Used Peugeot 3008 2024-present review

When you pick up a novel in a bookshop, it’s usually the cover that catches your eye first before you look at the blurb. Only then do the practical questions follow: is the story any good, will it keep you engaged and is it worth choosing over everything else on the shelf? The Peugeot 3008 makes a similar first impression, standing out as one of the more striking family SUVs on the used market.

Launched in 2024, the third-generation model made a shift towards sleeker, coupé SUV styling, with the previous generation having a more traditional, boxy shape. It also introduced new underpinnings, which have been rolled out on other Stellantis (Peugeot’s parent company) cars, including the Citroën C5 Aircross, Jeep Compass and Vauxhall Grandland. These new underpinnings allowed for a fully electric Peugeot e-3008 to be available for the first time.

Engines and performance: For the regular 3008, there are two engine options available. The first is the Hybrid 145, which consists of a 1.2-litre mild-hybrid petrol engine producing 143bhp. Thanks to a tiny electric motor, it can run on electric power alone for very short distances, such as when manoeuvring.

Performance is strong, proving reasonably punchy at low and high revs. It delivers 0-62mph in 10.2sec, which is the same time as the Volkswagen Tiguan eTSI 130. Regular petrol versions of the Hyundai Tucson and Kia Sportage are a touch faster, though.

The other engine option is the Plug-in Hybrid 225, but it still hasn’t reached UK shores. It pairs a 1.6-litre petrol engine with an electric motor to produce 222bhp, delivering 0-62mph in 7.8sec. That’s faster than the plug-in hybrid (PHEV) versions of the Sportage, Tiguan and Tucson.

Thanks to a 18kWh battery, the PHEV has an official electric-only range of 53 miles. That’s better than the Sportage (40 miles) and Tucson (43 miles), but the Tiguan can go much farther (75 miles).

All versions of the 3008 come with an automatic gearbox. The mild hybrid uses a six-speed unit, while the PHEV is equipped with a seven-speed ‘box.

For the fully electric e-3008, there are three versions to choose from. The standard e-3008 is powered by a 207bhp electric motor driving the front wheels. Performance is respectable rather than outright quick, with Peugeot claiming a 0-62mph time of 8.8sec. It uses a 73kWh (usable) battery, which delivers an official range of up to 326 miles. That puts it slightly ahead of the entry-level Tesla Model Y and only a few miles behind the rear-wheel-drive Kia EV6.

At the top of the performance range is the e-3008 Dual Motor 325 AWD. With two motors producing a combined 321bhp and four-wheel drive, it’s noticeably quicker than the standard car, cutting the 0-62mph sprint to just 6.0sec. It still can’t match the pace of the Model Y Long Range AWD, but it feels impressively brisk in its own right. Like the standard car, it uses a 73kWh battery, although the added performance and extra drivetrain hardware reduce the official range slightly to 303 miles.

For buyers prioritising efficiency over outright pace, there’s the e-3008 Long Range. Its 227bhp motor delivers 0-62mph in 8.9sec, but the real highlight is its larger 98kWh battery, which boosts the official range to 435 miles.

Ride and handling: The 3008’s suspension isn’t as absorbent as the Sportage or Volvo XC40 in town. However, build up some speed and it smoothens out considerably, making it a good car for motorway journeys.

In the bends, the 3008 grips well and remains composed, delivering the kind of tidy driving experience you’d expect from a family SUV. However, if it’s a fun driving experience you’re after, take a look at the Cupra Formentor.

Interior and practicality: The third-generation 3008 has Peugeot’s i-Cockpit driving position, with the driver’s display mounted above the steering wheel, but unlike older models, it’s combined with the infotainment screen to form a giant 21.0in screen. It can feel a little odd at first, but it’s better than the older set-up, so most drivers should be able to find a good driving position. We’d still recommend testing it out before you buy to make sure it suits you.

The driving position in the 3008 places you high up, giving you a clear view over the bonnet. Rear visibility isn’t great, though, because of the wide rear pillars. All trim levels come with rear parking sensors and a reversing camera to help when manoeuvring.

While mounted high, the infotainment touchscreen is easy to reach for the driver, but it’s a bit of a stretch for the passenger. The infotainment system itself has crisp graphics, but there are too many submenus to sift through. The screen’s responses could be sharper, too. Overall, the systems in the Renault Austral and Tiguan are better.

Below the centre air vents is a separate touch panel – Peugeot's i-Toggle feature – where you can customise a row of shortcuts for your most commonly used functions. The icons are large and easy to hit on the move, although physical buttons would still be better. Physical climate controls would be easier to use on the move, too (these are operated via the touchscreen).

As for quality, the 3008 impresses. There are lots of soft-touch plastics and pleasing fabrics, which help give it a high-quality feel. It’s certainly more plush than a Sportage and Tucson inside.

Up front, there’s plenty of head, leg and shoulder room for the driver and passenger, while in the back, there’s a decent amount of rear leg room, but not as much as a Tiguan, Tucson or Sportage. Rear head room isn’t as generous as that of those cars, either, because of the sloping roofline.

It’s a better story in the boot, where the 3008 offers 588 litres of luggage space. That’s slightly behind the Tiguan (652 litres) and Tucson (620 litres), but it almost matches the Sportage at 591 litres. It also comfortably surpasses the XC40, which offers 452 litres of space. Adding to its practicality, the rear seats fold in a versatile 40/20/40 split, matching the Sportage, Tiguan and Tucson, while offering greater flexibility than the XC40’s more conventional 60/40 arrangement.

Trims and equipment: The trim levels consist of Allure, Allure Premium, GT and GT Premium. Entry-level Allure comes with 19in alloy wheels, dual-zone climate control and fabric and leather-effect front seats. Heated front seats were offered as an optional extra from new, so keep an eye out for cars with this fitted if it’s a must-have feature.

Allure Premium adds adaptive cruise control, heated front seats (as standard) and a heated steering wheel. Meanwhile, GT adds a powered tailgate, while GT Premium includes Alcantara seats and 20in alloy wheels.

“I know the Peugeot i-Cockpit driving position isn’t for everyone, but for me, the set-up in the 3008 works well. I like the small steering wheel, too." – George Hill, Used Cars Writer

Used Peugeot 3008 prices start at around £20,000. At this price point, there’s a good selection of 2024 mild-hybrid Allure models with low mileage. Allure Premium and GT Premium versions are scarce on the used market, but if you’re after a mid-spec GT or a 2025 model, expect to pay upwards of £21,000. For 2026 examples, prices typically start from £26,000.

Used prices for the e-3008 are broadly in line with the mild-hybrid version, with 2024 and 2025 73kWh models in Allure or GT trim starting at around £20,000. Newer 2026 cars start from approximately £26,000. Dual-motor and Long Range versions command a higher premium, as they were only introduced in 2026, with prices starting from around £40,000.

MPG and charging

The mild-hybrid 3008 can officially average 52.3mpg, which is better than the Tiguan eTSI 130 (47.7mpg) and XC40 B3 (42.8mpg). The PHEV can officially average 117.7mpg, but you’ll have to plug the car in regularly to get anywhere near that figure.

For the e-3008, the 73kWh battery version has a maximum charging speed of 160kW, which means it can charge from 20-80% in around 20 minutes with a suitably powerful public charger. Topping up from 20-80% using an 11kW home EV charger is expected to take four hours, while a 7.4kW charger should take six.

Road tax

All versions of the 3008 are subject to the current flat rate fee of road tax, which is £200. Most versions, other than the PHEV, cost less than £40,000 when new, too, which means they avoid the £440 luxury car tax surcharge. This applies for five years from the second year of registration.

Insurance

The 3008 spans insurance groups 22 to 33. That means costs are similar to the Sportage, Tiguan, and XC40, but the Tucson will be cheaper to insure.

Servicing

Peugeot offers a four-year service plan for the 3008 covering three services – minor, interim and major – for £847. By comparison, Volkswagen charges £546 for a two-year plan for the Tiguan, covering two basic services, or £743.76 for a more comprehensive package that includes pollen filter, air filter and spark plug changes. Kia, meanwhile, charges £659 to service the Sportage over four years or 40,000 miles.

Warranty

From new, every 3008 is covered by a three-year, 60,000-mile warranty, which is similar to the cover from Volkswagen, but short of Hyundai’s five and Kia’s seven-year offering. The PHEV’s battery pack is covered for up to eight years or 100,000 miles.

Safety

The 3008 was given four stars out of five when it was safety tested by Euro NCAP in 2025. That's one less star than most modern cars get, although the closely related Grandland scored four stars, too.

Reliability

There weren’t enough responses for the regular 3008 to be included in the latest What Car? Reliability Survey, but the electric e-3008 was featured. Its result suggests there’s room for improvement in terms of overall dependability.

On the brand side, Peugeot performed more strongly, achieving a solid position in the manufacturer rankings and showing a more encouraging overall reliability record.

Engine

The PHEV is yet to be launched in the UK, leaving the mild-hybrid as the sole option. Thankfully, it’s a good match for the 3008, providing strong performance and good efficiency.

Specification

Seeing as you can pick up a high-spec GT for similar money to the entry-level Allure trim, it’s the version we’d go for. It’s also the most popular trim on the used market.

Our favourite Peugeot 3008: 1.2 GT e-DSC6

The Hyundai Tucson remains one of our favourite used family SUVs. There’s loads of space in the rear seats and boot, making it a genuinely practical choice for families. It also comes generously equipped, and on the used market, it undercuts many of its key rivals on price. A broad engine line-up, including petrol, hybrid and PHEV options, adds to its appeal, while Hyundai’s five-year, unlimited-mileage warranty offers extra peace of mind.

Closely related to the Tucson is the Kia Sportage. It tends to cost a little more than its Hyundai sibling, but it’s still more affordable than the 3008. On the road, it’s comfortable and easy-going, with a supple ride, an excellent driving position and a smartly designed interior. Buyers also get plenty of engine choices, plus Kia’s seven-year, 100,000-mile warranty, which could help keep ownership costs in check.

For buyers drawn to a more premium badge, the Volvo XC40 makes a strong case for itself. It’s been on sale for several years now, which means used examples represent excellent value. In return, you get a classy interior, generous passenger space, plenty of safety tech and impressive ride comfort. It’s an accomplished all-rounder, although its reliability rating did slip in our latest reliability survey.

The Volkswagen Tiguan is another spacious, practical and comfortable family SUV. However, the latest 2024-on version finished last out of 73 family SUVs in our 2025 reliability survey, so despite its many strengths, it’s not one we can currently recommend.
