Peugeot 3008 verdict

What we like
We love the stylish, unorthodox design of the 3008 that really helps to set it aside from the competition. The interior also feels genuinely premium and has the wow factor that helps to make it feel more special than a typical family SUV. The 1.2-litre hybrid engine is also pleasantly efficient and is a big improvement over the e-3008.
What we don’t like
Peugeot seems to have forgotten about the need to make the 3008 spacious. Rear-seat space is cramped considering how big the car is, and a lack of flexibility in the cabin makes it compromised next to most rivals. While much cheaper than the electric e-3008, it’s still among the most expensive car in its class. There are some ergonomic grumbles about the interior and our brand-new test car had a few quality concerns with a faulty sat nav and boot release falling out.
