Overview

The Peugeot 3008 has been a hugely important model for this French firm, with the second-generation model – introduced in 2016 – being among the best family SUVs on the market owing to its stylish design, broad engine choice and practical interior. 

With more than 1.3 million examples sold since then, Peugeot hopes this new third-generation 3008 can repeat that success. It arrives in showrooms in 2024 with striking new coupe-like styling (Peugeot calls it a fastback) and a radical new interior design that you can expect to see rolled out on future Peugeots. 

The other crucial part of this new SUV is that it’s available as an electric car for the first time, the e-3008. It’s a key rival to other electric SUVs in this class, such as the Nissan Ariya, Tesla Model Y and Skoda Enyaq Coupe. It’s worth noting that the new 3008 is also sold as a mild-hybrid and plug-in hybrid as part of Peugeot’s ‘power of choice’ mantra. 

‘The Peugeot e-3008 is smart and desirable, but it’s also ambitiously priced against some seriously premium rivals.’

Keith Adams, Parkers Editor

The e-3008 is an important car for many reasons, but not least because it’s the first to be built on Peugeot’s owner Stellantis’ new platform, which will be used in a wide range of models Vauxhall and Citroen as well as Peugeot in the coming years. It launches with a generously-sized 73kWh battery, allowing for a claimed 326 miles of range. It will also be available in 2025 in a ‘Long Range’ form with a massive 98kWh battery unlocking a claimed 422 miles from a charge – by far the most of any car of this size. 

The e-3008 is available in two trim levels – Allure and GT. Standard equipment is generous, including 19-inch alloy wheels, keyless entry, a reversing camera and the impressive new 21-inch panoramic display that merges a digital instrument cluster with a large touchscreen.

Top-spec GT models bring 20-inch alloys, an Alcantara interior and advanced pixel Matrix LED headlights. In terms of pricing, the e-3008 is positioned towards the top end of this segment, which is a bold move by Peugeot in a market packed with premium-badged rivals.

So can the Peugeot e-3008 justify its price, and given Peugeot is calling it the ‘most significant launch in many years’, can it live up to the hype? We’ve given it a comprehensive going over both abroad and in the UK, and you can find out just how thoroughly by reading how we test cars.
