NEW PEUGEOT 3008 HYBRID 2025 REVIEW AUSTRALIA

EV Channels Review

The new generation Peugeot 3008 Hybrid presents a compelling, albeit pricey, option in the premium SUV segment. Its striking coupe-like styling and plush interior, highlighted by a massive 21-inch curved display and ambient lighting, create a genuine wow factor. The reviewer praises its likable and livable driving experience, noting the peppy 1.2L three-cylinder turbo petrol engine paired with mild-hybrid tech, agile steering, and confident handling. However, the vehicle isn't without its drawbacks. Concerns are raised about potential cost-cutting indicators like the Giti tires and thin paint on the fuel filler cap. The reviewer also points out the reflective material in front of the steering wheel causing glare and the lack of a front center airbag, despite a comprehensive suite of other ADAS features. While the official combined cycle fuel consumption is impressive, the real-world figure achieved was slightly higher. The price is considered a significant consideration, with the top-spec GT Premium trim reaching $122,000. Despite these points, the 3008 Hybrid is recommended for those seeking a stylish, feature-rich SUV with a premium feel, provided the price is acceptable.
