A step backwards? 2025 Peugeot 3008 1.2 hybrid review

[@seancotter4610]

I was in Paris a few weeks back and these were everywhere. Looks have grown on me and I really like the interior. We’re happily running a 2023 408 as our 2nd car. I think I actually prefer this!

[@kaybe3044]

3:22 It's actually the other way around for left hand drive cars too. So center console is always facing the wrong way. Love to see it.

[@mattrichardson3706]

I have this Hybrid and I LOVE it!!!!

[@chriscosky]

Please how does the rear wipers work as its got none at the back lol

[@pauldempsey4981]

“Should you get one?” Let’s find out if it’s got a WET BELT engine, an external timing belt, or a proper timing chain. Google says it’s a wet belt design. That would be a rapid and easy NO from me then.

[@mattyjamess7818]

It's a chain now

[@pauldempsey4981]

@@mattyjamess7818 Well colour me shocked! TY for clarifying.

[@TeoSluga]

You are wrong. You want to Google it again, this time more thoroughly perhaps. 1.2 Puretech uses chain from 2024 onwards.

[@pauldempsey4981]

@@TeoSluga Take it personally?

[@blakaeg]

You obviously didn’t look properly! It’s not a wet belt design for this car.

[@Tocaavaaaaa]

This peugeot is perfect, I’ve always loved peugeot 🥰

[@jamiep61]

I enjoyed watching the video review 😊

You have put your finger on the real problem in the world. “Divide and Rules” is so detrimental to peace and stability. Thank you Professor Sachs.

[@waruswaller1580]

Does it drive as good as its older model 2018?

[@chriscosky]

I ordered the electric version last year September and it arrived this month. I am so much in love with this car, very smooth and luxurious. Please can you show me how to operate the rear windshield wipers. Thanks

[@adriches406]

The 408 you have there is on the old emp2 platform and has a much lower weight. Be interested on a comparison of the two.

[@DamienMcAvoy]

Would you do a video comparing 2008, 4008, and 5008 when they are similar price points? Preferably used. We tend to shop to a budget so it’s nice to have options of lower spec bigger car v higher spec smaller car.

[@louisesmallwood9137]

Had the car for 4 months, a few cons for me. No rear wiper, no low water sensor for water wipers, which is a nightmare when you’re on the motorway in the winter and the water just runs out with no warning, the water tank is only small compared to others. Some journeys through towns etc for 30 miles and no miles used on electric, same journey some days it can do 10/11 miles on electric. Map/sat nav has no indication of traffic jams , diversions, road works etc, so no way of avoiding beforehand. Its my first Peugeot, I don’t think i’ll be having another one.

[@tonywoodford8296]

Should never got rid of the 1.5 diesel engine. Had one of 4, year's but not suitable for disabled people so have now got a 5008 1.5 diesel great motor, don't now what to get next at the moment nothing is suitable for a wheelchair.

[@neman.bassplayer]

2.0 is much better. And an old 1.6 eHdi was reliable too. Got c4 with 1.6 for 12 years. No engine problems at all

[@EyeOfTheTiger777]

I ordered the silver which... now kinda looks gray. I am unsure in my choice, sigh. :( I thought it would be more shiny kinda. What can you say Mr. Motorpoint? Maybe it looks rather nice in some weather conditions?

[@oliverlondon5246]

Sensible to go hybrid. The rear of the car looks very ugly though and the coupe shape is utter rubbish. For that price, I’d never buy a Peugeot. Sorry

[@tonywoodford8296]

Should never got rid of the 1.5 diesel engine, and you can't fit a wheelchair horst in it, I've had a 3008 for 4, year's never let me down, now have a 5008, 1.5 diesel great car, I we are a few but most of these vehicles are not suitable for disabled users.

Wow! Looks great! Bravo Peugeot

[@auraman1000]

Is this screen touching and poking really safe when driving I would prefer the piano keys like on the previous model.

Some say the mk1 3008 was ugly as in but this goes to new levels of eye soreness.

[@ISuperTed]

Still not sure what Peugeot are on with their pricing. Who is going to buy this car at anywhere near that price? I’m sure there will be massive discounts, but even then it’s expensive and impractical for such a big car. Sorry, but it’s a non for me.

Peugeot 3008 Is Like Renault Astral

[@cunawarit]

Over the past 25 years or so, most Peugeots I've driven have felt like a step backwards-a regression to a less refined era. In the 1990s and early 2000s, they came across as flimsy, almost like tin cans on wheels. Driving them felt like a journey back to East Germany, where vehicles were built to meet the constraints of a rigid, minimalist budget. Unfortunately, even today, they seem hopelessly outdated. The build quality remains lightweight and insubstantial, and they lack the power and refinement of other modern cars that either aren't constrained by tight budgets or aren't as heavily impacted by EU emissions regulations. The same applies to Fiat, Renault, Jeep, and Citroen.

[@MelchizedekKohen]

Have you driven a new one? sounds like you haven't driven a pug since 1995 mate 🤦‍♂️

[@cunawarit]

@MelchizedekKohen yes, a few.

[@jdmguy44]

@cunawarit You're talking the biggest pile of BS ever and clearly not talking from any real world experience. I run a late 2023 Peugeot 2008 as my primary daily car. Had from new and has been faultless so far. The build and finish is excellent. Far nicer than the German equivalents like a T Cross which I looked at, in terms of design flair and material quality. The tech is excellent as well and works well. It drives well and is certainly refined and comfortable.

[@jdmguy44]

​@@MelchizedekKohenclearly not me thinks.

[@cunawarit]

@@jdmguy44 I disagree. And I think this is the end of the conversation, because you can still say 100 times I'm lying and it is going to lead nowhere.

[@vp272]

Coupe design to get most families to spend more and upgrade to the 5008

[@motorpoint]

Oh you're so cynical! I completely agree 🤣 -Tim

[@elliex20]

Nice!

[@mysgd02]

Big Peugeot 3008 in the past BUT they have shoved this vehicle up the price range the new model is inferior to what was produced in 2019 so now Tavares has gone slash these prices and sell the petrol/ hybrids please.

[@Avrilmaep]

Burning stuff isn’t the way to go

[@Panhattan]

I have exactly the same model. After 7 months, I can say that the car looks really nice but the quality of the car is awful. Plenty of issues, noises,..not worth it whatsoever!

[@johnhaynes9910]

The "Jacket of Power" serves up another car review on yet another forgetable SUV. Do you have a cheat sheet to tell which one you are in Tim ? Oh and the free green paint looks far better :)

[@rc666]

Trés agreable.

[@pigeonpoo1823]

Id have mine in Dessert Island Blue and with a Ford badge on it. Anyways, has everyone seen the hideous leds that now frame the 7er grille? I nearly crashed as i simultaneously threw up in my mouth and burst out laughing. Well done bmw. You somehow made the 7er worse.
