I got my hands on a facelifted Peugeot 3008 SUV as of late. This auto, was an auto that as I would like to think genuinely required a facelift. When it first returned out in 2009 I need to say that it was one revolting looking hybrid vehicle. It was what might as well be called a hippopotamus to me. Anyway, that being said, it was effective for Peugeot and won a few grants for them as well. They sold more than 500,000 units of the hybrid that truly joins a vast hatchback, a scaled down MPV and a SUV together.
Anyhow, now things are somewhat better. In 2014 Peugeot facelifted the 3008. It gets another front end which now dons the current Peugeot family looks and looks more like the 508, 5008 and the new 308. The front grille is no more a to a great degree vast smiley grille. There are new headlights that have LED daytime running lights in advance and another LED back light bunch as well. The facelifted 3008 looks somewhat more sleeker and is unquestionably additionally satisfying to take a gander at in my eyes. Despite everything it is somewhat dumpy looking as it needs to haul out from its best stuff inside space, SUV stature and other pragmatic needs yet still look not too bad. So it has some cumbersomeness on the off chance that you take a gander at it at a few points. However, this facelifted 3008 is such a great amount of better than anyone might have expected. Less conclusion separating than the past form. So as far as looks, I could live with this facelifted 3008 for some time.
With respect to the inside, regardless you get the same dark inside as some time recently. Yet, you do get huge amounts of gear. Peugeot Malaysia has specced up the auto really well in that you get a fitting information tainment framework with route (USB, Bluetooth and so on), a converse camera, park sensors and really tolerable sound as well. The screen for the framework can reveal to you a blend of the nav map with the radio settings or with a compass or one of the other. Its truly decent to take a gander at. There is a heads-up presentation for the speedometer readout so you don't need to take a gander at the meter bunch to check how quick you're going. There is additionally a full length all encompassing rooftop with a cover that permits light into the lodge or not.
The nature of the inside is a blend of delicate touch plastics, cowhide and hard plastics. Manufacture quality, while looks nice at first glance there are some trimming that could have would be wise to fitting than what was on the auto. Another minor characteristic about the 3008 is that all the radio and trek PC controls are situated on stalks behind the directing wheel. You may need to bungle around a bit before you are utilized to the area of the stalks.

Obviously, the most significant eccentricity of this French hybrid is the way that Peugeot had chosen not to change the fundamental structural planning of the auto when they made it in right hand drive structure. You get the same thing in every last bit of its autos from the 208, 308, 408, 508, 5008 and this 3008 sold here. The glovebox is small as a large portion of it is involved by the circuit box which is kept up amid the movement from left to right hand drive. So was the hat lever which is situated on the traveler side moreover. The armrest box is substantial and profound, however again the introduction is implied for left hand drive autos as it opens up to the driver and not far from the driver. More reasonable for the traveler rather than the driver. The cupholders in advance are for glasses. You can put 500ml mineral water bottles yet they are smallish in size. No expansive tumblers here. You have to utilize the substantial entryway pockets for that. At the same time, there is a decent cubby gap that fits my PDA pleasantly amidst the dashboard. So its a hit and miss in the capacity office.
General space in the 3008 is truly like the 308 hatchback of which it is firmly identified with. The auto does not have the same wheelbase, but rather nor is it that a lot of a distinction – 2613mm or 3mm up from the 308. So raise legroom is like the littler looking 308. It just appreciates bunches of headroom, width and a more reasonable boot – which has a part tailgate and the alternative of a three position boot floor zone (you can orchestrate the floorboard to sit high so it goes about as a spread for a concealed compartment or as low as could be expected under the circumstances to capitalize on the space). Gracious, it essentially does the ordinary 5 seater family hybrid thing great. No seven seats here howe

Driving the 3008 SUV
The thing about the Peugeot 3008 is that it really imparts the 1.6liter turbocharged motor to a ton of different Peugeots sold here. We've seen the motor in the RCZ, the 508, the 5008, the 408 and the 308 to name a considerable measure. Alternately a couple. It makes things simple for Peugeot to deliver and permits a littler extra parts stock for them. The main diverse is the condition of tune for the motors. This 3008 accompanies 165ps and 240Nm torque. Some get less – 156ps and some get 200ps in diverse conditions of tune. What's more, here in Malaysia the 3008 accompanies a reasonable 6 rate torque convertor gearbox with versatile learning, game mode and a 'manual tiptronic mode for the individuals who need some additional connection.
Presently the execution of this pretty nearly 1500kg hybrid vehicle is great. Astonishing indeed. It does 0-100kmh in an attempted and tried 9.5seconds. Most extreme pace is expressed to be 202kmh and I figured out how to hit more than 180kmh in it on a few extends of street. Anyhow, at paces over 150kmh on Malaysian streets, the 3008 felt somewhat floaty and obliged some focus. Those that take after my composition would realize that one criteria I have about street testing is that I generally measure an auto's capacity on how quick it permits me to voyage in a casual way that would oblige typical fixation rather than the additional center for excessively energetic driving . This hybrid permits me to do as such up to 150kmh effortlessly. Which is really a decent figure in the event that you calculate our street conditions and activity. What's more, ride quality is great and in addition these rates. Additionally remember that it is a tall hybrid and not a lively hatchbac

Anyway, the colossal thing about this auto is that it does feel lively. It might really ride stiffer and harsher on harsh surfaces than what most would expect for a Peugeot or a family hybrid, yet this really permits a tall SUV-like auto to be hustled around corners really well. The guiding is really feelsome, exact and precise. The 3008 holds well on clearing corners and brakes well for something of its size. It develops on you the more you drive it and is surprisngly captivating in the corners. Like its looks, the 3008 needs sooner or later to warm up to you. In any case, that being said, on the off chance that you drive a Japanese or Korean hybrid like you drive this 3008, you may wind up in a trench. The Japanese and Korean autos are milder and would not even see which way the 3008 originated from and where it has gone. As a hybrid, the 3008 handles and drives well for something tall and vast.
Obviously, there are some would think why in the world would a hybrid vehicle need to be this deft and quick. Why the blazes not? I assume on the off chance that you needed a lively hybrid this would really bode well. There is likewise an abnormal state of refinement whilst driving it. There is a slight low speed automaton from the 6 rate programmed yet even at high speeds, wind clamor and street commotion it essentially under wraps at an auto of this cost (and sort). This is the auto for the individuals who have surrendered pursuing their fantasies of purchasing a games auto yet at the same time need something connecting with to drive.
On the off chance that you need a human likeness the capacities of the 3008 then I need to say that it is similar to the Hong Kong genius Sammo Hung. He may be a bit plump, somewhat round, yet kid, he truly can kung-fu.

Pros:Refined at speed, really surprisingly handling, well equipped interior, looks so much better than before
Cons:Slightly hard ride at low speeds, some plastics a bit off, looks may still divide opinion
Conclusion: A surprisingly good drive. The crossover / SUV to buy if you really like driving.
