I don’t normally watch car related videos but I have a new 3008 hybrid on order and so I was keen to watch your review. I must say I really enjoyed not only the content but your presenting style and candid opinion. I currently have a 3008 and love it so I imagine the new one (due in a couple of weeks) will not disappoint.

[@trick1838]

how long did you have to wait for delivery, i ordered mine in march still not got a date.

[@JonCoupland]

Welcome aboard! Thanks for your comment - genuinely humbled - enjoy!

[@MrCAPTCripple]

Great review, seen a few from a few other KZbinrs, but your review was by far the best, and most thorough. So much so, that I have both just ordered one this morning, (approx 4 weeks till delivery) and subbed to your channel. Keep up the amazing content 👍

[@JonCoupland]

Glad it was helpful! Many thanks for the kind words

[@patricktoner7110]

I enjoyed your review of the E3008 I have ordered mine 2 weeks ago through Motability they have a great deal I’m looking forward to getting it delivered.

[@JonCoupland]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@simon2468dale]

Got ours last week love it

[@patricktoner7110]

@@simon2468dale I was told I would have to wait until December because of the backlog but got an email last week saying it will be ready to pick up the end of September 🤞.

[@Boss-zo4lw]

What waste deal? And did a wheelchair fit in the boot?

[@Dr.Q960]

Ordering one today best I've seen in class bravo Peugeot great review mate👍🏻

[@JonCoupland]

Good choice! Enjoy 😊

[@Potto12]

Where in the country did you manage to get that?!

[@leighdave1]

Nice review I ordered mine through motability as they had good deals on it. I'm pretty sure thats the motor under the bonnet batteries are in chassis under seats. I also like the way the doors covered the seals keeping the seals clean no more dirty legs in the winter.

[@JonCoupland]

Yes the batteries are in the cab but I wasn't going to start ripping it up to show you 🤣 (although that would be fun!) - the motor bit proves a point that it's EV - that's all 😁 I think Motability scheme is a good way of getting one. I think the door seal design did lead to increased road noise overall. I hope you enjoy yours 😁 thanks for watching

[@beejaybhatt]

I’m buying one of these. And there is a heated steering wheel on the gt as standard! Thanks for the wonderful review!

[@JonCoupland]

Ah i stand corrected! I sadly didnt get to find it - thanks for watching - hope you enjoy yours!

[@sabeehb9514]

Great video, love your enthusiasm for the speed testing ! Can I ask, am thinking of perhaps getting one but the hybrid version and the roads near me are crazy bumpy ! How was it over bumpy roads ? And I guess it will be better than that with slightly smaller 19 inch wheels that the hybrid comes with ?

[@JonCoupland]

Thanks for watching! Obviously i was being precautious as it wasnt my car BUT i test drove this mainly on the old bumpy backroads of Lincolnshire and it was great! As you say, the larger wheels would make a difference, i think you will be fine! The ONLY bump i recall that was nasty was over a humped railway line and i approached it too quickly in hindsight!

[@danielrussell446]

Well done Jon a great video and a very good review of the 3008 I have seen one recently in the blue metallic as I have a Peugeot 308 now They look really nice cars and very typical of the current Peugeot design language sadly a bit beyond me price wise. I have driven the e208 and e2008 which I really enjoyed driving and agree with what you say about the ev driving experience For me the small steering wheel and I cockpit is fine but I am shorter only 5’11’’ and was weird to start with but I am used to it now the idea is to look down over the small wheel to the dials and it takes a few times to get things right As Victoria has a 208 it is easy for us to transfer between cars but my brothers who are your height have had similar issues All in all a great car and a brilliant review wonder what your dad thinks! All the best to you all Daniel

[@JonCoupland]

Thanks for watching Daniel :)

[@stevenrandall3439]

Picking mine up Friday

[@JonCoupland]

Ah fantastic! I hope you enjoy 😊👍

[@seltaeb3302]

I've bought 3.

[@TK42138]

Good review. That cost almost as much as my first house did in 1997. Wonder what demographic Peugeot are aiming this at? The exterior bulk highlights a problem that's common to most new cars - the SUV/crossover shape is inherently an inefficient shape for interior packaging and it's like an inverse TARDIS effect; big on the outside, smaller on the inside. I dislike this trend of ever heavier cars and EV's certainly aren't helping. When cars start weighing more than some mid-sized panel vans or old school 4x4's that's not progress.

[@JonCoupland]

Its certainly a costly thing - i think people will get this on either PCP or the Motability Scheme :)

[@renardargent6487]

And THAT's just one reason why I do NOT like the "styling" (sic) of Pug's 2008. Why? The entire front end looks too big....out of proportion for the body which exacerbates the tiny windows😏 Merde🤢

[@huwdavies6650]

If you want a little more room in the back, they have just unveiled the 7 seat E 5008.

[@JonCoupland]

Oooh sounds interesting

[@Oklm23]

The e5008 looks even better too in my opinion

[@kevinhutchinson5253]

Fab review, thanks

[@JonCoupland]

Thanks for watching!

[@lymegreencrew]

I have a black gt on order I've seen lots of reviews and yours is probably best one so far i do have a question this will be my first car do you think the size of the car will be OK to drive i have the 360°camera pack also. And again your a fantastic reviewer

[@JonCoupland]

Thanks for your kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed the review and I really hope you enjoy your car when it arrives. I think like everything you will get used to it. The 360 pack really really helped 😊👍

[@bradjohnson1627]

Enjoyed the review, surprised how cramped the rear seats are. 😮

[@JonCoupland]

Thanks for watching. Yes I was surprised at how there was such little space in such a big car!

[@huwdavies6650]

​@JonCoupland the previous generation was also a bit cramped in the back. I think the results of market research with families as the target market resulted in a bigger boot at the expense of rear leg room. Kids don't need as much space.

[@Nick_of_Windsor]

Thanks Jon. Was curious to see how you got on with the i-cockpit steering wheel. Am a few inches shorter and think that would obscure even more of the display, which i wouldn't be keen on. I guess that also applies to the non electric version as well. Interesting to see if the forthcoming Vauxhall version is a lot better from that aspect. Cheers.

[@allanbriggs9007]

There are no difficulties with the i-cockpit and steering wheel. There is plenty of adjustment for both the steering wheel and seat, irrespective of your height.

[@Nick_of_Windsor]

@@allanbriggs9007 Thanks for the reply Allan. I guess the real world test is to find a Peugeot I might buy with an i-cockpit set-up (possibly the current 2008) and give it a try.

[@allanbriggs9007]

@@Nick_of_Windsor When I went to buy a 2022 3008 I read some of the negative press about the i-cockpit. I am 6ft tall and my wife is 5ft 2" - The salesman was approx 5ft 6". I messed up the seating configuration and got each of us to find a comfortable position where you could also see the instrument panel. None of us took more than a minute. The trick was to make sure you were adjusting both the steering wheel and the seat at the same time. When I asked what all the fuss was about he said two words - THE DRIVER. He said he was astounded how many drivers did not know how to properly adjust the seating position. BTW the small steering wheel is a delight to use - light yet reasonably precise. The wife loves it, especially around town.

[@Nick_of_Windsor]

@@allanbriggs9007 . Thanks for this advice Allan. Will bear it in mind when I go looking.

[@JonCoupland]

i have to disagree - there were no sensible combinations of steering wheel to seat position which meant i could see the icockpit in its entirety sadly

[@alexdalgleish1061]

While I’m not blind to their faults despite owning an EV, if it has typical French depreciation you won’t get a cheaper nearly new 300 mile EV wouldn’t have thought. Then with a £40k budget for example it’s then down to personal taste.

[@JonCoupland]

Absolutely

[@huwdavies6650]

There is a company that makes mattresses tailored to the back of your car so that you can go camping in the boot of your car.

[@JonCoupland]

Thats brill!

[@thehitman906]

Hi Jon how did you get a 48 hour test drive did you have to put a big deposit down that you get back once you give the car back

[@JonCoupland]

Hi there 👍👋 Peugeot approached me and offered me the car to review - you would have to speak to your local dealership and see what they can offer you - they have told me a 48h test drive is available

[@Taz-wf4jl]

These heavy electric cars are going to destroy UK Roads. They’re just not built for them.

[@JonCoupland]

They certainly are very heavy!

[@johnhal1]

Plus, wear and tear on the tyres will be heavier than a petrol car

[@dadys31]

If you think this is heavy check out the Peugeot E -5008😂

[@davidbarber6268]

But HGV’s average 44 tons which is equivalent to 22 e3008’s !

[@jandmath]

You’ll find there’s way heavier cars than this driving around…

[@3443cookie]

the 20inch rims are only on the GT model

[@JonCoupland]

Yes :)

[@3443cookie]

@@JonCoupland Sorry I didn't mean to come across as rude. I only know because we are picking our one up next Monday. I personally think its a great looking car.

[@JonCoupland]

@@3443cookie Not at all! - Handy to clarify for people - enjoy your new car :)

[@johnathanpearson3203]

Why not buy a petrol engine with vvt and not loose 70 miles with the air con on?

[@JonCoupland]

It's an option eh. Sadly I was given the EV to test 😁🤦‍♂️

[@hhgttg69]

20" wheels/tyres is a hard no. 16" are bad enough.

[@JonCoupland]

They are massive eh

[@J500ANT]

If you press the SOS button does it play ABBA? 😂

[@JonCoupland]

Maybe!

[@renardargent6487]

IF it did, then THAT would be an instant no buy🤢

[@seltaeb3302]

Its ridiculous that you cant sit in the back, unless you are a dwarf or a child, yet its a big looking car. Like a Tardis in reverse. I'd rather buy a Dacia Jogger which is a Tardis seating 4 adults & 3 children with enough room for your knees.

[@JonCoupland]

I had the seat in my driving position and yes - the room behind me was miniscule

[@adamski101]

Meh, who cares about the back seats unless you have grown up kids. Give me a 911 any day lol. However who in their right mind would rather have a Dacia Jogger over a Pug 3008??😂

[@pablogodi1392]

All the seat position and leg space measurement fragment is absurd. You should be taller than Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to be seated like that

[@JonCoupland]

👍

[@Bond2025]

useless review without time and cost of charging

[@JonCoupland]

Probably ... I'm assuming you watched the whole thing?

[@interceptor-ss8kb]

I still can't get over how hideous that car is from the front.

[@JonCoupland]

That grill honestly would be an absolute nightmare to clean

[@interceptor-ss8kb]

Also noticed the actual boot opening is pretty narrow but saying that I drive a larger Estate car so everything will look small in comparison 😂

[@johnathanpearson3203]

As cars get older could you find out how much a 12v battery costs for this car, or say an air con unit?

[@allanbriggs9007]

@@JonCoupland Yep the grill is a pain to clean but that's a minor detail.

[@adamski101]

It's great looking from all angles and Range Rovers aside it's by far the best looking SUV on the roads. Practically all the others look ugly from at least one angle.

[@normanstephens5391]

That car is not for me.

[@JonCoupland]

Now ive sat an thought about it and let it sink in - me either BUT it was nice to drive and certainly will be a contender in the EV market this year
