Peugeot SUV 3008

The second generation of the 3008 model has gone from being a minivan to becoming a sport utility vehicle in its entirety. The evolution of the Peugeot SUV 3008 presents clear improvements, especially at the engine level.

One of the most striking aspects is  the equipment that the driver has to maneuver. Lane departure alert, 360 camera system and other elements will allow us to travel safely. Economy, protection and engine options are the highlight of the Peugeot 3008 SUV.

Many powerful engine alternatives

Initially, the range of compatible engines for the Peugeot SUV 3008 was of six types : 4 compatible with diesel and 2 for gasoline. The big bet was to offer a range that goes from 100 to 180 horsepower.

Then, the French manufacturer incorporated the 1.5 BlueHdi engine, 130 hp. This addition helped the vehicle to be considered as high performance, although its cost increased slightly.

The good news is that consumers will be able to choose between efficiency, fuel economy and even the way they do their gear changes : manual or automatic, 5 or 6 speed. In short, there is a motor for every type of driver.

Added to this, an 8-speed automatic transmission was recently released. Of course, this product has a higher cost.

Your grill defines you aesthetically

At the design level, perhaps the greatest innovation has been reflected in the grille. The headlights have an originality that is worth highlighting: black stripes that make it a more sporty car than an urban one. Its frontal protection is a guarantee against any automobile incident that may arise.

The rounded appearance that characterized it even more as a minivan is a thing of the past. Now, the straight lines make it look even more like the kind of car we use to get out of town.

It is not the only surprise at the design and utility level of this sports vehicle: its interior is a whole new experience, both ergonomic and technological.

Interior that takes you to the future

As we can see, another of the highlights of this car is inside. The touchscreen is modern and features an eye-catching keypad. The steering wheel is compact, characteristic of the French manufacturer and the indicators are on the steering wheel.

Additionally, the i-Cockpit has a built-in fragrance dispenser. This new element has three fragrances and a diffuser that vaporizes the aroma to prevent drips. It’s not just technology: the Peugeot SUV is an experience in every way.

The improvements are also noticeable in the trunk. The new 3008 SUV of the French brand can carry a maximum capacity equivalent to 520 liters in weight, which means an increase of almost 90 liters more than its predecessor. All the aforementioned, constitutes it as a modern, aesthetically captivating and practical vehicle.

Efficiency in driving aids

Perhaps the most impressive thing about this sport utility vehicle

be the driver assistance systems. Regarding traction, the model features Advanced Grip Control and M + S tires for difficult terrain. To which we must add a system of help in descending slopes. Everything is completely digitized.

But these are not the only elements that allow safer driving, since  the Peugeot midsize car incorporates the Active Safety Brake and Active Lane Departure Warning systems. The first is an emergency braking program and the second alerts us the moment it detects that we are fatigued.

To all this, we must add the involuntary lane change alert, a traffic sign recognition mode and the Blind Spot control system, useful for correcting direction. Pure artificial intelligence focused on driver and passenger safety.

As if that were not enough, the car also adds a 360-degree camera system, essential to park without any errors. Measuring the available space will be a much simpler task thanks to this technology.
