For Peugeot’s 3008 combines comfort, quality, space and practicality: it’s a great all-round car for families
Against It’s not the sharpest car to drive, and some of the options are pricey, but there’s not a lot else to dislike
The 3008 is practical, spacious, refined and easy to drive. A sumptuous cabin and a cushy ride help to make it even more appealing - and our 2010 Car of the Year
The 3008 comes with two 1.6-litre petrol engines (118bhp and turbocharged 148bhp THP), and two diesels, the 1.6 HDI and 2.0 HDI. An automatic gearbox is optional with the 2.0 HDI, but for our money 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 small discounts or free equipment upgrades should be entirely possible – though don’t expect huge cuts until the 3008 has been on sale for a while. Watch out too for low-rate finance schemes and other incentives; as large mainstream retailers, Peugeot dealers have room for manoeuvre.
