Name: Peugeot 3008 (2024 – present) | Expert Rating | The Car Expert
Item: Peugeot 3008
Rating: 68.0

Summary

The Peugeot 3008 is a petrol/electric hybrid mid-sized family SUV/crossover vehicle. It arrived in the UK in early 2024, with a longer-range version joining the line-up later in the year.

The 3008 is available with either a plug-in hybrid or basic hybrid (no plug) powertrain. There’s also a fully electric version called the E-3008, which isn’t included here. We have a separate Expert Rating page for that car.

As with the electric E-3008, reviewers have liked the 3008’s style but have been critical of its substance. Carwow commends the “upmarket interior” and Paul Barker agrees that it’s “stunning”, while Ted Welford at Car laments that “it’s simply not as roomy or flexible as a vehicle in this class should be”

As of September 2025, the Peugeot 3008 holds a New Car Expert Rating of B, with a score of 68%. It scores top marks for its five-star Euro NCAP safety rating and low CO₂ emissions, while overall running costs are also good. However, Peugeot’s new car warranty coverage is only average and the 3008’s media review scores have been poor.

“The cabin is stunning and dominated by the huge 21-inch infotainment screen, although that does have usability issues. To drive, the hybrid also feels more comfortable than the E-3008 over bumps, but it’s still not the most cosseting of SUVs, and the powertrain could be quicker to respond.”

“Peugeot’s stylish new 3008 comes with hybrid power and an upmarket interior, but although it’s cheaper than the electric E-3008, there are more affordable hybrid alternatives out there.”

“Ultimately, the Peugeot 3008 falls behind the best family crossovers owing to the fact its simply not as roomy or flexible as a vehicle in this class should be. The interior and general design are all just a lesson in style over substance. Peugeot can do better.”

“The Peugeot 3008 now gets mild and plug-in hybrid options bringing down the price, but this stylish SUV could still be a family SUV you buy with your heart instead of your head.”

“The latest third-generation version of the Peugeot 3008 feels like a very logical evolution of Peugeot’s popular midsize family SUV. If we’re honest, it’s taken something of a backwards step compared to its predecessor when it comes to driving dynamics, but in pretty much every other area, it’s seen improvements, and big ones in some of them.”

“The interior is also among the best in this class in terms of look and feel. The rear seats have a disappointing lack of space and it generally lacks the flexibility of the best family SUVs. It all just feels like a case of style over substance.”

“The third gen 3008 doesn’t feel like a revolution. For many, that’ll be a win. Refined hybrid powertrain, but ride could be better.”

The Peugeot 3008 is a reasonably affordable car to own and run, according to whole-life cost numbers provided exclusively to The Car Expert by our data partner, Clear Vehicle Data. However, it does depend on which model you choose.

The plug-in hybrid inevitably provides much better fuel economy than the basic hybrid, as you can do much more driving on electric power with less need to engage the petrol engine. However, that does require plugging the car in regularly to make sure the battery is fully charged before each journey.

Warranty rating

New car warranty information for the Peugeot 3008

Overall ratingC56%
New car warranty duration3 years
New car warranty mileage60,000 miles
Battery warranty duration8 years
Battery warranty mileage100,000 miles

Peugeot’s new car warranty is pretty much the bare minimum offered in the UK, with a duration of three years and a limit of 60,000 miles. Other rivals in the price bracket do better (and in some cases, much better).

In addition to the standard new car warranty, battery components of the 308 (all models are hybrid or plug-in hybrid) have an eight-year/100,000-mile warrantys.

Warranty on a used Peugeot 3008

The Peugeot 3008 arrived in the UK in the middle of 2024. That means the first cars won’t be out of new car warranty until the middle of 2027 (unless they hit the 60,000-mile limit before then).

If you’re looking to buy a used car that is approaching the end of its warranty period, a used car warranty is usually a worthwhile investment. Check out The Car Expert’s guide to the best used car warranty providers, which will probably be cheaper than a warranty sold by a dealer.
