Hey, the active version is about 54,000 USD and the allure about 60,000 USD. We are just about to launch though but the product is already here. I was excited with what i saw.
Well I'll be damned. French car with interior even Germans could envy for. It seems like a very nice place to travel in, also the exterior is quite pleasing, stands out from all them "gray diesels". I'd probably buy this instead of some VAG equivalent in 5-6 years when I could actually afford one. Bravo Peugeot!
do you know why ? because The french company Faurecia makes the interior of the peugeot 3008 and german premium too. it 's the globalisation. (peugeot owns a part of faurecia )
i can tell you by a fact that the leather most likely come from Portugal, i used to work in the factory that processed it and yes and Mercedes and a Dacia have the interior made in the same place...
The French, especially Peugeot, actually always have the capabilities to make great quality interiors. Even the interiors of German premium cars such as VW, BMW, Mercedes are actually made & developed by a French company Faurecia. Faurecia is one of Peugeot's subsidiaries. So in other words, those excellent interiors of Audi, BMW, Mercedes etc are made/designed by Peugeot via Faurecia.
Haiho HH you're right. Not many people know this. People tend to underestimate French cars' build quality although actually those premium German cars' interiors are built by the French company Faurecia. And moreover, only the French dare to make distinctive stand-out cars in the streets like they show in this 3008. Personally Im quite fed up seeing the all look-alike Japanese/German cars on the streets. So a French beautie like this 3008 is welcome anytime on my street.
I really like 3008's interior. It's very futuristic and mesmerizing. I could sit in it all day. Monsieur Gilles Vidal is such a brilliant young designer! Chapeau!
After a lot of research, and a final seal of approval from Matt, I bought the 1.2l auto 3008 GT Line a year ago. Love it so much I decided to revisit this review a year later (like re-reading a love letter). This car is a pleasure to drive and the interior and kit, for the price and relative to competitors I considered, is fantastic. Tip: Definitely get the electric kick tailgate (I use mine all the time when my hands are full of shopping bags or sports kit) and seriously consider the grip control (for about €200 it takes only one bad snow storm to make you happy that you did, and you also get different rims for that price which will differentiate your 3008 from others on the road!). As Matt says, just buy it!!
Many people underestimate French cars' build quality although actually premium German cars' interiors (BMW, Mercy, Audi etc) are built by the French company Faurecia. And Faurecia is actually Groupe PSA's subsidiary. In other words, those nice German cars' premium interiors are actually built by the French.
Dont get me wrong, I'm loving this car and considering on buying it, but I just wanted to tell you that a company doesn't represent all french cars. It could be that the company are too good, french car manufacturers cant afford them.
thank you leonard, you gave me a piece of information i can use to defend french cars against what my wife thinks. i went and checked its a company based in nanterre (france)...and has done interiors for almost everyone in the industry. merci beaucoup.
Mobil2 Prancis memang cakep2 ya gan.. sayangnya mobil Prancis yg ada di Indonesia cuma Peugeot keluaran lawas (206, RCZ & 3008MPV) ama Renault versi Asia (Kwid, Koleos)
bener, Peugeot sama Renault mestinya lebih berani ngeluarin mobil kayak 208, 3008, Clio, atau Scenic. Dijamin bisa saingan sama Mazda 2, CRV/X-Trail, Civic, Golf, sama Polo
Sebenernya peugeot ngga jelek" amat, teknologi punya, nyaman banyak orng bilang nyaman, eksterior dr semua type hampir semua cantik, menurut saya standart mesinnya aga kurang power, saya sebagai perawat peugeot 307cc ngga ada masalah yg buruk dipakai sendiri sampai 80k km.
Peugeot has a good reputation in India even though it was discontinued many years ago. Their diesel engines made way to other car models like Suzuki Zen, Suzuki Esteem, Hyundai Accent ets and was considered one of the reliable engines.

Far and away the BEST reviewer I have ever seen! I have been reading car mags since I was 10, 26 years ago. And your reviews are just amazing. Better than anyone I've ever come across on UA-cam, blogs, vlogs et cetera. Keep up the great work mate! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
slumpika Seriously, you have to wait for the durability of the materials. VW aren't overrated at all, otherwise they wouldn't keep their value as they do. Or do you judge books by their flashy cover? Car companys aren't stupid, they improve the aspects car reviewers are able to look for in the short time they can test a car.
VW is not overrated at all, that's what people who know nothing about cars say because they want to sound edgy and show they know more than other because they hate something that is popular. It's like that in all areas, not just when it comes to cars. In reality, the reputation it has is exactly the one it deserves, and it didn't get that reputation overnight, VW built the reputation it has over decades. They're great, high quality cars, but very traditional, so you can't expect some crazy design from them or something very exciting, because that way they'd lose their core costumers. You do get high quality materials, great attention to detail and fit and finish (almost always best in class), efficiency, reliability, lots of space, refinement, always top technology in terms of engines and gearboxes, as well as other pieces of tech that other brands usually put in their cars a generation after VW, and in general cars that are the best or close to best in class in all major areas. You have to own a VW to be able to appreciate the qualities it has, because it's not a car that shouts at you and impresses you at first glance. They're not the best brand in the world, but in segments where they compete, they always offer arguably the best overall cars. For example, there is no hatchback out there that is overall better than a Golf for example, yes the Focus is a bit nicer to drive, but it's not as comfortable or refined, and nowhere near as well made or high quality overall, Astra is nice overall too, but against lacks the quality and refinement of Golf in many details, and others are just not anywhere close to it. Same with the Passat or the Polo.
Obviously you've never had a 2.0tdi a3 which costing you an arm and a leg. If you want to talk about durability let's talk about the oil pump which died after 30.000miles or that f..cking dsg gearbox what only cost me £3500 to replace... Oh and it only has 46000 miles on the clock
Our company has 5 Passat estates with a 2.0 TDI with 143hp that are about 5 years old now, most of them have over 300k km's on the clock, never any major issues with any of them. They're manuals, so can't talk about DSG's, but other than being regularly serviced, they're simply very easy to live with, and held up very well despite being trashed around by many different drivers.
Great review Matt. We have the Allure version and have to say the 1.2 engine is a real surprise. The look of it has drawn a lot of attention with people saying it's like a Land Rover but a bit chunkier. And the interior is so easy to use and very well laid out. It's certainly a change from our Octavia estate.
Read a couple of comments asking for a reliability issues. I've had this car for 2 years now. An absolutely brilliant car. Considered Volvo XC40 also. XC40 is already looking a bit meh. This car still looks pretty dang good. Some may be worried about its power. But, I found it more than plenty even when I had to be somewhat heavy footed. The interior is, arguably, the best in its price range. Nothing comes remotely close to its simple elegance. It is also very functional, unlike many other Sports "Utility" Vehicles, which have boot space of a VW Golf (if not smaller). Driving dynamics is good. The small steering wheel is a joy to use. With reliability...I haven't had major issues with it...like engine failure or head gasket blowing. But, I had to take it to the dealer as the driver's side seatbelt warning light and beep came on intermittently while driving (with seatbelt on!). Then became so bad that it was on almost at all times, which became supremely annoying. Dealership unplugged and replugged the harness, which seemed to solve the issue. But, that issue has come back. Two weeks ago, "Engine Fault: Repair Needed" warning light came up and the car lost throttle while I was driving. I pulled over, restarted the car and it seemed okay. Anyway, had the car towed to the dealer and it ended up being the fuel tank issue. Something about it leaking and flooding the cat filter. Both fuel tank and cat filter were replaced under warranty. On the way back from the dealer, the seatbelt warning light and beep came on again. Also, it rained that night. I had complained about apparent rust on the panoramic sunroof rubber gasket. The dealer brushed it off as "just grease". When I reversed the following morning, water poured out from top of the rearview mirror. And did it when I stopped, etc. I inspected the sunroof rubber gasket. It definitely seemed like a proper rust and I'm assuming the water got in through there. Also, the plastic trims that run vertically alongside the windscreen had come pretty loose for some time. Something about the clips being broken off due to "fatigue". Anyway, took my car in against today to address all those issues. Perhaps, just little issues in the grand scheme of things, except the sunroof rubber gasket one. Something like that simply shouldn't happen to a car just around 2 years old. Trims coming loose, I thought French cars were renowned for that. But, thought they'd fixed it recently. Maybe not. Fuel tank...could be a freak occurrence, could be a design fault. Who knows? Seatbelt warning electrical issues, a minor but rather annoying one. So, yeah, there they are. 4 issues I've had with the car, which all happened in the last 3~4 months.
@@siddharthphogat5728 i have had a 68/19 petrol 1.6 EAT for 2 years with no mechanical issues at all and love how quick smooth economical and quiet it is. My only gripes are the touch screen - would much prefer buttons, and the heat/vent system is terrible. Ths air vents are completely un intuitive and the output is woeful especially in the footwells where i would say its non existent for all practical purposes eg. on cold days!
This has to be my favourite cat I’ve ever had the pleasure to possess! One thing that’s mor mentioned is that it’s solidly built.. I was in a collision and the car suffered a few scrapes while the other car was absolutely battered. Walked away unscathed at 60mph
I have had a Peugeot 3008 for 6.5 years - no trouble at all, still in showroom condition - hasn't cost me a penny in repairs or unplanned maintenance (other than tyres). I trialled the new one and for a number of reasons didn't like it or the attitude of the dealer who supplied my previous 2 Peugeots. It is better styled but (like many other marques) relies too much on toys to appeal to drivers. I ordered the SEAT Ateca 4WD and have to wait 6 months until delivery (in France) - due end of June. Do not believe all the negative (unproven) criticisms of Peugeot - Trolls are everywhere.
People talking about german interiors, i would like to remind you that Faurecia, a huge company that provides many manufacturers like Audi or VW with entire car interiors, is a french company. So a lot of those german car interior are actually french made.
This really is an excellent car. Modern and interesting-looking but not too over the top and still practical. And I just love how you get as standard here things you'd have to pay extra even on an Audi A6.
Thanks to this video I bout My 3008 GT and I absolutely love it!!! It have a bad reputation here in Saudi because of the heat but I did my research and I got it now I can go daily afternoon in 50 Celsius weather to get my ice coffee everyday and it feels like 30 Celsius with that amazing AC
I've seen those quite often. Peugeot really stepped up their game - they offer the best value for money and it seems like they're spot on - people like to have beautiful vehicles both inside and outside, as well as some cool features. And that's it. Back in the days you had to order a V6 engine to get access to heated seats, panoramic sunroof, and other extras.
He didnt mention that it is one of the few FWD cars that have a decent turning radius. The steering wheel turns way more than on any other FWD car I ever tested. Made me remember Mercedes cars.
Big thanks to Mat and the CarWow team. I had a 2011 2.0 litre diesel Renault Laguna TomTom edition. This was an emergency buy as our 2nd child came along. I spent about a year researching the next car for my family. I wanted an SUV and wanted to move back to petrol. I went back and forth between many options. But thanks to these videos I eventually settled on a Peugeot 3008 GT Line. I actually managed to get a 2019 petrol model for a really good deal. I've had the car for 4 months and it is amazing. Thank you Mat for all the advice and review footage. I absolutely love my 3008 and there are absolutely no regrets. Thank you.
rt bigman did you buy the car? And if you did can you share your model plz 1.6 or??? I have got vauxhall astra 1.4 its a shithole,when you have full people it drives like a snail,car have no power at all, so i am thinking to buy suv this time big and something that can pull easily when on motorway!
Whenever I see car journos complaining about the image quality of the reverse camera I lough loud 1. The camera is not for taking selfies or pictures 2. The cost of pack city 2 on a peugeot 3008 is 550 euros and includes parking sensors (front, rear and side sensors), 360 degrees camera and park assist (the one that parks the car for you) Can you tell me how much all this costs to put on an Audi please??? :-) Also about the remarks the 3008 is not an SUV... well it has 22cm of ground clearance. Tiguan has 20 and Kodiaq has 18.... You know you cant go off road with 18cm of ground clearance don't you... For comparison the a-class has 16cm of ground clearance.. Plus the peugeot has the grip control system....
Hi Mat! I really love your reviews, I follow you from Carbuyer and this channel is really a step-up! Only one issue to me, maybe 'cause I'm italian, I don't understand very well what you're saying in the top 5 good/bad things because the music is too loud and the voice volume too low. BTW the rest of the review is perfect! Thanks again and keep up with the good work!
Since 1974, I've bought a new VW every 2/3 years. Current cat is a MK7 Golf TDi (not effected by the emissions scandal). Went to look at one of these last weekend (including road test). Build quality is better than my current car. It also drives better. It's on my shortlist - after deciding not to stay with VW
I really enjoy your extensive coverage via your reviews, and your sense of humour, which eleviates any boring bits that may creep into the review. Can you please advise me if the 3008.would be a suitable car for both my wife and i, whom are pensioners in out late 70s. I would like to continue driving an SUV.type car, as it's obviously easier for us to enter and exit this type of vehicle.And as im about to change my car this year, i just want to make sure this car would be a suitable fit for me. It certainly looks quite a classy car to me, but every little bit of advice would be of great help to me, in respect to making a right and final decision. Thank you in advance.👍
James Ure The car is amazing and so far has not been proven unreliable. There are only two really bad things about it: the rear view and the super soft suspension. It just wobbles around. From my older relatives I would advise you to also test a VW Touran or Ford S-Max. Not nearly as stylish but much better to drive and easier to get in and out
I will never get this. Eho cares if it's custom just get your car off the showroom floor. I wold never wait and pay for 6 months without ever seeing the thing
If I was buying/ renewing lease today I'm would be having Peugeot 3008 this brand has hauled itself into the premier league after years in the Sunday league.Cheers Mat great review.
absolutely love my pearl white 2 litre blue hdi automatic 3008 GT ok expensive but sexy inside and out gorgeous drive and packed full of safety features love love love
Late to the party but I have been researching an upgrade to my current 308 16 plate and been offered one of these on a 19 plate. Just to say your reviews are very helpful but I like the tongue in cheek nature of them too... miaow 😂😉🐈⬛
This is my next car, ordered one without test driving. Was so glad I liked it when I finally got to try it out! Waiting 10 weeks now, so hopefully not that much long left to wait.
+Ignacio Romero Because it's the best looking inside and out, it's very practical, comfortable, good to drive, decent off road, excellent quality and it's easily the best peugeot ever made. If you're a badge snob, I think you're missing out quite frankly.
Antony Hamilton I like Peugeot, but I hate non 4x4 SUVs. What's the point of a 4x2 SUV? And I don't think it's decent off roading. I would go for every other SUV on that segment before this
totally agree with you, i don't understand the coloroptions for the 5008, the blue on the 3008 is so gorgoes, maybe the dealer or the peugeot central in your country would make an exception? psa isn't that small of a company, should be flexibel if someone wants to buy one of their biggest cars... i don't know if it counts for peugeot but a higher employee from audi ones told me "for money, we do anything you like" (considering optics ofc)^^
If you want a bigger car (to carry your drum set around) that can get you out of sticky situations, like muddy roads, and not look like a potato this is the car for you! I absolutely love my GT-line and it is quite cheap to run on long distances or trips to the mountains side every week. I haven't driven many cars in my life but this feels very relaxing and I don't arrive tired at any destination. Thumbs up for the review as well!
You said: "go ahead & buy it" & that's quite unusual of Matt..so I listened..bought this car immediately after watching your video! 😄 & u're dead right. hii'yaaa..😁
Mat, You are so cute. I love watching your reviews as they uplift so much. You are straight to the point and very entertaining too. ‘By far my favourite reviewer actually. :] in the process of buying an SUV and your reviews were a godsend! Take care and stay fun and young in looks and spirit!
I was 95% sure of buying the 2017 cx5.i did all the test drive and research until last minute my wife saw the 3008 on you tube ad.went to check it out at the dealership and the rest was history.love our pearl white pug...just a bit annoyed by pedals it a bit positioned to the middle of the steering wheel should be to the furthest right.
Cherna Domingo yeah.. the pedal position and the steering position are a bit weird. But then again it's freaking worth it. I'd rather drive in such futuristic cockpit than say, in a boring Tiguan's interior. The piano touches are a marvel to use and so practical too. The screen is big and easy to see while driving. The French indeed have such strong characters, and it shows in their cars. The French engineering, styling and ergonomics are indeed weird and need some time to get used to. But once we get used to it, we'll come to appreciate it.
Hi from from France.. and i need yr advise can you tell me please ..between Peugeot 3008 , Renault kadjar , sakoda karoq , Nissan Qashqai, with petrol 1.2 categories which one you recommend..thanks
Hi Matt. Which do you think is better, Manual or Auto? I am looking to order the GT line 1.2. I have been driving manual and would really like to try an auto car, but it’s more expensive
Peugeot is kinda underrated these days, the interior is beautiful.

Wkwkkwkw

I'm living in the USA now and miss the European cars. This is a gorgeous car and sadly here we are stuck we the boring CR-Vs and RAV4s...
They wanna expand in the US, maybe you'll see them in a few years.
You can buy the Europeanesque Nissan Juke if you like. :)
You can always buy a Tucson...
thing looks like a nicer version of the murano
Fernando Del Bono Yeah the SUV market in the U.S is so crowded that I'll just avoid it altogether
This car strikes a good balance. Not too boring like Volkswagen, but not too form-over-function like the toyota C-HR
Those incredibly tiny back windows on the C-HR are ridiculous and a deal breaker for me.
and me... I'm shopping for my upcoming Twins and they would feel like we shoved em' back up the V if I bought that car...
and not ugly as terrible kodiaq..lol
C-HR, what a silly bloody car.
Boring??? Says the Volvo guy.......

So, yeah, there they are. 4 issues I've had with the car, which all happened in the last 3~4 months.
How is the car working for you now? I was hoping to buy a used one from 2019 or above but not sure about the reliability of it. Thanks!
@@siddharthphogat5728 i have had a 68/19 petrol 1.6 EAT for 2 years with no mechanical issues at all and love how quick smooth economical and quiet it is. My only gripes are the touch screen - would much prefer buttons, and the heat/vent system is terrible. Ths air vents are completely un intuitive and the output is woeful especially in the footwells where i would say its non existent for all practical purposes eg. on cold days!
Got this...Premium Line. Loving it. Also looked at the XC40 and it really wasn't worth the extra money considering how much more the Pug gave.
This has to be my favourite cat I’ve ever had the pleasure to possess! One thing that’s mor mentioned is that it’s solidly built.. I was in a collision and the car suffered a few scrapes while the other car was absolutely battered. Walked away unscathed at 60mph
Another cracking review. Ordering my 3008 GT tomorrow !
1:52 "I couldn't be arsed" LOL
I have had a Peugeot 3008 for 6.5 years - no trouble at all, still in showroom condition - hasn't cost me a penny in repairs or unplanned maintenance (other than tyres).
I trialled the new one and for a number of reasons didn't like it or the attitude of the dealer who supplied my previous 2 Peugeots. It is better styled but (like many other marques) relies too much on toys to appeal to drivers.
I ordered the SEAT Ateca 4WD and have to wait 6 months until delivery (in France) - due end of June.
Do not believe all the negative (unproven) criticisms of Peugeot - Trolls are everywhere.
Roger Bingham sexy people who aren't fat drive smax or galaxy
Which is better
The ateca or the 3008?
People talking about german interiors, i would like to remind you that Faurecia, a huge company that provides many manufacturers like Audi or VW with entire car interiors, is a french company.
So a lot of those german car interior are actually french made.
HornyJlZZPotato and
and go back to middle school bruh
French company? Fine. But they probably have a lot of German employees....
Oop the Germans won’t like to hear that😂
i love this car! and the interior design peigeot has taken is just so amazing and second by none! love the focal sound!
for the first time he didnt say "oh this is plasticky"
So excited! Just ran across this car today! We're hoping to do the deal tomorrow!!! Lovely car for an absolute bargain!!
Absolutely beautiful and brilliant
Got my new 19 plate 3008 gt line in blood red..love it..awesome
This really is an excellent car. Modern and interesting-looking but not too over the top and still practical. And I just love how you get as standard here things you'd have to pay extra even on an Audi A6.
Another excellent review! I love all your reviews mate. Very informative and detailed. Awesome way to buy my next car.
Thanks to this video I bout My 3008 GT and I absolutely love it!!! It have a bad reputation here in Saudi because of the heat but I did my research and I got it now I can go daily afternoon in 50 Celsius weather to get my ice coffee everyday and it feels like 30 Celsius with that amazing AC
Best interior ever.
The fabric on the dash is ingenious. They should make tweed an option or something.
deathbastardable New Insignia VX Line
You can actually get it with nice and premium looking wood instead of the fabric.
Tweed is always an option...
deathbastardable the designers at Peugeot Design Lab have been doing great job lately. Chapeau!
I've seen those quite often. Peugeot really stepped up their game - they offer the best value for money and it seems like they're spot on - people like to have beautiful vehicles both inside and outside, as well as some cool features. And that's it.
Back in the days you had to order a V6 engine to get access to heated seats, panoramic sunroof, and other extras.
Hey Matt. Just picked up mine today. Exact same color😊 Drives like a dream!
I instant buyd one today !! 1.6 diesel gtline . Hes amazing !!
Love your use of creative grammar!
He didnt mention that it is one of the few FWD cars that have a decent turning radius. The steering wheel turns way more than on any other FWD car I ever tested. Made me remember Mercedes cars.
Well done peugeot. Always a great review. Thank you Matt.
Big thanks to Mat and the CarWow team.
I had a 2011 2.0 litre diesel Renault Laguna TomTom edition. This was an emergency buy as our 2nd child came along.
I spent about a year researching the next car for my family. I wanted an SUV and wanted to move back to petrol. I went back and forth between many options. But thanks to these videos I eventually settled on a Peugeot 3008 GT Line. I actually managed to get a 2019 petrol model for a really good deal. I've had the car for 4 months and it is amazing.
Thank you Mat for all the advice and review footage. I absolutely love my 3008 and there are absolutely no regrets.
Thank you.
1.2 or 1.6?
@@bokichko I got the 1.2 manual. Mat is right though, you get a lot of zip for the engine size. Fantastic car!
I think this is one of the best looking (exterior and interior) suv you can buy at that price level.
drove it 2 months ago. way better than its price says
bucwolf
Peugeot m'a réellement surpris avec ce modèle et le 5008 !! Cst du beau travail... félicitations
Like alway's, awesome review... no, not just awesome :) best on YT ;)
Which camera you use here, great 4k quality?
I'm getting mine in 4 weeks, god bless the frencies!! ⛽😘
Hi, do you mine sharing the reliability of this car after 1 year? Thanks!
Pretty reliable!
@@brahms63 srv e
809ⁿ9-8
rt bigman did you buy the car? And if you did can you share your model plz 1.6 or??? I have got vauxhall astra 1.4 its a shithole,when you have full people it drives like a snail,car have no power at all, so i am thinking to buy suv this time big and something that can pull easily when on motorway!
Hi @john evans, it has been 2 years now. How is it going with your car, so far? :)
Whenever I see car journos complaining about the image quality of the reverse camera I lough loud
1. The camera is not for taking selfies or pictures
2. The cost of pack city 2 on a peugeot 3008 is 550 euros and includes parking sensors (front, rear and side sensors), 360 degrees camera and park assist (the one that parks the car for you)
Can you tell me how much all this costs to put on an Audi please??? :-)
Also about the remarks the 3008 is not an SUV... well it has 22cm of ground clearance. Tiguan has 20 and Kodiaq has 18.... You know you cant go off road with 18cm of ground clearance don't you... For comparison the a-class has 16cm of ground clearance.. Plus the peugeot has the grip control system....
I love ur reviews very well I guest it touches every area.. One of the best reviews
Brilliant PROPER review ....well done that man...really considering this car.
i think best vehicle in budget with superb interior,and features
It is a super-duper looking car for its' money!
Nice Review Matt, i really loved that you recommended to buy it directly not just shortlist it
Just picked up my Allure today, love it, drives a dream.
Still drive as a dream?
Best looking in its class
Awesome interior!!
Hi Mat! I really love your reviews, I follow you from Carbuyer and this channel is really a step-up! Only one issue to me, maybe 'cause I'm italian, I don't understand very well what you're saying in the top 5 good/bad things because the music is too loud and the voice volume too low. BTW the rest of the review is perfect! Thanks again and keep up with the good work!
1:52 “Couldn’t be assed to do the foot waves thing” 😂😂
I drove this car for a week and I loved it, I really want to buy this car 😎
Please make a video of the new peugeot 508 2019
Enrico Costa The Best 508...
I have seen this car recently on the roads. It is such beautiful car!
those dashboard switches and that steering wheel and the look of that gear. 😍😍😍😍
Karthik Karthik when will this car come to India?
adrian chandra may be 2018 or 19
Karthik Karthik too long... by 2019 this 3008 will already be facelifted again
Since 1974, I've bought a new VW every 2/3 years. Current cat is a MK7 Golf TDi (not effected by the emissions scandal). Went to look at one of these last weekend (including road test). Build quality is better than my current car. It also drives better. It's on my shortlist - after deciding not to stay with VW
I really enjoy your extensive coverage via your reviews, and your sense of humour, which eleviates any boring bits that may creep into the review.
Can you please advise me if the 3008.would be a suitable car for both my wife and i, whom are pensioners in out late 70s.
I would like to continue driving an SUV.type car, as it's obviously easier for us to enter and exit this type of vehicle.And as im about to change my car this year, i just want to make sure this car would be a suitable fit for me.
It certainly looks quite a classy car to me, but every little bit of advice would be of great help to me, in respect to making a right and final decision.
Thank you in advance.👍
James Ure The car is amazing and so far has not been proven unreliable.
There are only two really bad things about it: the rear view and the super soft suspension. It just wobbles around.
From my older relatives I would advise you to also test a VW Touran or Ford S-Max. Not nearly as stylish but much better to drive and easier to get in and out
Sacre bleu!! peugeot got its roar and bite back since the late 2010s esp since the new 3008 clawed its way to the streets. C'est magnifique!!
The way you're exposing the car is really great 😊
I wonder what brand all the shit drivers will go to next seeming Peugeot is stepping up their game.
Jack Mayall Hahaha me too
Jack Mayall Kia!
Jack Mayall Prius
Most of the shit drivers I see are all driving AUDi's
Used BMWs, MBs or Audi s ...
i've ordered a white 3008 gt with the 180ps-diesel in december, i will pick it up on june and i'm really looking forward to it:)
Elias Pemmerl you mean a GT as that engine is only available on the GT and not the GT line.
Maybe he's lying ;D
Tony B yes i mean the gt sorry... first of all i wanted to order the 150ps diesel with gt-line:D
I will never get this. Eho cares if it's custom just get your car off the showroom floor. I wold never wait and pay for 6 months without ever seeing the thing
Elias Pemmerl Hi, is it. 6mth wait time for the GT Line?
Um dos SUV mais bonito e moderno da atualidade. Nem mesmo BMW e Mercedes Benz tem um carro tão bonito assim. Parabéns à Peugeot!
If I was buying/ renewing lease today I'm would be having Peugeot 3008 this brand has hauled itself into the premier league after years in the Sunday league.Cheers Mat great review.
The music was a bit loud at a few points, i couldn't always understand what you said
absolutely love my pearl white 2 litre blue hdi automatic 3008 GT
ok expensive but sexy inside and out
gorgeous drive and packed full of safety features love love love
This car is really roomy and practical!! I bought it three months ago and still I haven't find any issue with it despite the daily use!!!
Love your reviews! Are you planning to make one on the new 3008 facelift?
BUY IT ITS A WONDERFUL CAR
"Which is way better than anything from VW" - HAHA, exactly what I was thinking. Good pointing that out! : )
Late to the party but I have been researching an upgrade to my current 308 16 plate and been offered one of these on a 19 plate. Just to say your reviews are very helpful but I like the tongue in cheek nature of them too... miaow 😂😉🐈⬛
Rented one of these in France loved it completely. Amazing vehicle. Come to Canada please
Very nice interior. Just a shame no trim to cover the painted door frame. My pet peeve.
This is my next car, ordered one without test driving. Was so glad I liked it when I finally got to try it out!
Waiting 10 weeks now, so hopefully not that much long left to wait.
Derek Finnegan me too collect late may early June £280 month two year lease happy with that!!
It's a lovely car... I've bought one I've got 9000 miles on it already, and it was amazing at all times.
I must say I enjoys your car reviews
Nice car and amazing review.
Had the petrol model which I found to be lethargic and sore on fuel. Changed to 1500 diesel model and I can say that it is really good in every way !
1.6l turbo lethargic?
Mat Watson, you have a good sense of humour...we are trying to decide on a car based on your reviews...very helpful, thank you 😊
Thanks, dude!!! Because of this review I bought the Peugeot 3008 and I'm really enjoying it!!! THANK YOU!
The manual version of this car is perfect✌️
When is the review of the Insignia coming?
Great review. I really enjoy watching these.
I love your reviews. I wish you have reviewed Honda Insight sold in the US. You are the best!!!
Best car in its class. Period!
no
+Ignacio Romero Yes.
Antony Hamilton why
+Ignacio Romero Because it's the best looking inside and out, it's very practical, comfortable, good to drive, decent off road, excellent quality and it's easily the best peugeot ever made. If you're a badge snob, I think you're missing out quite frankly.
Antony Hamilton I like Peugeot, but I hate non 4x4 SUVs. What's the point of a 4x2 SUV? And I don't think it's decent off roading. I would go for every other SUV on that segment before this
for only 2 grand more u get the 5008 which offers 2x times the boot, and similar space to a skoda kodiaq but still lookin great
Markus LC too bad 5008 doesn't have blue magnetic color option as in 3008. If they have that too I would've been sold on 5008.
totally agree with you, i don't understand the coloroptions for the 5008, the blue on the 3008 is so gorgoes, maybe the dealer or the peugeot central in your country would make an exception? psa isn't that small of a company, should be flexibel if someone wants to buy one of their biggest cars... i don't know if it counts for peugeot but a higher employee from audi ones told me "for money, we do anything you like" (considering optics ofc)^^
Which engine do u recommend? 1.2 puretech or 1.5 diesel and why? I'm between those 2 and not sure which to select?
An excellent review Mat, comme habitude!!
If you want a bigger car (to carry your drum set around) that can get you out of sticky situations, like muddy roads, and not look like a potato this is the car for you! I absolutely love my GT-line and it is quite cheap to run on long distances or trips to the mountains side every week. I haven't driven many cars in my life but this feels very relaxing and I don't arrive tired at any destination. Thumbs up for the review as well!
Durin Thornaxe Hi, do u have the Auto Tail Boot Lid thingy on that model? I’m looking to order the GT Line in March 2018!
Hi. Manual or Auto?
My dream car ❤
Can't wait to finally drive it on the road. A real feast for the eyes 😍
You said: "go ahead & buy it" & that's quite unusual of Matt..so I listened..bought this car immediately after watching your video! 😄 & u're dead right. hii'yaaa..😁
5:03 What's wrong with the hood?
I noticed the same. I guess it was opened.
We were testing a new front aero configuration. Or something.
Love that. "or something"
bebebiskuvi I like the way u British people talk. and like say stuff it's fun
Its a Peugeout. Its expected.
I likes it.
Mat, You are so cute. I love watching your reviews as they uplift so much. You are straight to the point and very entertaining too. ‘By far my favourite reviewer actually. :] in the process of buying an SUV and your reviews were a godsend! Take care and stay fun and young in looks and spirit!
Wow that interior...that is absolutely beautiful. The lack of AWD hurts however, but I would definitely consider one if I could.
Can you please do a comparison between the Peugeot 3008, the Mazda CX-5 and the Volkswagen Tiguan highline
Jeremy Nechytaylo that's what I'm waiting for too! That comparison will be massive. I'm torn among the three.
I was 95% sure of buying the 2017 cx5.i did all the test drive and research until last minute my wife saw the 3008 on you tube ad.went to check it out at the dealership and the rest was history.love our pearl white pug...just a bit annoyed by pedals it a bit positioned to the middle of the steering wheel should be to the furthest right.
Cherna Domingo yeah.. the pedal position and the steering position are a bit weird. But then again it's freaking worth it. I'd rather drive in such futuristic cockpit than say, in a boring Tiguan's interior. The piano touches are a marvel to use and so practical too. The screen is big and easy to see while driving. The French indeed have such strong characters, and it shows in their cars. The French engineering, styling and ergonomics are indeed weird and need some time to get used to. But once we get used to it, we'll come to appreciate it.
How about the DS 7? I'm happy PSA is stepping it up!
cqdude01 it's not yet sold but u can see the youtube reviews of DS7 Presidentielle that Emmanuel Macron drives
Tbh I prefer 3008 more than DS7...
Hi from from France.. and i need yr advise can you tell me please ..between Peugeot 3008 , Renault kadjar , sakoda karoq , Nissan Qashqai, with petrol 1.2 categories which one you recommend..thanks
Hi Matt. Which do you think is better, Manual or Auto? I am looking to order the GT line 1.2. I have been driving manual and would really like to try an auto car, but it’s more expensive
