Peugeot 3008 is considered one of the best crossover SUVs. It certainly gives its competitors a run for its money. This crossover SUV boasts of features and specs that rival the top-ranking brands and models in the market today.

According to Auto Express, the Peugeot 3008 is considered better than ever because of its impressive interior, modern car technology, and competitive engine range. It is also considered practical to drive and comfortable as well. It is able to handle minor road imperfections for not making the driving experience bouncy and altogether uncomfortable.

The Peugeot 3008 is reportedly classier and more stylish compared to its predecessor. The high sides and small window also give the crossover SUV a sporty and athletic look as compared to its competitors. This is definitely an advantage especially for those who yearn to have a vehicle oozing with much-needed appeal worthy of a second look.

All of Peugeot 3008 models are AWD. There is also a wide range of engines to choose from. It has 1.2 PureTech 130 petrol, 1.6 e-THP 165 turbo, 1.6 BlueHDi 100 120 diesels and 2.0BlueHDi 150 and 180 diesels. All models come equipped with stop-start as a standard feature and there is an auto gearbox offered as an option.

Like all other crossover SUVs, the Peugeot 3008 is not at all perfect. It does provide a comfortable ride, however, its raised suspension has its fair share of negative feedback. It is reported to thud at low speed. This crossover SUV is meant for the hi-way as the situation gets relatively better as it accelerates. It is also not as engaging and agile according to experts.

Given these areas for improvement, Peugeot 3008 makes up for its totally new interior. It also boasts of an updated infotainment system on an 8-inch touchscreen. The latest iCockpit 12.3-inch screen spells the difference which enables the driver to change the layout of dials and show navigation directions.

The materials used in its interior are of great quality and its wrap-around design with metal accents give it a classier and more luxurious look and feel. It may not be considered as spacious compared to its rivals, however, it leads the way for being stylish and sleek.

As added by Auto Car UK, props have to be given to Peugeot for its focus on bold styling and interior design. The Peugeot 3008 certainly leads the way in terms of its overall look, especially in its interior. As a result, it is rated as one of the Top 5 in all crossover SUVs but others such as Ford Kuga, BMW X1, and Nissan Qashqai are considered a little better.
