An SUV that makes its driver one with the car
The SUV market is booming and the all new Peugeot 3008 SUV made its mark from day one. As a Wesbank Coty finalist, and appealing to demanding customers, it represents a new dynamic for the brand.
Whether it is because of its spectacular latest-generation Peugeot i-Cockpit, or its exceptionally inspired design, its perfectly balanced proportions and exhilarating driving experience, its efficient engines or high-tech equipment, the all-new Peugeot 3008 SUV will assert itself as a major player in its segment.

Luggage space has improved. With a of 520 litres (under the luggage cover), this is almost 90 litres bigger than the previous generation. Like the previous version, owners can remove the luggage cover and fold the second row of seats flat. This results in a total luggage capacity of 1 670 litres, one of the largest and most-versatile load capacities in the segment.
The latest generation Peugeot i-Cockpit is a novel concept that has rewritten the book on the car cockpit. It offers a more intuitive and intense driving experience, with a compact redesigned steering wheel which has two flats to make it easier to grip and afford the driver maximum visibility and legroom. Full-hide leather, from level 2, chrome inserts and gloss black trims deliver a high level of quality and attractiveness on GT-Line and GT-Line+.
The large 8” touch screen resembles a tablet installed in the centre of dashboard and is equipped with capacitive technology for greater reactivity and practicality. It is accompanied by six elegant piano-key “toggle switches”, giving direct and permanent access to the main control functions i.e. radio, climate control, navigation, vehicle parameters, telephone and mobile applications.
The heads-up digital instrument panel features a 12.3” screen with futuristic graphics. It can be completely configured and personalised. It brings together all that the driver could want in his field of view and is easily accessible from the thumbwheel on the steering wheel.
The evolution of the Peugeot i-Cockpit goes further, as it features sensory buttons. Thus, by simply pressing a dedicated key next to the toggle buttons there is the opportunity to further enhance the driving experience with i-Cockpit. In this way, all the senses are immediately aroused through touch, hearing and sight.
A vertical front-end, a long flat bonnet and a high waistline presents both character and sophistication. The new model is, on average, 100kg lighter than the previous generation versions.
The all-new Peugeot 3008 is a true SUV, and like any true SUV it has genuine off-road capability, especially thanks to the Advanced Grip Control. Optimised traction control with five grip levels (normal, snow, mud, sand, Esp off), all controlled from a switch on the center console.
Always-on connectivity
The all new Peugeot 3008 SUV responds to the driver’s need to stay connected while driving. The driver can navigate with confidence, due to facilities like MirrorScreen induction smart phone recharging only and 3D-connected navigation.
The 3D navigation stretches realism even further by displaying images of marked buildings and monuments, while taking into account the contours of the terrain. With a simple touch of a roller dial on the steering wheel, it can be transferred from the touch screen to the digital instrument unit for easier viewing.
A safer and more capable SUV
Technology has also improved safety with the next generation of safety systems and state-of-the-art driver aids.
Available on the all new Peugeot 3008 SUV is an Active Safety Brake and Distance Alert, a distance-alert function (risk of collision warning) with automatic emergency braking (to avoid a collision or to limit the severity by reducing vehicle speed) and Active Involuntary Crossing Line, a lane- departure alert for safer driving with visual and audible warnings and active vehicle control.
