19:16 Verdict
The Peugeot 3008 is one of the cars that really should sell better than it does. This is a midsize SUV that competes, loosely, with the likes of the Mazda CX-5, Toyota RAV4 and Volkswagen Tiguan. But on price - in Australia at least - it's a premium player, and that could be why it hasn't been as successful as the packaging, drive experience and technology on board suggest it should.
The range starts at about forty-five grand, and no model available at the moment is all-wheel drive, nor hybrid. So you have the choice of petrol turbo engines (two of those) and a turbo diesel. A plug-in hybrid PHEV model (or maybe two) will arrive later in 2021 in Australia, and it may - finally! - bring AWD to the equation as well.
As it stands, does the facelifted Peugeot 3008 2021 model range offer enough to convince buyers of mainstream models to consider the French SUV? Matt Campbell runs you through the line-up, and lets you know which one he thinks is the pick of the range. It might surprise you, too!

Great review, very details, I like how you basically go through all the trim levels, good job
We have many more versions of this in the UK Allure is not the base model here. I am getting my black 1.5l diesel manual GT shipped from France in about 2 weeks time can’t wait. I’ve been watching many videos on the car hence why you’re in my recommended 😁
Nice review 👍🏼
Excellent review.
I bought a Peugeot 3008 Allure Premium diesel car last year on a three year PCP scheme and am very happy with it.
I bought a 2019 Allure model with 9000ks for $36,000 …. I absolutely love it ! so comfortable such a great car to drive, may not have all the bells and whistles but it is such a comfortable car and such a great looker ! First European car I’ve ever owned ….I’m a very happy lad
Super vid. Thanks. Just acquired a 3008 Allure. Would it be possible to do a vid with an in depth review/explanation (for Dummies) of all features and their operation in particular. Couldn't find any. e.g. driving Safety features in action, how to set seat memory, etc
Just picked up a 2021 GT model in the Uk for £28,000…its a beauty..ex demo…5000 on the clock and black pack…its a stunning looking car and beautiful to drive.
I am in UK awaiting a GT 1.5 auto diesel In February 2023 in celebes blue. Cannot wait to receive mine. This car is just stunning no matter what colour is on show here. I know the specs are slightly different here with Design being the base model, Allure and Allure premium mid range and them GT followed by GT premium which is the top spec. Also the diesel model only has one engine size option. Hoping to get better fuel economy than I do now by the start stop function unlike my present car also manual diesel which doesn’t have it. A great fair review on this cars pros and cons
One of the best looking car in its segment. What are its Dimensions ?
The I-cockpit is quite nice it’s not as bad as everybody makes out to be. The hybrid version has only around 45 km range but with no automatic open latch on the charging lid so therefore I think that will wear out pretty quickly.
I like the looks
This is a gorgeous car, come to America!!
Hi great review this. Got a question regarding the lane keeping assist : Has anyone ever tested how the system functions when there are road repairs and new (yellow) lines are imposed on the existing white ones? Does the LKA get disoriented to the point of being useless?

Can you ditch the iPad 1 and use the iPad pro with smaller bezels?
I have the pre-facelift Allure model and it was about $7000 cheaper than the new Allure for not much difference. Plus I got 5 years free servicing. Glad I didn’t wait for this one!
I went with the gt hybrid 4 225 model comes in September 😀
When do we get this in all wheel drive?
Purchased last year's Allure model, heavily discounted, great trade in and 3 year's free servicing. Spot on with a range of comments Matt. Interior chrome is too reflective, we have black tape on some bits. Gear shift takes a while to be comfortable with, reversing camera no match against say a Mazda as you have to select 180 degree. No rear traffic alert. Hill hold depends on gradient. Should have LED headlights as standard. But... terrific to drive, very comfortable, good power and highly recommended despite my little complaints.
How heavily was it discounted? :)
@@inconnector this was August 2020 supposedly discounted from around $48k to $39990 drive away. I think a few months earlier you could get one for around $45-46k. So still a pretty good discount. Nearly two years with it now and not a single complaint. They're a bit expensive now though.
As a side note - I really like your efforts on the Kia ads :-)
Well explained
The reviewer never realised that starting the car only requires the user to press the start button slightly longer with a slight touch of the brake. Kicking the brakes hard as he suggests is just wrong.
Sorry to be off topic but does anyone know of a tool to log back into an instagram account?
I was stupid forgot my login password. I appreciate any help you can give me!
@Gustavo Santana instablaster =)
@Ace Skylar i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im trying it out atm.
I see it takes quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Ace Skylar It did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D
Thanks so much, you saved my ass!
@Gustavo Santana happy to help :)
1.2 petrol in the UK comes with manual or 8 speed auto, aussies might be missing something
I think that car looks great but as you say is over-priced. Really like the look of the seats- perhaps an allure with the seat option is the best value one? Or does the GT come with the leather seat as standard or is that only with the GT Sport?
Hi!
GT Sport is the only one with those seats standard. Allure with that leather pack would be a GREAT choice!
Cheers
Matt
Excellent car. Just bought the GT Sport MY22 for 50k.
This is the best SUV in its class and some of the best looking available
Lol… best looking perhaps.. best SUV in class, far from it.
@@kbling2946 it's the best looking in its class and one of the best in general
What about reliability your answer will be highly appreciated
@@prathikshshetty9458 listen ny friend owns a 2017 prefacelift 3008gt line. With the 1.2 petrol. Its very reliable it has 95k mile on it and has no single problem. And my cousin drives the new 3008 hybrid 4x4 beautiful, luxurious, fast and i think it will ne reliable as well
@@kbling2946 it's the most luxurious, best looking, hightech and has rhe best quality. It was awarded as the best medium suv for 2020 for Europe
Does that leather pack option come with a light colour leather choice? I hate black black everywhere.
Also does the top model GT Sport which comes with the black pack have that as an option, surely you don’t HAVE to take the black pack? I really can’t stand all this obsession with black. Black roofs, black mirrors etc. I like body coloured mirror and roofs.
I also don’t think those are high servicing costs. Perhaps I’m out of touch. My last service was $775. And I had a couple on a previous Honda that was $1044.
In Europe it comes in red leather as well. And leather/alcantara, where that ugly wood finish is in light grey alcantara
My next car
Seemingly good Never owned a Peugeot Are they reliable for long term use ?
I had a Peugeot 308 for five years, AMAZING ❤️ Now I bought a New 3008 GT, I hope it's behavior don't disappoint me 🙌
I've had a Peugeot 208 for 6 years and it hasn't skipped a beat, absolutely perfect.
Have had a Peugeot 3008 for 12 months now and again, not a single issue. Fantastic cars.
@@brendenc8376 Thanks for your insight as an owner
What r French cars on Australian roads.
Someone didn’t eat their Weet-bix today 🤣
I see Peugeot is employing the “Start it like you mean it” philosophy.
Otherwise, nice car, gorgeous looks but very niche.
I doubt there is a car for everyone's taste! Some will like it, some wont.
I think Peugeot had improved leaps and bounds nowadays
The design looks better than any Japanese SUV . As for RAV 4 or corolla cross , it looks great first time but quickly get sick of it on second look
CX 5 and Tiguan design looks ugly at certain angles not really that fantastic too
It's not 'updated', nor is it 'facelifted'. It's a completely new car! About the only thing it's inherited from the original is the name. Even the engines have been re-engineered.
Whats the point if you can't see the car because of all the writing
Haw about reliability ?
It’s French. Will eventually cheat on you at some point 😑
It finished top in a reliability survey. End of stories or perceptions.
Only problem is too pricy.
I'll still go for Rav4
😂😂🤢🤢🤢choose a boxy Toyota with cheap and boring interior over this beautiful car
@@pap_chr5063 I will coz I am cheap and smart, not cheap and stupid..🤣🤣
Boxy
@@the.vinodd You're just cheap
No thanks, they're an ugly car.
@ Nguyễn Thành Đăng ơi ,,,,, xe độp.?
There s a AWD . Even a 300bhp .lol
The worst car I've owned, firstly came with no electric heated seats on gt premium, dealer not interested Anthony motors Aber. glitchy engine 225 hybrid. poor build creaky seats and door trims. Very twitchy at speed now starting with electrical problems, looks good but a terrible car to drive and poor dealer service.
I’ve been looking forward to the new 3008 as I’m in the market for a new SUV. I have to say I’m hugely disappointed!
Sure it looks nice but for a car that’s pitching above the top spec CX-5, RAV4 and the like it falls flat on its face in so many areas. No 4WD, that crappy 6 speed in the lower models. The stupid half job 360 camera and average infotainment. Heated seats is old hat, cooled seats are where it’s at now, especially in OZ. Oh a manual operated passenger seat in the top spec 😂
I mean the old 2002 Stato I used to own had dual electric for goodness sake.
NEXT !!!!!!
Don’t expect so much, what you said it would be a average suv
I smell bs in your story.
@@gregrobins5615 tell me which point is BS mate. If you want a debate something that’s fine but to throw BS without any detail Is Neanderthal at best.
@@kbling2946 Sure. It's clear to me that you weren't really looking at the 3008 to buy as you've over exaggerated your so called extreme disappointment. Given that you mentioned it earlier in a negative way and tried to oppose somebody's positive comment suggests you probably haven't actually driven one either. To be interested in a particular new car but then slam it later is a sign of bs.
@@gregrobins5615 you make me laugh 😂 I actually really like the 3008, it’s the reason why I test drove both the diesel and petrol variants, several times. The fit and finish inside is very nice BUT my comments stand as they are factual. If you think the 360 camera or the 6 speed is good, lack of AWD prior to the hybrid, and infotainment, argue the case, I highly doubt you can if you have actually driven/seen one. Even the reviews done mention the same things as I have. Sorry to Burst your French bubble.
I don't know about competing with BMW, that cabin is way behind a current Mazda equivalent IMHO
I have the pre-facelift model Allure. Its cabin and features are miles ahead of the CX-5 which I chose it over.
Your kidding
I checked out the Mazda... just does not compare to the wonderful interior of the 3008.
@@dps7149 lol no.
Bruh are you serious?The Cabin of Mazda is worse than Toyota 😂. They make really boring and ugly interiors.Peugeot makes amazing interiors
So expensive
Over priced though...
Now it's not over priced.Its the best in the class and looks way better than its rivals.It has amazing build quality and beautiful interior
It’s basically another Citroen C5 aircross, and nothing new with it just the same old tarted up a bit
And what was wrong with an old one? What is wrong with C5? They are brilliant cars!
You probably drive a Mazda or Kia... Hmm?
@@adamme8369 seriously the old Citroen cars that had electric, weather seals and the suspension faults just to name a few, they have stepped up there game a bit but if you want a recycled car parts you might as well go for a Dacia.
I don’t drive any of them cars you have mentioned I like something that’s a bit different and unique 😁
@@adamme8369 Peugeot wishes it could build a car as well as a Mazda.
@@stefcep 😂😂😂😂.Mazda makes some really ugly cars with Boring interiors.Take a look at this one this is one of the best looking SUVs now and the best in the class.It has won over than 80 international rewards and was voted as the best medium SUV for 2020 whereas Mazdas didn't cause they are ugly
🤦🤦 they are completely different cars.3008 is a premium SUV and has better interior quality than the cheaper C5 aircross
Watched this review after having one as a hire car from Avis.
For the prices being charged, the car doesn't deserve to sell. Massively overpriced. It's redeeming feature is it's better than a Mazda ...
The driving position is horrid. Drive any specific length of time, and your left leg being squashed against the console becomes very very uncomfortable. The shifter is plainly stupid...it's been designed by a student in their 4th year of an automotive design degree who's never sat behind the wheel of a car, ever.
The handling is also way too floaty. You just cannot be sure where the front wheels are pointing when going round a corner.
And to plug your phone into the front USB socket, you need really really long arms! The socket is hidden away under the console. And there is only one USB in the front. My boss and I both needed to charge our phones on a drive, and we could not do that!
And the cruise controls are hidden badly behind the steering wheel, you have to feel your way to find the controls.
The designer tried to be clever on this car. And failed. It's well built, but too many things annoyed me about this car
OMG... Believe me, If you buy Peogeot, the hell gate will open. Peugeot is not mechanically stable. The worst thing is in their customer relations attitude as well. Especially the Peugeot Australia is very very highly ignoring and irresponsible after sales. I am 100% sure being anti-Peugeot.
Just buy australian brand....Ho wait!!!
Bro do you even know anything about cars?Okay citreon and Renault are ugly and cheap.But peugeot and da are amazing brands they make beautiful cars with one of the best interiors on the market.Their quality are amazing and are pretty reliable ,many of my friends own Peugeot or Ds they don't have any single problem (90kmiles and 110k) each one
RUubish
" Peugeot is not mechanically stable" ??? really? that why PSA have the highest time belt interval change? because they are unstable? lol , try and find another car manufacturer with higher engine time belt kit interval, we talk when you do.
Petrol: first at 112000 miles
Diesels: first at 180000 miles
Full electric: :)
I don't think you're mechanically stable !
