ONCE GRACING A family-friendly MPV, the 3008 badge has come to signify one of the most popular family SUVs, and its meaning is about to change again.
The new Peugeot 3008 is a sleek ‘fastback’ SUV with choice at its core; there’ll be petrol and plug-in hybrid variants, as well as three pure electric e-3008s.
The top Long Range version promises a range of up to 435 miles from a big, 98kWh (usable) battery. It’s joined by a 73kWh (usable) standard model and a dual-motor, four-wheel-drive version, both of which officially manage 326 miles between top-ups.
In spite of its new sloping roofline, the 3008 is said to be just as practical for a family of five. Inside, the digital driver’s display forms a unit with the central infotainment screen, and a row of 10 customisable shortcut buttons on the dashboard can be set to perform specific functions – anything from turning on the heated seats to phoning home.
