2017 Peugeot 3008 SUV: price, specs and release date - See more at: The new Peugeot 3008 SUV has been revealed in Paris. The car previews a new design direction for the company along with giving it an up-to-date rival to the likes of the Nissan Qashqai, Renault Kadjar and Kia Sportage. It’s the first to get the latest version of the company’s i-cockpit – known for its small steering wheel and digital dials that sit above it. The design seems to have been improved in the new model so that your view of the car’s systems will never be obstructed as they have in past models. All 3008s come with a huge infotainment screen complete with super-crisp graphics – it’ll be compatible with Apple Carplay, Mirror Link and Android Auto, allowing easy integration with smartphone apps sat-nav, music streaming and various other functions. Quality has been massively improved. Most of the interior has soft-to-the-touch expensive plastics, fabric trims pieces and satisfyingly cold-to-the-touch metal switchgear – it’s certainly more interesting to look at than the inners of its aforementioned rivals. Even the interior warning sounds are, we’re told, designed to be easy on the ear, and the options list includes a stereo made by French hi-fi company Focal. The 3008 can even be scented with a choice of three “exquisite” perfumes. The new 3008 is 8cm longer than the old model and can easily accommodate four six-footers, with front-seat passengers getting the option to spec full-body massage seats. The boot apparently has the lowest load lip in the segment and also opens electrically, so the new 3008 should score well in our practicality test. From launch Peugeot will offer the car with a folding electric scooter that lives in a load-bay-charging dock and offers a 10km range. We’re more interested in how the car drives, though, and have to say the initial signs are positive. Based on the same MP2 platform that underpins the 308 (and of course the GTi), it’s 100kgs lighter than the old model and Peugeot’s making bold claims that it’ll be the best car to drive in its class. It’ll come with the company’s proven PureTech petrol and Blue HDi diesel engines – with the potential for around 80mpg fuel economy when combined with the company’s AT6 automatic gearbox.

Updated 20 April ’16 The 2017 replacement for the Peugeot 3008 will feature an updated version of the firm’s i-Cockpit concept (pictured above) that’ll improve both driver comfort and safety. Read on for full details and pictures of the new cabin – expected to be fitted to numerous Peugeot models in the near future. Simply speaking, i-Cockpit is Peugeot’s term for its latest cabin design – characterised by an unusually small steering wheel and dials mounted above rather than behind it. The first-generation i-Cockpit has already seen service with 208, 2008 and 308 models but, the 3008 is expected to be the first car to feature the revised system. If you can’t wait for the new model, Peugeot will be offering progressively better discounts on the outgoing version. Put the current Peugeot 3008 in our car configurator to see the deals carwow could help you get. The new system features a head-up display working in tandem with a 12.3-inch digital screen on top of the dash in place of conventional dials, similar to Audi’s excellent Virtual Cockpit system. The steering wheel will be mounted below rather than in front of the display to ensure the driver’s view of the screen is unobstructed. Peugeot claims this will make its cars safer by removing the need to look away from the road to regularly check sat-nav directions or your speed. Peugeot has reduced the size of the steering wheel further from its already diminutive proportions to offer drivers increased knee and leg room and aid forward visibility. The smaller wheel is also claimed to improve handling by requiring less arm movement to achieve a given amount of turning. Additional changes include a new eight-inch touchscreen display on the centre console that controls the infotainment system. Peugeot’s i-Cockpit previews new atmospheric lighting with customisable settings, massaging front seats and a built in fragrance diffuser – all features that could be fitted to high-spec 3008 models.
