No matters what you comment I bought this car 2weeks I love it
Viel Spaß mit diesen fantastischen schönen Auto 😊
Lovely car agree back end not very nice. look around at any car modal and you will away something not liked. Enjoy your car.
Does it have a power tailgate
Imagine if you spilt a drink on that fabric inside the cabin...good luck cleaning it off
@@hisspwn4290 I was going to get it today but yeh that light fabric is putting me off I have kids as well 😅
Nice interior design. Peugeot 3008 is the best selling and buying car in the market right now.
Another classy Peugeot model, pure and simple.
Seems very quiet too
A lot of the complaints like the plastic on the doors, the electric door on the back, the cup holders on the back are present on the GT version plus a lot of other features which for some reason she makes it like its non existing. There are sacrifices when picking up the entry level option....
I’ve just ordered this as my mobility car
You're lovely to listen to, nice to look at, and know what you're talking about! I enjoy your car reviews!
Toyota has been the class leader in hybrid for a few decades. While their interior isn't as nice as others, the transmission and reliability are the best.
I have a Honda Civic E-HEV hybrid I can assure you it's better than anything Toyota produces and the reviewers worldwide all agree if anyone is thinking of getting a self-charging practical yet surprisingly fast car you could do a lot worse, this 3008 is not only a lot slower than my car it's not as economical either.
I had a civic and would not buy Honda again, build quality was terrible with terrible rattles. Have a Toyota Corolla now and it build quality is street’s ahead
@@johnmcelroy347 Where was your car built and is it the 11th gen? mine was Japan, 2024 model, and I have to say I have no rattles or build quality issues at all. The Corolla is a nice car but that CVT gearbox would drive me mad plus it has a small boot so for me was never an option, personally the interior of the Civic is better overall, again a personal opinion.
@@shreeshsaurya4203 I nearly bought the C-HR but the 2.0l was over £40,000 which put it into the luxury car tax bracket of £590 per year for 5 years, my car Civic E-HEV Advance was just under so is only £180 a year, that is a lot of extra money saved, yes the fuel consumption and performance are very similar the C-HR is a nice looking car as well.
Toyota hybrid transmission is horrible, it's noise damaged better on the newer cars but still a very laggy transmission. Mercedes hybrid transmission is much nicer.
It's very nice. I did 69,000 miles in 5008 GT Premium over three years and it was really comfortable. I couldn't order the new shape when it came to choose my next car, so I've gone for a Karoq Sportline as the Kodiak wasn't out either. It's nice to drive but it's not as good as my Peugeot.
Thank you for mentioning about the lack of auto hold and it's sluggishness when you press the pedal down. Believe me anyone driving this car will curse out loudly because of these two issues. It's so irritating to keep the brake pedal pressed down on traffic lights and the dangerous lack of confidence that comes when you know that you won't be able to escape a busy roundabout because your car will not respond to your pushing the accelerator. That too at £34K! Don't know why many reviewers do not mention these extremely important features. So good work auto social 🎉
Try and drive one, you will be surprised. Not true at all. they are just nitpicking
My C200 Mercedes has the lag between hitting the throttle and going. But it could be just mine. Dead set lemon. Bits falling off. Repainting it bit by bit as each panel the paint starts to bubble. Mercedes refuse to pay for it. Even pur mechanic has told us to get rid of it. So disappointing. Just cant make my mind up what to buy. My old Merc i had for 10 years and was a great car. Sold it to a guy at work who has had it 6 years and he just sold it to his neighbour. One tough, drive it like its stolen car.
So alluring! ❤Love the 3008 but would always opt for the Hybrid/Petrol versions
I resisted buying the 2023 or 2024 Peugeots simply because they are using the wrong engines. I knew they had discontinued the Diesel engines (2022 was the last) so I looked for a 3008 late model with the diesel engine. Found a demonstrator with the 2.0L diesel engine. $A20,000 saving on new price. Mine is a 2022 3008GT HDi (2.0L diesel) I don't know if they provide this engine in the UK, however, despite being at least 15 years old, it is light years ahead of the current engines. Plenty of power, indestructible. Both specialist mechanics I spoke to recommended this engine.
Hi Tish after watching your video a couple of times and had a test drive of the MGHS Hybrid and the 3008 was unsure of the dashboard mounted info screen but it was unobtrusive when I sat in it, loved the typically French small steering wheel
One thing you would never be able to wash the roof without a step ladder, roof almost your head height, crazy, as over 50% of people can’t charge a car outside where they live, hybrid the way to go, battery power in town.
Nah. Think more. I took my 5008 and an SUV before that to a car wash and the guys just hold the rail and stand on the tires. Easy if you are blessed with an imagination and some grey matter. 5 sheep too!
It's just the dogs bollocks Tish we love it.
Peugeots are just great!!!❤
Nobody is willing to talk about the symptoms of a market failure flooded by expensive crossover-SUVs?
Only people who are 6' and over should be allowed to buy an SUV.
I am. It’s not a market failure- it’s a post pandemic market stall making with inflated prices. The expense will fall away in 2-3 years. The market will never fail.
@@xhy20x because that is what decides driver competence😂…🤦♂️
@@richgl31 yes, especially if their limbs are too short!
@@xhy20x Why? my mum finds it easier to get in and out of an SUV than regular car, which she finds too low down and she's only 5'4" so when shes driving she can see more of the road.
The dash looks like its been lifted from the Starship Enterprise!
I found your review very informative but like so many others you did not cover the all round visibility especially for when driving around town and when parking in tight spaces.
When my wife was looking for her latest car, the rear view and the parking assistance systems were high on the “must have” list, well above the number of cup holders.
The 360 degree camera systems on the Hyundai,Kia and BYD are great examples and in the case of the BYD’s it is standard across the entire range and was a major factor in her choice of the BYD Atto 3 Design.
I have noticed a general increase in the amount of open storage bays in modern cars. While this looks great when empty, the serious downsides are the likelihood of loose items causing hazards such as a drink can under the brake pedal or just a distraction for the driver. One other negative is the increased likelihood of occupants leaving valuables on display when they exit the car increasing the probability of break ins and thefts. Very few reviewers ever mention security, immobilisers, alarms, and connections to mobile Apps, such as the Tesla Sentry system. I realise that you don’t want your videos to be too long but these issues are important.
I don’t think I would want a car with a dash board that looks like a video arcade
You are entitled to your own opinion. I find that car absolutely superb. Outside and inside.Interiors are futuristic and it works so well. You really have poor taste.
Most cars have a touch screen of some type.
@@garnray8568 no I don’t mind touchscreen when I’m at home with my iPad and phone, but when I’m driving for safety reasons physically buttons respond more quickly I find then Slo-mo touchscreens the manufacturers. I just try and save money by cutting out physical buttons.
Looks a good car, you said at the beginning it was a mild hybrid but it can run for a short time on battery surely that makes it a full hybrid
@@AlanMacdonald-on6nd yes I actually went into this in more detail but it was a bit waffly so I cut it out. I think it’s more classed towards mild because of how little it runs on electric.
@@AutoSocialUK waffly 😆 🤣 😂
Definitely with you on the flat rear…ugly. Considering the care taken with the rest of the design it seems odd. I have a 4 year old 3008… and it really is only the power that has been a disappointment. I was due to change this year but decided to wait until the market settles a bit ; then CX5 (still a power issue though there- but maybe the new one will sort?), xc40, Scenic or Sportage probably for me. Great review though-thanks.
Tish does not bring the Monday BLUES!❤🤭
I like this car.
Thank you for watching
Any chance of you reviewing the MGHS Hybrid + it looks far better than the outgoing model, I'm motability customer and my Hyundai Ioniq is due for replacement in December and they won't sell the car to me so I'm looking around for ideas and after fully watching your review here I don't think I would go for this pug
I have one booked in for the end of this month ☺️ it looks good
@@AutoSocialUK great
u look good in it
An electric car is only clean when you use it, it pollutes in different ways. Manufacturing, disposal, recycling etc. It can be clean on charging depending on the source but selling the idea that it is eco friendly is only a marketing tactic. For me it is just a different type of fuel source. Don't mind it just saying the marketing is a bit of a lie, there are lots of Grey areas.
Talking utter waffle. The cradle to grave emissions for an ev vs ice or vs a hybrid is incomparable even when charged by a coal plant. Cant get away from e motors running at 95%+ efficiency & cleaner air in towns and cities preventing deaths and increasing gdp. I own multiple performance ice cars and a model s ludicrous. The tesla gets chosen 95% of the time.
@@iCozzh Utter balderdash...That's right, store the pollution and blame the power stations, exploit poor people in Congo, create an eco hazzard in 8 years with your dodgy lithium battery. Let's see how you will cope when there's a power cut.
Spot on! 💯
@@iCozzh Not sure where you get your figures from, nearly every report I have read says the manufacture of an EV results in vastly more emissions and is only offset after many years by which time the battery will have degraded so the cycle starts all over again, one-day batteries made by more eco-friendly means may be the way forward, EVS currently are not viable for a lot of people me included they take too long to charge, there are not enough public chargers for those with no drive, and public chargers here in the UK are far too expensive per mile. I have a self-charging hybrid, that IS the sensible option economy and no range anxiety.
@@pillred5974 are you inept at reading from cradle to grave?
Battery degradation is an absolute lie teslas degrade 12% on avg over 200k miles driven.
Avg commute in the uk is 20miles a day and the avg ev goes well over 250, just talking shite.
What a bizarre model you are testing. The Allure trim, hence why no lined door bins, electric boot or cup holders in the back (all which the GT spec has), but then you have a sunroof. Which is a £1200 added option. So a bit confusing. Would the review have been different in the all singing/ dancing GT spec????
Thought the exact same thing, also the back seat storage is netting not material envelopes.
Lovely looking car, bring on the PHEV version, this will be the winner
I am looking forward to seeing how much range you'll get with the PHEV.
I wouldn’t consider a mild hybrid because they generally speaking never drive on pure electric. For me the only viable option is a full hybrid, and they tend to be a bit thin on the ground at the moment.
Try a Honda Civic E-HEV a fair few are now coming onto the second-hand market.
Why didn’t you show and drive the GT model then you’d of had the rear centre arm rest and cup holders and a electric tailgate
Does the 2025 model have the option of a diesel engine.? If so, that is a great move.
personally i wouldnt go for a SUV with mild hybrid, espically with only a 1.2ltr, 3 cylinder engine, thats more for a small town car/hatchback like the 208, minimum i would like to see is the same a kia/hyundai with the 1.6 engines you get in sportage/tuscons.
the 1.6 Plug-in Hybrid 195cv 7 speed e-Dsc suites much better to this car...
Try and drive one, you will be surprised. No need for larger engine at all
@@tarzan-t I disagree.
I enjoyed watching the Video Review, I particularly like the Interior design as It different to any other rival SUV
11k saving mild hybrid and obviously does over 50mpg. Most modern cars do epic MPG. I see no credible reason buy an EV unless massively depreciated a few years old and then only in certain cases. On a PCP surely the mild hybrid makes more sense
Ive had a mild hybrid...plug in hybrid and now a toyota strong hybrid that thats where im going to stay...mild hybrids are just a loop hope manufacturers have done to keep from the switch to ev....
Thought that was the new nissan qashqai front!😮
Will you review Tata Curvv?
@@Vagabond_22 will they be selling in the UK?

Hi, Tish 💙
I can't really see the point in mild hybrids. They're just ticking the box of "hybrid" but don't really help out a lot.
If you're really going for a hybrid, get a plug in hybrid as these can do 100km on a charge these days and you have the existing service stations for petrol on long journeys.
Until the charging infrastructure catches up, it's the only option. Public opinion agrees and this is why it's the biggest growing sector in UK car sales.
Self-charging hybrids are an even better option especially if you have no access to a drive or garage to charge, plug-ins are fine until you want to go on a decent run then after 40 or so miles you are lugging around a lot of extra weight and they become quite inefficient and public chargers are very expensive, my car (a Honda Civic EHEV) does well over 60mpg on a run and NEVER needs charging.
@@pillred5974 Plugins are self charging too 😃
The battery on a plugin isn't really that heavy and adds around 150kg to a standard car.
I got 55mpg on a motorway journey with an empty battery. It works just like a standard hybrid.
Elaborate design in SUV's seems more special...
We’ve got a Peugeot 2008 GT with a 1.2 155bhp engine ( instead of the 134bhp one ) which I think would be an ideal power train for this new 3008, sadly though it’s no longer available, which is a shame as in my opinion it is a far better option….
Yes I agree, The plug in hybrids will increase the power but we all know that is just until the electric runs dry. 155 would have been perfect
Your right Tish. No one makes a dash look as bad as Peugeot. The Kia Sportage does it better and so does the Renault Scenic.
I quite like this floating screen but I agree, both those cars look great
@@AutoSocialUK I just see it as being a nightmare to clean underneath it Tish and it will be a dust collector.
Another striking looking car from Peugeot.
My boss has recently got one of these, please can you settle an argument 😂 is it and SUV or a crossover? 😂
Just another ugly jelly mould lol
@@Willo1991 I guess it would be a crossover due to the lack of 4 wheel drive and ground clearance?
Yeeeeeeees 😂 thanks Tish this will be used as evidence on Monday 😂
@@Willo1991Actuslly it's a crossover Fastback to use the full term a bit like the Renault Arkana but more modern.
The new Renault Rafale is also a fastback, and the Peugeot 408 is one too.
Not a bad looking car. The rear reminds me of an Evogue for some reason. I dont like the trend for black/silver rims though. And those horrid plastic areo fins that go with them
Yes I can see what you mean by Evoque. Thank you for watching
🎉
I like the jumpsuit , car not so much
I'm sure it has a power tailgate
@@bassa69 not this particular model
Nice car, I will buy a plugin
dumb
Can we agree to stop talking about Toyota Reliability as if other cars are not. The truths is Toyota buyers are typically persons that go by the book so tend to follow the regular maintenance schedule and don't push them close to the limits, Peugeot owners are more adventurous and tend to push the limits of the car more often
What a complete load of rubbish. My last car was a 3008 300hp version. Yes it was a good to drive vehicle but had so many niggly issues. Covered over 90k in 3 years and to be honest wouldn’t want another one. It ate tires had numerous issues, biggest issue costing £10k when the rear axle exploded and needed replacing. Having now moved on to a RAV4 plug in hybrid having covered 76k in 2 years it drives like it has just come out of the showroom. Yes it has to be serviced every 10k but these services are cheaper than the 3008 and in the time I have had the RAV4 I haven’t had a single issue. I know which I would rather own. There is a reason people speak highly of there Toyotas reliability and that because they are so bloody good at what they do.
Having tried a couple of Peugeots, I can't get past the awful steering wheel and the fact that I can't see most of the important parts of the dash when I sit in my ideal driving position.
What's is wrong with having a round wheel.
Renault do it better, in my opinion
Another good honest review, Tish
haha that is completely fair. They only really work for smaller people but I know you can eventually get used to them but why compromise??
@@AutoSocialUK Completely disagree. I am 6ft tall and my grandson is 6ft 3". Took us a very short time to find a good driving position. Many people don't seem to be able to move the steering wheel and seat adjustments in tandem.. I would never go back to the big steering wheel. Have seen the issues with UK reviewers (I live in Australia), when I bought my 2022 3008 I specifically looked at the issue. My wife is 5ft 2" so we are quite different in stature. We had no trouble and we asked the salesmen what the issue was. He gave a two answer. THE DRIVER - and I agree.
BTW I bought a Diesel (2.0L)- much better engine and gearbox set up.
No cupholders are not acceptable on that price of car.
It has cup holder though
@@AmrisaelWERE!!!!!!! as the video does not show it
@@wayneheyes4934 look at her hand at 3:40
Nobody double checked that thumbnail did they?
10.50 before the reviewer got into the car to drive it. Seems to happen with UK car reviewers. Cars are a mode of transport not a fashion item.!!!
Sound is like the 1970s
I bought a full hybrid and., running on standard unleaded fuel (not premium) the car regularly achieves around 75 mpg.
Are you liking it? I'm going to be getting one.
My 16 astra k 1.6 diesel is 88 co2 km and gives me 62 mpg , so in that in mind I don't see buying this just to see higher co2 and less mpg 🤔 in real world use how many hybrids are giving you 62 mpg in a city driving 🤔
On a positive note , awesome review and not a great car
Still using a 'wet belt'?
No, it is a different engine. It has a chain instead of a wet timing belt. Hopefully a lot more durable and reliable.
@@paloveczgabor1452 yes,yes and we all beleve in lies like you..
Absolutely pathetic that Peugeot cannot be bothered to shift the fuse box so a good sized glove box can be provided, No rear cupholders no wonder the Stalantis group is in the deep do do Tish.
Best car in it’s class but Toyota Corolla byprid more powerful same price ,
Hybrid cars are a waste of time and money Tish. Just buy a petrol of full EV why drag along a heavy set of batteries to get 27miles of range it cost money to charge them then money to fill the tank of petrol. Dealership won't have you believe this is the way forward but these hybrid cars cost more to buy and run then full petrol of full EV. 😮
I do actually agree with you on this.... when referencing a PLUG IN hybrid. In this case of mild/strong hybrids where they improve fuel economy significantly. I think its good.
Peugeot urus
3008 with diesel engine has better fuel economy than hybrid and is much cheaper
The Diesel is no longer available
@@AutoSocialUK they should bring it back
@@AutoSocialUK unfortunately diesel is dead :(
@@gonxme4 I actually went and bought the last of the diesels (a 2022 demonstrator) rather than buying the 2023-24 hybrid or petrol engines. Saved $20,000 and got a much better car. Engine has heaps of power, even when fully laden.
Nope )
Obviously having few advantages comparing with ICE and EV, hybrids combining both worlds increase complexity to the next level. At the same time polluting the environment with exhaust, used motor oil etc. and using same (far from flawless) batteries tech like EVs.
14:18 PM Everything in this category is better than this. Hate the exterior and the interior, I just don't like anything about this SUV. It sucks.
And premium VED £600 a year now ! No not good enough
Dont agree with redundant climate control. The shortcuts on the touchscreen and swappable. So mot really!
Tried the previous model & couldn't manage the stupid small steering wheel & obstructive view of the dash.
This looks no better.
I bought a Toyota RAV4 instead.
The small steering wheel DOES NOT obstruct your view of the dash. You don't know how to set it up. Took my wife about a minute to organise.
It's woefully underpowered for its size.
Don't like the wheels.

Don't like the current gen Peugeot designs at all - they're trying too hard. The exteriors are just about ok (for an SUV), but the interiors are too busy and that steering wheel - oh my. Just put a normal wheel in the car!
I thought square steering wheels went out with the Austin Allegro in the 1970s!
@@sthillarys52if that’s your reference, I don’t think the design is meant for you
I had a Peugeot with the bigger steering wheel - 2012 308. Changed to a 2022 3008. Small steering wheel and i-cockpit are brilliant.
Hall Larry White Jessica Robinson Paul
Good design inside and out but Stellantics rep for poor reliability 😱 pass.
They have not had a bad rep since the early 2010's, most of their modern engines and electrics are more reliable than the German alternatives.
@@tonyb1223 Better then German alternatives isn't saying a lot 😆 and doesn't the 3008 have a wet belt the same as Ford's Eco boom engines?
@@Silver-st2zqYes it does. There is people out there blindly buying rubbish VW Golf's and Audis just because of the reputation of them but they are badly built and unreliable yet people still pick on the French makes when that are actually much much better and wsy more relible than the rubbish German cars now.
@@sharonec5419 Better electrics would help when that wet belt ruins the engine......
Modern Peugeot have a weird low steering wheel, just can’t see the speedo etc, terrible design.
In reality it's excellent. You position the small steering wheel below the high set instrument cluster and have a fully uninterrupted view of the instruments.
@@jdmguy44 Yes thanks, but I like to sit in a car not up high, this is totally not what I would buy, but same design in smaller cars.
@@jdmguy44Maybe when there was proper instrument clusters in front of the wheel like in the last 3008 etc but it just does not work with that horrible screen in front of it.
@@51madmitch Gee - so you can't adjust???? I just shake my head in disbelief.
@@allanbriggs9007 No not if your a certain high or like to sit low, watch 5th gear TV episode, they had the same problem, as did Car magazine, just not right, i shake my head in disbelief you don’t do any research into this.

Your hard to please. I can imagine this woman is high maintenance.
The rear end is totally hideous!
I disagree. I think that and the side are its best views. The dash is a mess, and the front is hideous.
@@sharonec5419 Basically another prime example of a controversial modern car design then, although I must admit to always having had a liking for the exterior of the previous 3008 (despite being someone of “mature years”!), but the dashboard design of that model, & even more so this one is just not for me, especially the stupid “squared off” steering wheel which first appeared in an Austin Allegro in the 1970s!!
If it's not a PLUG IN HYBRID stick to the EV for god's sake
I went to see the new Peugeot 3008 Hybrid in a huge shithole. And then I found the electric version in a massive shithole.
Buahaha 1.2 engine with massive problems just like Ford 1.0...who will buy crap engine..
You know they redesigned this engine a few years ago don't you? It is chain driven and not a wet belt.
