For Mid-range Sport trim adds a good selection of kit to the basic model, including alloy wheels, cruise control and a smarter-looking exterior.
Against It’s not really any more economical than the 150bhp THP engine, and won’t be as much fun to drive.
This is a good little engine, but we reckon it’s worth paying a bit more and going for the excellent 1.6 THP 150 – or the 1.6 HDI diesel, if economy is your priority.
The 3008 comes with two 1.6-litre petrol engines (with 118bhp or 148 in the turbocharged THP), and 1.6 HDI and 2.0 HDI diesels. There’s also a diesel hybrid version, which is expensive to buy but returns fantastic figures for fuel consumption and emissions. It’s our Green SUV of the Year. For most buyers, though, we reckon the more powerful petrol engine is the pick of the range.
Trim levels give high levels of standard equipment, and top-end models have all the luxuries and latest gadgets.
Peugeot dealers are generally happy to haggle, and now that the 3008 has been on sale for a while, you should be able to get a decent discount. Watch out, too, for low-rate finance schemes and other incentives; as large mainstream retailers, Peugeot dealers have room for manoeuvre.
