Peugeot 3008: An Underrated Mid-Sized SUV

The Peugeot 3008 predecessor was… let’s call it colorless, but with the second generation the French have come up with a winner.

The improvement in styling and refinement is considerable, both externally and internally as well as in on-road performance. finweek spent time in the 3008 HDi diesel variant of this characterful mid-sized SUV.

The French have come up with a winner in the uniquely restyled and more refined Peugeot 3008.

Unique styling

The Peugeot 3008 is as uniquely different in the front as it is at the rear. It features a chunky, bold front, while three vertical LED taillights and rear spoiler differentiate its rear.

A flowing form that has plenty of chrome bits, like its roof railings, give the 3008 presence – something it did not previously have.

It’s not your typical design in the cabin either. There’s a quirky, yet premium look, which includes unusual piano-like toggle switches. A combination of soft plastic and robust fabric is used on the dashboard.
