Tony Verhelle (België - 3 punten) schreef:Compared to its predecessor, the new 3008 is a major step forward concerning looks, interior design, driving pleasure. But we find i-cockpit a little bit over-designed and we absolutely don’t like the small steering wheel, it has no benefits for me, only drawbacks. We deplore also that 4x4 is not available, not even on the top models and we still have to wait two years for a hybrid version.
Yves Maroselli (Frankrijk - 6 punten) schreef:The SUV-like body shape of the 3008 is trendy. Its interior is innovative and the best version of the Peugeot i-cockpit so far. But you have to drive the 3008 to realize that its strongest features are its dynamics and its lightness that allows it to remain entertaining to drive and efficient even with a small 3 cylinder turbocharged engine under the hood.
Frank Janssen (Duitsland - 3 punten) schreef:To me, its predecessor was the ugliest car of its time. The new one improved incredibly, not only by its distinctive design. Also, I like a lot of details like the small steering wheel, the virtual cockpit and the futuristic center console. It might be symbolic for the future of cars. And the 3008 drives well. If you want to buy a compact SUV, you should consider this one seriously.
Ton Roks (Nederland - 3 punten) schreef:Another nice surprise is the Peugeot 3008. It drives well, the diesels are powerful and refined, there is plenty of space, the interior is excellent and its simplicity is a small revelation. It fails to reach the excellent harmony between sportiness and comfort that has marked so many Peugeots, but nevertheless it is a very satisfying drive, especially when luxury and getting from A to B are your priorities.
Mikhail I. Podorozhansky (Rusland - 2 punten) schreef:Peugeot 3008 is the most controversial finalist. On the one hand, bright design, brave but comfortable new ergonomics and, as greetings from Peugeots of 80`s, the fun to drive. On the other hand, it becomes nervous if not dangerous on a slippery roads. Considering it as the crossover, I`d prefer 4WD (at least optional), the ground clearance of more than 158 mm (measured by Autoreview), more intense heating system and more than two liters of washer fluid on board.
Xavier Pérez (Spanje - 10 punten) schreef:The exterior design you like or do not like, but it does not leave you indifferent, To understand its dimension you have must begin to consider it from the inside. The i-cockpit is a winning solution for Peugeot and in the 3008 premiere its latest version. It is a very complete SUV, with an ideal range of engines and an excellent automatic gearbox.
Trivia:Ufuk Sandik (Turkije - 7 punten) schreef:To be honest, Peugeot has overtaken itself with 3008. It may be a bit ambitious, but the 3008 is the most successful model of Peugeot that I`ve seen in recent years. It has the upper class luxury SUV look. I need to open a separate topic for the interior design which is better than most luxury models. Digital indicators that can be personalized are standard even on the base equipment package. It is an obligation to pay extra for these gadgets in most of the premium brands.
