Is the facelifted Peugeot 3008 a great SUV? Is this French crossover worthy of consideration against the Mazda CX-5, Volkswagen Tiguan and Subaru Forester? We think so. Something of a quiet achiever in the Australian market, the 3008 offers a high-quality cabin, great driving dynamics and a clear air of refinement. It’s a good family car, in short, though if you need more seats, the three-row Peugeot 5008 will be the better option.
The 3008 is available in several trims and the choice of turbo petrol or turbo diesel engines. The 1.6-turbo Allure is the entry point of the range.
In today’s video, Tom takes a detailed look at the new entry-level Peugeot 3008 Allure 1.6T to give you detailed insights about this vehicle.

Love your reviews, keep'em coming! That Peugeot kicks butt, especially the GT!
I own a 2020 GT Diesel 3008
It would have to be the best SUV I've owned.
The car just doesn't let you down from reliability to ride comfort and economy.
The 3008 is a real head turner especially amongst other SUV owners.
The ride comfort is second to none especially when on long trips you arrive fresh and with out fatigue.
The build quality is spot on and interior is by far the best in its class.
Do yourself a favour and give it a test drive if you're in the market for a SUV.
Hi David, looking at one right now gt petrol. What is the air con like does it get cold enough? I have a Karoq and struggles with the Aussie summer!
Well said, David. It's a top top car. That offers so much more than German car makers, for the same amount of money.
I am Germany, been a BMW fanatic all my life, now I drive French and I am more than satisfied.
Top quality, top design for less money spent.
I just bought a 2022 3008GT HDi (2.0L diesel) - I endorse those comments - I've had the same experience (had the car for a couple of months)
@dps7149 - obviously you have not driven a Tiguan because if you had you would reconsider all your thoughts about the 3008 diesel
Great review Tom.
Chasing Cars has convinced me to take a closer look at Peugeot.
I've owned my 3008 GT Line since 2019 and just love it. More people should take the plunge and buy one, you won't be disappointed.
They're good cars.
I’m purchasing one in July, brand new GT 300 Hybrid4 version
Just purshased a Hybrid 4. I will recieve it over 3 weeks.
Is it reliable compare to cx5 etc. Etc.
@@superflo807 No warranty claims so far. The vehicle exudes the quality of modern day Peugeots.
I had a 307 when i was younger and although peugeots always had a bad wrap, I loved it so much, it was so nice and the interior was so much nicer than other small cars at the time. :) Go Peugeot!
I had the 2017 GT model when they first came out and fell in love with it I have now changed it for the 2021 GT model wow it’s a beast
Hi Rob, Iam looking at a GT to buy this week? Anything I should know? How is the air con . I have a Karoq and it struggles with the Aussie summer. Thanks
@robwatts6960 - 2021 GT is a beast? what size engine is in yours? I would not call any vehicle that takes more than 6 seconds to do 0 to 10 km/h a beast
At last a decent assessment of a Peugeot. I have the 3008 and love it.
In 2017 I bought the 3008, loved it! Just upgraded from that car to a brand new Hybrid4 GT version, and what an upgrade! Fairly good range on the electric for our daily routines. But I love putting it in Sport mode, damn this thing can move!
Looking forward to the PHEV!
2018 and 2021 are both awesome
Beautiful car probably one of the most beautiful SUVs right now
It’s a lovely looking car, inside and out. Thanks for a great review.
Thanks for the review, I only have a question regarding prince engine , I heard that there is Oil consumption is that true ? How can we avoid and enjoying the car ?
Thank you once again 🙂
Great Authentic Review
Picked up my new 3008 GT only yesterday, did have a 2018 xtrial but wasn't keen and the quality was a bit rubbish, but this peugeot 3008 is absolutely amazing and comfortable to drive,
@darrent404 - I find the center console is uncomfortable and too wide in the 3008 and takes up precious leg room also the McPherson strut front and torsion beam rear suspension are not all that balanced and too jittery - torsion suspensions are dirt cheap and in my opinion are too unsettled and best suited for army tanks
Great video!
Great review and love the new facelift on this. I'd love to test drive the dual motor AWD hybrid - the 0-100 is quite impressive on it! Hopefully they also bring the 508 PSE here later and you get to test that out too.
Totally agree
Hey team, great vid as usual. Just wondering, when will you get a first drive with the new Kia Cerato? Cheers!
As soon as Kia release them here!
Love it! Awesome review too 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thanks so much!
Thanks for your review Tom.
Nice car.
My pleasure!
I currently own a uk 2014 3008 model. I adore my current version with all my heart. It’s a beauty and will be a heart wrench to get rid of.
To say I love this new car shown in here is an understatement. Im upgrading next year to a new 3008 GT 1.5 diesel in colour -Celebes blue. Cannot wait to receive it. I know it will certainly turn heads.
Nice review Tom! I test drove one recently and agree the ride and handling is fantastic and the interior is best in class. I wasn’t sure about the driving position with that small steering wheel but I ended up loving it. I was reluctant to give the car back after the test drive :)
You get used to the driving position very quickly. Yes, the dynamics are fluid and well-balanced.
Nice one Tom just wondering how much stiffer the ride would be in the GT Line ? over the base model ?
10-20%.
If you are going to choose, will you choose mazda cx 5 akera, mitsubishi exceed or peugeot 3008? Plss help me to choose 😅 thank u
Comprehensive review Tom. Not sure if you found the same but I'm at 194cm in height and i found the steering wheel far too low at maximum height adjustment. It also forced me to sit in a slouched position to be comfortable. Top of the wheel also blocked part of the dash.
Car drove well with quite a nice exhaust note. Super frustrating UI for ventilation, radio and nav.
Yep, it won't work for everyone. For my 183cm frame it's good.
Thanks for the great review Tom, as I have now placed this 3008 in my top list to purchase later this year. I was just curious on how intuitive and easy it was to use the adaptive cruise control?
Don't love the old school stalk but once you've mastered it, it works fine.
@@chasingcars Thanks - i appreciate your feedback
The cruise control flicks from either constant speed or maximum speed. Constant speed can be controlled and switched by plus and minus keys on the back of the stalk.
Max speed switched on by the button on the end of the stalk. However, you can still set the max speed you want, before you switch the limiter on. It becomes second nature after a few goes.
@@davidreed2254 Thanks, David
Greeeeat Review.. :)
Great review
Please review Ford Focus ST line in the future
I shall put a request in, Will.
I really like the look of the 3008, only reason why I wouldn't buy this is the repair costs and parts. So expensive.
I've owned peugeots and citroens, I love French cars, but it's always been a hassle with getting parts in Australia (wait time and cost). My last two French cars were great to drive, comfortable and very reliable (luckily) so only had parts issues due to a broken windscreen. However, there are very few dealers around so you're usually stuck with servicing through just the one dealer. If that dealer is not helpful you may have a problem. And getting supply of new vehicles has always been tricky. I still love my French cars though.
Me too, but I just found good private French specialists to work on my cars. In Sydney for Renault you have Renotech in Hornsby, and Paul V in Carlton for all French cars. Several in the Illawarra too.
@@pastorofmuppets8834 Unfortunately there are not too many options in Brisbane.
@@pastorofmuppets8834 I take my Renault SUV to RenoTech and recommend it to everyone. Full trust in that mechanic, they know more than dealerships, charge less and actually do the job properly!
Lol shit I'm from Australia and was really interested in this 3008. Reading your comment I really have to reconsider
@@GyariSan1 Peugeot dealerships are the best you'll find. If you wait until the end of the year, there will be the option of a 300hp AWD electric hybrid Peugeot 3008, and a few other new options which blast the competition away.
Have this in th uk! I like the diesel and wasnt overally impressed with the new hybrid. I would stick to a reorder of the diesel 1.5L for a new model!
What are people's thoughts on 3008 GT sport vs 162tsi R-line tiguan?
Great car and this would tempt me into a cav however a 508 SW would be my pick :)
Love the 508 SW
What is the price?
I really hate that when the voice over says "the door open really wide ..." the video just shows in inside rear with the door closed.
Point taken
Love my 3008... 💚
Hi guys, I know GT line is the bigger trim but am getting Allure Premium, is this a good trim if u don't want to go up to GT?
Yes it's just perfect
Are you able to delve into the robustness or quality of dealer/product support here in Australia with the reviews you do? I'm interested in to hear about Peugeot's quality of after sales service and support.
Honestly, because we deal directly with the manufacturer, we don't get much exposure to the dealer experience. Thankfully we almost always get feedback in the comments from buyers with good and bad things to say.
@@chasingcars thanks for your reply
Does it have a full size glovebox or the tiny weird half size one?
It has a tiny one as the fuse box wasn’t moved for right hand drive cars to the other side.
Hi, great work, but again was there a miss on fuel economy?
It's not the best. Expect 9L/100km in town and 7L/100km on the freeway.
My diesel gets 6.4 /100km
My 2022 3008 (2.0L diesel) gets 6.7 - 7.2 L/100kms around town. I imagine about 5.5L/100kms on the highway.
Which trim come with electric passenger and driver seats please ? How about sunroof please ?
I think it's the GT line. It's have electric tailgate as well.
Look on the Peugeot website, has all the information
You have the same driving loops in each video right ?
There is some repetition as you’d expect, for consistent testing
I quite like it .
Heh, Tom you don't have kids or you didn't have to install the car seats into this car. The isofix points are somewhat reachable, but the rear anchor point is diabolically hard to click in. Anyway that aside, is the reversing camera still looking like a VHS recording? Also your comment on lane keeping assist is spot on, I've tried this on Kodiaq as well and it just works fantastically, Peugeot, not so much...
I've got all sorts of driving assist tech in our Ford Endura but I never use it. I thought that kind of stuff was only ever for people driving intoxicated or asleep.
What I do use is high beam with active shadowing in the Endura. It is amazing.
@@pastorofmuppets8834 I get it, some of the stuff dulls the driving experience, but let's face it, most cars most people can afford are pretty dull to begin with. Some of the tech takes the sting out of the long distance driving, i.e. lane keep assist, and I'd rather have it than not.
Need to pick up a baby seat for the channel I think
The lane assist works well - I just hate it and I will turn it off on long highway trips.
Anyone have a review for the diesel version ? Pretty exxy for a 2wd though
Have owned the 2017, 3008 GT (Diesel), GT Line is the petrol, for 3.5yrs now. A ton of power & torque, no problems at all, fuel economy to date 5.9 Lt/100 klm ( thats right 3.5 yrs average). Add blue needs to be filled at around 15,000Klm & costs me around $12 to fill. My 3rd Pug and can't complain at all about any of them. In fact the last 2, a 504 & a 505, all I did was replace a starter motor on the 504 & a glove box light bulb & regulator on the 505. Yes, to answer your question about the diesel, would highly recommend one. After all, they do make a lot of diesels for a lot of other car assemblers/companies.
@@mickgrace2558 I have a 2022 3008GT HDi (2.0L diesel). It's a brilliant engine, plenty of power and the engine is absolutely bombproof. I had a diesel 308 before and both European Mechanics I used recommended the 2.0L diesel. Best engine they have put into Peugeots. Around town my fuel consumption ranges from 6.7-7.3L/100kms - Haven't taken it on a long highway trip yet. Great that you can fill AdBlue at the truck section of the service station. No need to use containers. Our family has owned Peugeots since the 403 years - never had a major problem.
What do you guys think about the wheels?
Still can't get past the fact I much prefer the pre-facelift front end.
They're great cars, but to me the new front looks busy
We have a 4008 for my wife's car, same basic vehicle as a Mitsubishi ASX, with nicer (at the time) nose & tail, it's a shame the parts are so expensive, the wife had a small accident with resulted in a broken steering rack, $1500 the same part in Mitsubishi was $300, also had to wait 6 weeks to arrive, while Mitsubishi had them in stock. whiel insurance paid for the repairs it directly relates to higher insurance costs.
It would be interesting to include service & insurance costs in the reviews,
I doubt we will ever be buying another Peugeot, mainly due to their poor response when questioned about why parts are comparably so expensive.
Very very different cars now given the 2008, 3008 and 5008 are all built on Peugeot's own platforms
@@chasingcars Most likely, but parts & insurance cost is a big issue with the brand from my experience, We looked at the new 3008, didn't like the center console setup, or the reverse needles on the dash either,
Think the only thing holding Peugeot back in Australia is the cost of fixed price servicing (Skoda appear to be good at this) and possibly lack of commitment by the importer Inchape....and I do like French wagons....
Inchcape need to try and get a better deal from the factory
Odlično
Test drove the Peugeot and didn't like it at all! I personally found the seats to be very uncomfortable, the steering wheel is tiny and the cabin was tiny! I ended up taking the CX5 for a test drive and loved it!
The cabin tiny??????? You must be joking. Steering wheel is great - very much like that in the old racing cars. Light but direct. I found it excellent coming from an old style car with the big steering wheel.
Hmm not so sure about this review Tom, I generally think you are on point.
The 6 speed auto in these have never reviewed very well unlike the 8 speed yet you never really touched on it. I also think you have undersold the importance of having an AWD version of this cat here in Australia. Yes you said it was a good idea but based on myself and a kazillion other comments over the years, it’s 100% required for this car to even have a chance. Servicing and repair costs??
Yes no mention of the gear box is a big omission. I chose our Citroen C4 Grand Picasso because of the Aisin 6 speed having had a nightmare with our Skoda superb with that $@#_$! DSG. It is a great gear box.
You're right, I should have mentioned it. But basically, no mention = unremarkable. No issues at all with the gearbox on this car.
@@chasingcars sorry Tom I’ve watched nearly every review you have done and I believe you are better than that, in fact I think your reviews are some of the best worldwide. No AWD, hybrid and that stupid half job 360 camera or the inclusion of the better 8 speed auto are definitely hard hitting selling points.
I have a 2022 3008 - it has the 8 speed gerabox. Very smooth in both auto and manual mode. My 2012 308 had the 6 speed gearbox which was OK - however the 8 sp. box is excellent.
How reliable is it?
French cars are very reliable now in 2022. Stop living in the past. This is no longer the 90's.
I am German, I drive French, and I am more than satisfied. Top cars. Growing increasingly popular in Germany, Switzerland and Austria.
No manual option? Shame. Drove the 6 speed 1.2 when these came out across Italy and France and it was fantastic. Would consider the plug in hybrid for sure (I’m fine with an auto), especially if it can tow a trailer.
Peugeot 3008 is handsome car.
True.
That DRL randomly jutting out of the lights looks so out of place
4selendare i preferred it in 6 8 selnder
and 1,6 cc wat this
Супер !
Drive away prices for the 3008 start at 50K and go to 60K. That's outrageous, considering the RAV4 starts at 37K driveaway. I don't know if Peugeot are doing good business but they're pricing way above their station. Beautiful cars but I'd save the money and look to Skoda, VW or even Volvo if I wanted a Euro badge.
You'll be paying more to get into a Tiguan with the same specs (just look at the ridiculous price they charge for the LCD dash, which comes standard in the Peugeot). A friend bought the top of the line Tiguan (not allspace) at $65K. The service costs are ginormous.
@@pastorofmuppets8834 All good points. I guess I'm looking at the base line models where you can get a Tiguan for less than 42K driveaway. Of course, once you start adding the packs to spec it up to the same equipment levels as the Pug, then I'm sure it would get more expensive. Personally I'd get the base Tiguan and maybe the safety pack.
It's definitely a touch too expensive. Peugeot need to price against Skoda, IMO.
@@chasingcarsOuch - I think not - no comparison and I've driven both. Not even comparable.
This guy says Allure is the base model...😮Active is the base model..Allure in next then GT
Twinklicious.
4 selender wat this
Beautiful. But I wouldn’t want to be cleaning the bugs from the crevices of the nose after a long trip out of the burbs ...
Good point!
Their materials tend to fall off after a couple of thousand kms. Looks good but not desirable enough to buy
Have you owned one?
Personally I'd believe JD Power survey results over one UA-cam comment.
Not in my experience.
This French guy ( le garage pts) here reviews a 3 year old 3008 that has been only used on highways which is ideal yet it still has a couple of pbs. Check minute 6 of the video that being said Peugeot might have upped their quality in later models
ua-cam.com/video/NhJu7w0u_yY/v-deo.html
That's a aload of nonsense - I had a 2012 308 - no problems and have had no problems with my 2022 3008. They are extremely reliable cars.
No sunroof really disappointing
Gt model gets one
There are lots of these on the road
They look fantastic
I worry that it’s French
Great looking car overall, I just don’t quite like the wheels, look a bit messy and cheap, they should redesign the wheels
It's always funny to see, that only German reviewers and journalists think, German cars have a better quality.
well, German cars have the best interior quality
@@kristians2704 No, they don't. Not in every model.
Quality was great on this 3008
$200 for replacement windshield wipers. Imported from France. Needed software upgrades - engine and transmission. Dealer charged for upgrades. Should have been a free upgrade. Before software upgrade transmission constantly malfunctioned. Beware!
What year 3008 was this? 2017 onwards or an earlier model?
Most probably talking about an old version
I had that sort of problem with my 1999 Peugeot 405. I'd be surprised if you're talking about a new car.
More than half the cars on the road these days have French wipers…made in France…not to mention many other components on lots or euro cars - Valeo are a huge French auto OEM manufacturer, so the “it’s made in France” for parts argument is redundant these days
The >2017 can take lots of different wiper blades, from very cheap to expensive
Software updates for centre console & satnav available free to download from Peugeot & easy to install from a usb stick

U just can't decide between 3008 and new Hyundai Tucson. Tucson seems bigger inside and gives more tech for same money
That's the smallest steering wheel I've ever seen
It's tiny.
unfurtuntly erub cars exept morsedec and bmw and audi not poplare because no information about it in may country onan
They get styling right sometimes. Cant drive a French car however I have no respect for the French and their pitiful effort against the Germans in WW2.
Agree with the styling right 'sometimes' , but really, WW2 ended over 70 years ago, move on man
@@seth1455 move on from a war that shaped our world as we know it.
@@vsboy2577 Right on man, because the people you have a bee in your bonnet about are the very same people who build these cars. I don’t even mean the same nation, they’re literally old ww2 veterans in those Peugeot factories? Oh wait, what’s that you say? That’s stupid? Yeah, same as your pointless prejudice against a car manufacturer for something that had nothing to do with them!
@@Sto79Be A mans genetics is passed on. A person who allows evil criminals to take their country with no consequences has no respect from me. the British I respect .
This will make you feel better then. You do know that when the German army took over the Peugeot factory, the Peugeot family sabotaged the production line producing armoury to stifle the German advances ? True story. Any manufacturer who survives 2 world wars, a GFC and the great depression have my respect.
This would have been a very palatable review... had it not been for this fella trying to sound like a valley girl with that OTT vocal fry. I wanted to punch the screen after a couple of mins in.
There's really not much I can do about my Australian accent after 27 years
@@chasingcars it's not about stralia, that on it's own would have been great, it's about vocal fry. Fix up yerself!
