Quick Summary

The Peugeot 3008 (2009-2016) is a versatile crossover that blends SUV, MPV, and hatchback elements, making it an excellent family transporter. While its styling might not win awards, its practical design offers considerable interior space, a large boot, and good headroom. Build quality for its era is impressive, with a distinctive wraparound dashboard. A clever split-opening tailgate adds to its practicality, making loading larger items easier. As a used car, it represents significant value for money.

On the road, the 3008 prioritises comfort, offering a smooth ride suitable for long journeys, though it's surprisingly competent in bends, especially with the optional Dynamic Roll Control.

Standard equipment is generous, including air conditioning and electronic stability control on all versions, with higher trims offering features like a panoramic sunroof. While infotainment is dated, Bluetooth was standard. It achieved a five-star Euro NCAP rating in 2009, providing good safety for its time.
