Peugeot 3008 (2016-2023) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Cabin is spacious and well made	Not an exciting car to drive
Lots of high-tech equipment	Panoramic sunroof eats into headroom
Affordable running costs	Hybrid 4 only comes in pricey GT trim

Quick Summary

The Peugeot 3008 (2016-2023) is Peugeot's stylish answer to the compact crossover market, marking a significant shift from its predecessor towards slicker design and an upmarket feel. This second-generation model quickly became a strong seller and remains one of the best family SUVs available used. Its interior still feels fresh, featuring a digital i-Cockpit, high build quality, and good materials. Crucially for families, it offers high practicality with plenty of legroom, headroom, and a substantial boot, though the hybrid model's boot is slightly smaller.

On the road, the 3008 prioritises comfort and relaxation, offering a composed and poised drive, with its small steering wheel contributing to a nimble feel. Engine options include efficient petrol (1.2 PureTech 130 recommended) and diesel (1.5 BlueHDi 130 recommended) units, alongside plug-in hybrids with impressive potential MPG. Trim levels are generous, even the entry-level Active includes 17-inch alloys and rear parking sensors, while higher trims add features like a reversing camera, satnav, LED headlights, and heated, massaging seats. It's a safe choice, boasting a five-star EuroNCAP rating and various driver aids. Running costs are affordable, with competitive fuel economy and fixed-price servicing options.

Best for: Those seeking a stylish and practical family SUV, buyers who appreciate a high-quality, modern interior with plenty of tech, and drivers prioritising comfort and relaxation over driving excitement.

Not ideal for: Drivers prioritising an exhilarating driving experience, those sensitive to potential headroom issues with a panoramic sunroof, or buyers expecting the infotainment system to be as responsive as the very best (pre-facelift).

You should buy the 3008 if: You're looking for a stylish, practical, and comfortable family SUV with a high-quality, tech-rich interior and affordable running costs.
