]

Great video mate! Do mind to share your background music tracks?

[@reko3103]

How's the glovebox on the 3008?

[@magmagmag9]

I say reliability is relative. It differs from one market to another as factors like brand recognition, second hand value, competition, market saturation, but most importantly climate comes into play. Peugeots might be reliable in more temperate climates like the Australia, UK or some parts of the world, but not so in tropical countries like Malaysia or Brazil for example. In Malaysia, Peugeots(perhaps French cars in general) are notorious for being extremely unreliable (especially the seals, gaskets, and of course the transmission) and expensive to repair. Most people blame the punishing tropical climate. While others simply blame it on the so called "European centric" design and engineering, a label that also applies to other Continental brands as well. Which holds some truth as most European cars are generally not engineered well enough to withstand the climate here. A reason why most Malaysians prefer Japanese, and our own Protons and Peroduas over Continental. The irony? PSA is using Malaysia as a base camp for their South East Asian campaign. So it's best to rely on reviews done by your respective local sources and take foreign content with a pinch of salt.

[@brismike56]

Australia has a temperate climate hahaha. Brisbane is subtropical and gets up to 38c or higher with lots of humidity. Some parts of Australia are closer to the Equator than some parts of Brazil.You are talking out of your arse mate.

Mazda is a gorgeous one (I have it) but the Peugeot is in other level. It has won several prices in Europe and is a hot sales for the French brand. Beautiful i cockpit design. And a BMW/ Peugeot engine made this SUV in an "Must be" product.

[@savvasneophytou5664]

Bmw engine? Can you explain please and which engine?

[@cytrynowy_melon6604]

@@savvasneophytou5664 He talks about 1.6 PureTech engine (its actually not PureTech, but old THP sold under new name). 1.6 THP is a joint-venture engine co-developed by Peugeot and BMW. It turned out to be very UNRELIABLE, and generally horrible engine (2.0 HDI diesel is much better). BMW dropped this engine, but Peugeot sadly still uses it. Avoid any Peugeot with 1.6 petrol engine, even if they tell you its the new "1.6 PureTech" - because its marketing term. 1.2 engine is true new "PureTech" family, 1.6 is THP sold under "PureTech" name. Both are not very reliable, but 1.6 is worse than 1.2 As i said earlier, 2.0 hdi is the best engine you can get with Peugeot/Citroen/DS.

I drive the old 3008, 2011 model. The 1.6 turbo engine is great. didnt like the ride now, its not as cushy as the latest one. Perhaps its the tires. but i do like the drive. So far I have been in the workshop for valve cover change, a couple of batteries, one a/c compressor change through out the years. Having had driven renaults before, my 3008 doesnt suffer much from electrical glitches. Fuel consumption is a bit on the poor side but maybe its just my heavy foot. All is still well and I wish the a/c would be cooler than normal. I compared it against some japanese make for reliability and parts service, its basically the same. Even cheaper. I wish there is a diesel on sale here.

[@vijith555]

The Peugeot 3008 top of the range model has a feature called 'Grip Control' where it lets you select a few off-road modes (Sand, snow etc.) which adjusts the traction control on the 2WD system to tackle most off-roads you will ever take one of these cars. So if you all think AWD makes the Mazda more off-road capable think again. And lookup the Grip Control mode demos it works like a charm and in fact praise Peugeot for developing something like that because now you delete the need for an AWD system and manage with this. None of these cars are ever going to do Land Cruiser off-roading so this is all you need for that occasional situation. I own the 2019 Peugeot 3008 GTLine top spec and must admit I have not been happier to drive any other car as much as this one.

Peugeot interior definitely futuristic and interesting but that's, all as far as I'm concerned! Mazda looks like it's in the luxury class, as opposed to the Peugeot, which looks positively more mainstream- for want of a better description. All Mazda needs now is the Apple/Android intergration, some cool air to go with the heated seats and lastly some more interior colours for those lovely leather facings. They already smash the competition! Add the above amendments and they would pretty much be untouchable in class. By the way, has anyone else here seen some of their concepts at the Tokyo motor show? Absolutely, sublime me thinks! ;)

[@pvaz]

beat spacek I’d say the Mazda is more feminine lines, sort of what you expect from Italian cars, while the Peugeot is European but heavily inspired by the American muscle cars. The rear looks a lot like the Ford Mustang. I’d be happy with either, I think that are both good looking and stand out from most other SUVs.

In Malaysia, it's difficult to maintain these French cars such as Citroen, Peugeot. Main reason would be climate. But these reasons could be valid in the 80s or 90s. But for now it's been a standard manufacturing for all the Continent by French companies. Yet why they still can't compete with Japanese cars in terms of sales in Malaysia. Theain reason would be Chinese dominated market in Malaysia for the automobile industry. Toyota and Honda have major shares of the Chinese community in Malaysia and also China cars. Although these Japanese and China cars have nothing to offer, yet we Malaysians still pay a high price for empty tins. As for the French car sales dilema in Malaysia, it always have a case of sabotaging the after sales of the French cars at which the maintenance costs are simply hiked up by Chinese business men so that the Japanese cars would sell well in Malaysia. But when comparing to specs and technical details of Japanese and French cars, the French are far more superior in terms or technology and engineering whereas the Japanese cars has nothing to offer rather than some funky facelifts with the same engines under the hood for the next 5 years. But why still choose the Japanese ? It's because the maintenance costs have been standardized and kept at a low margine so that the Chinese can monopolize the automobile industry with low quality Japanese and China cars. Same goes to Proton which is a Malaysian made car. The build quality is one of the worst of it's kind. But in the end, the government hiked up the import car taxes so that I the people would not be able to afford high quality European or the on top of average Japanese cars, and forced to buy Proton because of the lower price which is a cheap plastic basically. And good news is, a Chinese car manufacturer have already bought over Proton and back to square 1, the Chinese Monopoly is in the Malaysian market again. We hope the future and people perspective would change towards European cars and also the after service cost could be brought to an affordable margin and not simply hiked up so that the people could afford good cars in Malaysia .

[@brucelee1987]

Maybe the Peugeot is nicer inside and more practical, but I just can't help but wonder if it will be reliable? Will people have problems in 5 yeara?

[@Dirt4Ride]

The Mazda's engine is product by PSA (-> Peugeot's owner) and french mechanic is reliable for sure

[@PaulHojda]

Where did you get that from?? Mazda has absolutely no connection to Peugeot. All of Mazda's current skyactiv petrol and diesel engines are their own design.

[@LR-us1go]

Paul Hojda Peugeot and Ford made the duratorq engines together ( apart from the 1.8 tdci which is a ford engine ), and when Mazda was fords property Mazda used peugeot/ford engines, so the dv6 1.6 diesel, and also the 2.0 diesels, and in Australia the ford territory uses the 2.7 diesel from Peugeot 607 Citroen c6 Land Rover disco and Range Rover sport and loads of jags ( since jaguar at the time was owned by ford ) you’re welcome ;)

[@PTZOUTZ]

Louis Rennles some people don’t really know anything about the car industry but post comments about reliability 😀😀😀

[@ScreamingEagle101st]

3008 is the best !

[@PTZOUTZ]

Falic gear selector? I thought you got used to them from BMW’s?? No?? 😂😂

[@chernfoo1319]

各有特色，各中取巧的话。 就完美了～～ For me, no doubt. Mazda. But I impressed by the interior design of Peugeot! Good looking!

[@tazwarhossain5283]

The cx5 with the blue exterior colour just looks horrible!!

[@dukacosmic]

The presenter it's not here to tell us which one is better, but still he didn't failed to mention it a couple of times.

[@storyclips]

The cx5 is more of a competitor to the Peugeot 5008.

[@Carolinebitutu]

Somebody gift me this Peugeot, I loooooooove it

[@rynomuncher]

Mazda STILL doesn't have Apple carplay/Android auto so it's a hard pass from me.

[@PTZOUTZ]

rynomuncher it doesn’t match well with the analog dials so they thought better to leave car play out, too futuristic 😂😂😂😂😂

[@andrewazarov2717]

Mazda interior looks so outdated. Like you returned in 1990,

[@user-fi6hu3py3i]

Andrew Azarov didn't know they already have the touch screen back then.. congrats mazda.. impressive

[@LitepointX22]

three criteria looks, practicality, performance...,.."and if you don't need 4wd.". Come on

[@pummyy]

People are fools they will buy what they see without knowing its value. Mazda isnt bad but there are better options out there.

[@BB-mt2xb]

Peugeot 3008 don’t have awd👎🏻 Mazda is beautiful (Soul Red) ❤️🔥

[@royaltylw5347]

The cx5 is beginning to look old in my opinion, the quality is better in the cx5

[@johnnywires943]

you cant go head to head with the mazda cx5.the mazda wins on all accounts.is the pug 3008 a good car?well it looks the part but one thing you cant clean easy from french cars is reliability.the are well known for being unreliable.if you do like the 3008,my advice would be to wait about a year and a bit and buy it at half the price.the mazda also holds its value more.

[@mazdaneo1]

I just dumped my Peugeot 3008 for good after countless problems from oil leaks to transmission to expensive replacement parts. I just got a Mazda CX5 2.0 with 3 years free maintainance and 5 yrs warranty. I just stick back to Japanese reliable brand. No more continental cars

[@cynga6067]

felix liew what year is your 3008?

[@mazdaneo1]

Cy Nga Mine was 2011 model. Countless problems esp oil leaks and engine light keep poping out. After 3 years warranty over still the same . After a final hefty bill.. sold it for good

[@cynga6067]

felix liew got it. I must say Peugeot's car in the last 10 odd years were not that impressive until the last few years, they really picking themselves up and producing high quality cars again just like this new 3008, first SUV to be crowned European Car of the year and sole over 300,000 in Europe since it's launch. The feedback has been positive and I have one myself just bought last month, amazing car really. Go for a test drive mate, this Peugeot is best in the class imo, you might agree with me after the test drive aye

[@mazdaneo1]

Cy Nga thanks for your recommendation. Appreciated it. However i just got my Mazda3 and CX5.. it going to be a while before I'm changing my ride again. Have fun with ur new ride.

[@petrileskinen4299]

Peugeot 3008 from the year of 2011 did have a BMW made THP engine which did have few problems. German quality is the biggest joke in car industry.

[@AndreBrokman]

Shouldn’t it be Peugeot “three double oh eight”?

[@Drivecomau]

We checked that, actually, and the local arm asked us to say "three thousand eight". Not even "three thousand AND eight"! - Mike S

[@AndreBrokman]

CarAdvice.com I like that you checked. The name is a bit clunky in my opinion - ‘three double oh eight’ almost reminds me of James Bond’s double oh seven. Maybe that’s why they can’t officially continue their non-SUV naming system (eg the “two oh eight”).

[@ssfrdfdfgymlbsavgmixalhsni1653]

the Peugeot 3008 is the better suv ever in this price

[@unicogrande5485]

3008 la mejor

[@johnnychiu198]

The Mazda is getting very boring....3008 is 100 times better looking car inside out but with an very disappointing tiny engine with no real power for overtaking

[@PTZOUTZ]

Johnny Chiu I have overtaken 150 cars pretty easily in the two months I own a 1.5 diesel one. Talking from your ar..e again??

[@zoranns]

Are you serious about overtaking? You really need something faster kzbin.info/www/bejne/kGWTmoOVhpV1n7M

[@TerraThink]

177 horse power is no real power? (2.0 HDi diesel engine)

[@gerardopietrantoni6452]

I’ll take the Mazda! Good basic review.

[@mouchard700]

Are u serious? Peugeot of crs. Mazda, ford, land rover, range rover, ect have psa engine (peugeot).

[@lucast9806]

never again a peugeot for me¡¡, problems

[@abbasmasry]

which model , and what kind of problems

[@abdulln1439]

Peugeot is not well known of its durability, actually it is more of a headache in this regard. So Mazda wins in my book.

[@PTZOUTZ]

Abdullah Waqdan great research Abdullah!! 😂😂😂😂😂

[@elavaro09]

mazda cx5!!

[@francoisvola3611]

You also have to consider the reliability of the CX5 made in Japan vs the so so reliability of the Peugeot made in France and or Malaysia. I personally went for the impressive reliability and the superb handling of the CX5 www.whatcar.com/mazda/cx-5/estate/used-review/n947 www.whatcar.com/peugeot/3008/estate/used-review/n842/advice

[@nkosicollier4984]

I prefer the Mazda. To me it's much more better looking 🙄

[@prashantvimal871]

i agree !

[@ThunderWindz]

You only look at it 3% of the time... the rest 97% you are driving it..

[@Dongzzzzzz]

ThunderWindz who says that Mazdas are boring? Heck even the Mazda 2 is fun to drive.

[@ThunderWindz]

Comon... look at peugeot 3008... the digital instrument cluster. The buttons from a Lamborghini aventador.. the quality is amazing, and no one can compete.

[@MrWalker1000]

Exterior is better on Mazda while interior is better the peugot

[@aib0160]

The funky looking Peugeot will date very quickly and French cars have very dubious build quality and reliability.

[@harrymurray-jones219]

Peugeot is far superior to crazy mazda

[@johnnywires943]

First,i dont know about Aussieland but the Nissan Qashqai was car of the year when it first came out and me thinks it got that award for 3 years running.The pug does look great but dont buy it new.Wait 2 years and save a shit load of money buying it when its 2 years old.The Mazda is really great and it does hold its value.In Europe the saying is if you want an suv outside of europe the mazda is the one to go for in its class.If you want a European one,then its the VW Tiquan.

[@kevgits]

I've observed that most ladies prefer the Peugeot probably coz of 2:53. I would go with the CX5 any day.
