Peugeot 3008 (09 on) - Review Review by David Ross on 03 December 2009 Last Updated: 19 April 2012 What happens if you combine a normal hatchback, an off-roader and a compact people carrier? According to Peugeot you end up with the 3008, a family car that aims to appeal to those looking for something different. It's not a new formula, the Nissan Qashqai was the first successful 'crossover' as they've come to be known. The 3008 is perhaps not as stylish as the Qashqai, but it makes up for it with a more practical and family-friendly interior. It has a large and versatile boot, a useful split tailgate with a bottom section that flips down like a pick-up plus plenty of passenger space in the back. It's reassuring to drive too with well-weighted steering, a superb ride and strong engines, in particular the HDi diesels. Add in impressive levels of refinement plus a quality cabin and the 3008 makes plenty of sense. 4 out of 5 Other Peugeot reviews Summary Facts & Figures Equipment Driving & Performance Comfort Costs Safety & Reliability Buying & Selling Also Consider Company Car Info Owners' Reviews Gallery 4 out of 5 Summary Tweet New price range: £17,195 - £28,495 View all new prices Used price range: £7,258 - £24,528 View all used prices See 44 new models for sale from £13,060 Get a Peugeot 3008 (09 on) information pack Next steps Peugeot 3008 cars for sale Use our cars for sale search facility to find great deals on second hand cars.
