Matthias Hossan, design director at Peugeot, is very proud of the result: “We are on a vehicle that is closer to concept car than a standard vehicle that we can see on our roads.» The claws that start from the headlights and descend on the shield and the absence of rubber around the windows give it a high -end look with better finishes.
New Peugeot 3008, the lion reinvents its SUV Star
Jérôme Chont takes you to meet the new Peugeot 3008, the third generation of the brand’s star from the Lion to the lion. What changes have been made outside as within the passenger compartment ? Our journalist reveals all its specifics to you.
New Peugeot 3008, a strong and differentiating visual impact
That the 3008 aficionados are reassured: the new model remains a SUV. Its lines are sharper, like a sportswoman. Its size takes an additional 9 cm, but the vehicle still has a compact look despite its 4.54 meters long. Undoubtedly, this new 3008 causes a strong and differentiating visual impact.

It is especially inside that the passionate of 3008 awaited the third generation at the turn. Gaëtan Demoulin, project manager of the Peugeot 3008, was keen to create “WOW effect”: “There has been a lot of energy that has been devoted to this aspect.»
And inside, magic operates. The interior of the first and second generation were already particularly developed and design, but on this new model, we go to the upper level. It gives its owner the feeling of being in his living room with the quality gray fabric on the dashboard and the magnificent seats in which he and his passengers take place. The floating screen confirms its latest -crying technological side. The small steering wheel is adjustable, but now allows you to see the screen almost entirely, positioned much higher than before.
Jérôme Chont is particularly convinced by the alliance between comfort and practicality. For him, for sure: this new 3008 will attract customers !
New Peugeot 3008: three electric versions and one thermal
The new PEUGEOT 3008 Electric will offer three powers: 210 or 230 hp in 2 -wheel drive and 230 hp in 4 -wheel drive. The autonomy promises to go up to 700 km, enough to fear a price exceeding € 50,000 … A thermal version will also be offered for minimum € 35,000. Now remains to try the car to make sure that the Peugeot Star SUV is worth this price ! Expected release in spring 2024.

New Peugeot 3008
Unveiled on September 12, its profile will be inspired by those of the coupé SUVs, while its engines will use both hybridization and total electrification.
Peugeot 3008 current
Launched in 2016, before being restyled in 2021, its lines dignified the assaults of time, while it still enjoys a nice panel of engines, ranging from a 48V hybridization to accumulating rechargeable variants from 180 at 300 hp.

He intends to set up by sight via his new I-Cockpit environment including a panel of 21 “, the widest currently available on the market.

Still in a stylistic point of view, his dashboard, however, accuses the blow to the multimedia chapter.
Replacing a bestseller turns out to be double-edged for any car manufacturer. Between need to innovate and concern not to shake up the customers acquired from their cause, it is a question of positioning the cursor in the right place. And the Peugeot 3008 compressor roller, a long time remained number one in its category, does not escape this questioning as its designers hope to extend the party.
A real shot SUV coupé ?
From the outset, when we discover the silhouette of the new lion SUV, we will take the measure of the architectural risk orchestrated by its designers. Abandoning the classic, typical break profile of its competitors (Renault Austral, Volkswagen Tiguan, Nissan Qashqai, etc.), he will not fail to praise his family clientele by his profile of coupe inspired by the Renault Arkana. To this ready that the new 3008 plays it more subtle than its competitor of the diamond by starting its fall in the pavilion downstream from the rear passengers, from the tailgate summit. It is therefore a false coupe that should skillfully spare style and habitability. However, the account will no longer be there for saturation enthusiasts of the trunk to the ceiling, with regard to the intense inclination of the rear telescope.
No more trunk, but what about modularity ?
The unknown remains as to the dimensions of this new model which, however, should at least win 5 to 6 cm in length to reach the template of the Renault Austral (4.51 m). Consequently, under tablet, we bet that the chest volume of the 3008 cuvée 2024 will happily exceed 520 l cubes by its predecessor. In addition, it would rather be inspired by the idea of stalling on the modularity standards – rare in this segment – established by its competitor of the diamond which benefits from a sliding rear bench in two parts (⅔ -⅓). A tip that would allow it to substantially increase the luggage carrying capacity, but Peugeot generally leaves Citroën to offer this type of equipment. From then on, let us wait for the renewal of a fixed seat on this new 3008.
A new I-Cockpit that will have to prove itself
By migrating rear seats to that of the driver, we will observe the sensitive moult of its I-Cockpit module. Better ? Yes and no, probably. The positive point should come from the elevation of information facing the driver, and previously masked in part by the top of the steering wheel. A recurring symptom on Sochalian models, unless you lower the steering column to its lowest level, at the risk of swapping the driving position. This new curved screen will have the particularity of displaying the large format of automotive production (21 ”), bringing together the two screens that previously formed the I-Cockpit environment. But the reverse of the medal could come from its distance from passengers likely to exaggerately tender the arm to activate a function. A point that we will not fail to check when lifting the sail.
Multipically electrified
Finally, it is under the hood that the 3008 will make its revolution, under cover of total electrification. According to our colleagues from the Magazine Automobile, the newcomer will extend its electromotive panel from 115 to 285 kW (155 to 380 hp), from two to four -wheel drive, while the battery capacities will offer 60 to 85 kWh in 85 kWh in View of approaching the 600 km of autonomy. A technical feat made possible by the developments conceded to its EMP2 platform, soon called Stla Medium, also endowed with hybridization with several levels. In addition to the renewal of the 136 hp 48V block, recently inaugurated by the current 3008, this base should have a rechargeable variant combined exclusively 200 hp against 180, 225 and even 300 hp to date. Clearly, the PHEV versions will no longer be part of the priorities of the compact lion SUV.
New Peugeot 3008 price
The current 3008 still has a bright future ahead of him, his replacement not being expected in concessions before spring 2024. It will be an opportunity to make business in concession by betting on the end of life of the vehicle to better negotiate its price. Currently available from € 35,320, let us bet that the one who will succeed him will once again inflate the addition with a basic price potentially located around € 37,000.
