ALL-NEW PEUGEOT 3008 PETROL REVIEW - A BETTER BUY THAN THE TIGUAN?

EV Channels Review

The Peugeot 3008 petrol mild-hybrid presents a compelling package, particularly for buyers prioritizing value and distinctive styling. The reviewer highlights its expressive exterior design and unique interior, especially the optional 21-inch curved display, which creates a "wow" factor for its price segment. Positives include comfortable and well-designed driver's seats, a pleasant driving experience with agile handling and a surprisingly capable suspension for highway speeds, and a practical boot space. However, criticisms are leveled at the less comfortable passenger seat, the somewhat cheap feel of adjustable headrests, and the sluggish engine performance, especially for a vehicle of its size, where a four-cylinder might have been preferable. The reviewer also cautions against mistaking the mild-hybrid system for a full hybrid. Despite these drawbacks, the 3008's attractive pricing, significantly undercutting rivals like the VW Tiguan, makes it a strong contender, especially in markets without substantial EV incentives.
