The Peugeot 3008 is an elegant SUV, which is yet to be released by the French manufacturer which initiated its sales and production operations in Pakistan in 2022, bagging the title of the first European manufacturer to have penetrated Pakistan.

This car looks much the same as Toyota’s Corolla Cross in terms of its physical traits, meanwhile, it actually seems to be combating Nissan Qashqai and VW Tiguan as its rivals.

If one is to add another SUV on the roads, then this Peugeot 3008 should be the most likely choice for a wide range of reasons which will be reflected upon below.

Exterior

Its breakthrough front is adorned with LED headlights and SDL functions, handing it an assertive presence of strength and smoothness.

It is truly an extremely striking vehicle from the outside, for its facelift comprises a new frameless grille that is similar to that of the 508 saloon, angular front and rear lights and slots in the front wings that are befitting alongside the front grille accompanied by gloss black side scoops and a painted lower bumper.

Interior

This top-of-the-range SUV boasts an ergonomic driving position, making sure that the enhanced comfort zone remains intact along with a compact multi-function steering wheel.

Adding to its goodness, a 10″ captivating colour touchscreen combined with 3D navigation with voice control and multi-touch technology adds greater levels of functionality, meanwhile, the elegant chrome piano keys on the dashboard provide quick and intuitive access to the various comforting functions offered by the company.

Pros

  • Sporty exterior look
  • Many safety features
  • Good fuel economy
  • Comfortable drive

Cons

  • High maintenance cost
  • At high speeds, stability decreases
  • A blind spot for rear view
