Name: Peugeot 3008 (2024 – present) | Expert Rating | The Car Expert
Item: Peugeot 3008
Rating: 63.0

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 e-3008’s style but have been critical of its substance. Carwow commends the “upmarket interior” and Paul Barker agrees that it’s “stunning”, but Mark Tisshaw at Autocar finds that “the drive lacks both pep and stand-out efficiency”, 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 November 2024, the Peugeot 3008 holds a New Car Expert Rating of C, with a score of 63%. It scores top marks for its low CO₂ emissions, but overall running costs are only average and media review scores to date have been poor. We don’t yet have a Euro NCAP test score for the 3008, which could push the overall rating up or down once it is published and added to our scoring system.

Model reviewed: 3008 Hybrid GT
Score: 7 / 10
“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.”

“The Peugeot 3008 has plenty of style inside and out, with some cabin sophistication too – but the drive lacks both pep and stand-out efficiency.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.
