Peugeot is rolling out minor model-year updates to its 3008 and 5008 SUV models, with minor cosmetic changes and increased availability of the 3008 plug-in hybrid engine option.
Mirroring similar changes to the smaller 208 and 2008 ranges, the latest updates bring changes to the entry-level ‘Active Premium’ and mid-range ‘Allure Premium’ trim grades, which are now called ‘Active Premium+’ and ‘Allure Premium+’.
These consist predominantly of dark tinted windows and either aluminium or black body trim pieces, depening on model.
The most notable change to the 3008 range is the addition of a cheaper plug-in hybrid (PHEV) option. Previously, it was only available on mid-range and top-spec models, but has now been extended across the 3008 range.
This means the entry-level price for a 3008 plug-in hybrid is now around £1,500 cheaper than before. Priced at just north of £37k, this basic model also comes with more equipment than equivalent entry-level petrol and diesel models, such as a larger ten-inch infotainment screen and faux-leather upholstery.
There are no exterior styling or powertrain changes to either the 3008 or 5008 models, and top-spec ‘GT’ and ‘GT Premium’ models remain the same.
On sale now at Peugeot dealerships and online via Peugeot’s website, entry-level 3008 models start at just over £31k, while the cheapest 5008 model starts at just above £33k.
