This weeks review is the Peugeot 3008.
Yes I know that the 3008 has been out for a while but i wanted to see if this French SUV carries the same impact as when it first arrived.
The car i have is th GT Line Premium and comes with a huge host of standard equipment. The engine is a 1.6 Puetech 180 HP and is mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission.
Lets be honest though the headline of the 3008 is the fact it still looks amazing and turns heads where ever it goes still!!
As a result the rest of the Peugeot range is slowly becoming the best looking in their respected classes!! Long may this trend continue.
However where a lot of cars loose their mojo on the interior, Peugeot have stepped up the game and brought out the best looking interior in its segment.
The quality of the materials is top notch too!
But it's not all perfect, certain ergonomics could be better and the infotainment system isn't the sharpest.
But what is sharp is the stunning i-cockpit which is a joy to look at and is standard throughout the range! Something Audi can't match just yet.
Enjoy........!
I went out and bought a second hand 3008 (2018) 1.6 petrol automatic GT Premium range after your review. What a car!!
Hi Bruno. Thank you for the comment and really happy to hear that I was able to help you decide on your next car. I hope you enjoy your new 3008.
What mpg does it do please?
Thank you for a superb review. I've been looking at the 3008 for some time. It's refreshing to find someone who can review a car properly and with in-depth info.
I’ve had mine for a couple of years and I truly love it. I can’t fault it, the design and shape is beautiful. I honestly enjoy driving it.
Hannah Morrison hi Hannah, glad to hear you’re still loving your 3008.
Loved the detail review. I'm a huge fan of this car so it's good to hear you cover all areas of it. Thanks!!
Maximilan Williams thank you for your comment. And you are very welcome.
honestly, the best review of the 3008 iv seen so far. Good Job
Hey there SSG. Thank you so much for the comment. I’m honoured you feel that way about the review.
I was thinking the same thing. best 3008 review for sure

Absolutely brilliant review hands down 🔥💯
Great review! I’m going to purchase mine at 2pm today! Feel sick as it will be my first ever brand new car! Going for 3008 1.2 GT line in Black also. Test drove a month ago. Thanks again for the review!
great rev keep it up well done 👍 love to see the 5008 as well
Just waiting to pick mine up , I cant wait , had to have a few extras added due to my disability.. counting down the days until the 17 Feb.This car is perfect for any one with a disability as it will give me back my independence which is priceless.
Great to know Rona, I hope you are still enjoying your freedom in your 3008
Great review! Best review I've seen for the Peugeot 3008, I've just got the GT line premium and it's a beautiful car. The 1.2 engine is very punchy for its size. Lovely driving position, great for the kids. No car is perfect, but this almost is! Lovely i-cockpit, massaging seats and opening glass roof, love it 👍
Excellent review. Great idea to review a 3 year old car as more info from 3 years of on the road , well done. Keep the reviews coming. I’m looking at buying new 2008
I'm a retired mechanic and bought my 3008Suv 1.6 diesel new in 2017. Superb car.
Fab review. I’ve got one of these. The same model as you’ve got there. I love it! 2 months in now. Still learning the infotainment system. Excellent. I’ve no complaints at all. Best wishes from me here in Doncaster.
Andrew Lloyd thank you very much for your comment. I’m glad to hear you’re enjoying it. Best wishes from Milton Keynes.
Fantastic review, thoroughly answered any niggly questions I had and now looking forward to purchasing one as similar as this with equal specs
went out and bought one the next day thanks for your super review
Great review, very informative and I am now going to take a look at one before I test drive the Qashqai.
What a great, thorough yet concise review, after a scare regarding this car with it's adblue system i was getting a little worried, now im much more confident and hope mine is as good as you say it is! Ill be going down tomorrow to finalise everything so fingers crossed and thank you!!
Thanks for this review, it is great and was very helpful 👍
Now this is a SUPERB review. So many things said that no one else did.
Great review !! These 2nd series 3008 are beautiful...really Stands out in the crowd..makes other auto's in this class look absolutely boring 😊😊
I liked the video so much I ordered one the same model as you are viewing and picked it up yesterday...I LOVE IT, So thanks a lot for your brilliant review
Thank you very much for your comment. I am very happy to hear that you are enjoying your new car!! Even 3 years after release, the 3008 still turns heads!!
What is you're view 11 months later mate
Great review. Loved it!
Comprehensive review mate. You've convinced me. Thanks much
Thank you for your comment Mark. I’m glad my review has convinced you to look at the 3008.
Most underrated car ever! Literally in love with mine !
I'm looking to buy a 3008 and yours is the most thorough review I've watched. Thank you for that! I need to load long equipment into the boot and the front passenger seat will fold down to let a long digital piano travel safely in the car. It is one of the reasons I have chosen this car before others and I believe that feature is available across the range.
Amazing review. My 1.6 THP GT LINE is getting delivered in few days.
What a great review. The best I've seen yet. This car is probably the most attractive inside and out, on the market in this segment. I'm also delighted it hasn't got a twin clutch or CVT auto box, both of which seem to have issues in other cars. I'm interested in the 2 litre version as I tow a caravan, but the low kerbweight might be an issue. I also believe that Peugeot may have dropped the 2 litre diesel engine from the range for 2021?
I enjoyed that. Very informative and a great reviewer.
Thank you Julie for your comment. I’m really glad to hear you have enjoyed the review. There’re more on the way.
A great in depth review of such a beautiful SUV, and I expect to take delivery of my GT Line Premium, 1.5 Diesel - EAT 8, in December 19. By far the best review I've seen of this stunning looking vehicle - thank you!
Jeff Smith thank you for your comment. Great to hear you’re looking forward to your new 3008. I bet December can’t come quick enough for you!!
Took delivery of mine last month, one of the best cars I have owned, and I’ve had a few. I bought the GT line premium, 1.5 Diesel, I live in Spain and the central consol has the air conditioning running through it keeping your drink cool. The Sport button when pressed especially on the motorway you can feel the difference. Great car and would highly recommend.
@@AutoBears Deffo .. delivery date confirmed today for December 2nd - cannot wait!
Great review, we are picking up our three year old gti premium 3008 next week . It was great to be able to step in and out of the car as I was finding it difficult in our Hyundai as my legs were too short to get in and out if it . I’m so looking forward to the seat massage for my bad back . It will be first time in a year I’m driving as I insisted my boyfriend got a automatic this time around . Short legs made it hard for me to drive in our other car . Also the adjustable seat and wheel are perfect !
Great review, well done 👏
Thnx for this review, great job! I'm at the point of buying one and this review really helped out. I hope I will get as much fun out of it as you have.
Thank you for your comment. I do hope you get to enjoy your new 3008 and really happy to hear I was able to help with your buying decision.
Superb review as always thanks dave, going on autotrader next 👍
And you know what I really like your review👍
I too saw this car for the first time at the 2016 Paris motor show then bought a Kadjar! I rectified that two years ago and purchased a 5008 diesel automatic and found it so brilliant that I’ve ordered a new 3008 (with fangs). This time a 1.6 petrol PHEV as I’m not doing the mileage to justify a diesel. This was a fantastic review and I thank you for sharing 🌞
Thanks Dave! Looking forward to taste these in person (Ordered mine and to be delivered this summer)
Thank you for your comment Elvis. I hope you enjoy your new 3008. 3 years on and still one of the best in class
One of the most beautiful SUVs
Excellent review, thank you.
Love the review I would love to own one of this 3008.
What a great review 😊👍🏽. I do prefer the DS7 CROSSBACK which is based on this anyway. Please keep doing these great reviews.
Well done Dave great review you covered it all the good (all most all of it) and the bad (Peugeot fuse box put it somewhere else) the position of fusebox robs space from glovebox but that's it no other issues it's a great SUV plenty of thought for most things has been done by Peugeot r&d \designers ,we are having one on lease from December 2019.
great well informed review for a brilliant car ive got the allure 1.2 but my next one is the exact car thats being driven here cant wait to get it !! thank you and well done on the fabulous review . ps what a lovely guy you are lee type of guy you like to spend a night in the pub with chatting away ! cheers Lee .
Thank you very much for your comment Jeff. You’ll definitely enjoy your new 3008. Yes I am the kind of guy to talk cars down the pub and rarely anything else.
@@AutoBears Hi lee mate ive now decided to go for the 5008 as i need more room in the boot , the extra seats will more than likely be stored in the garage but hey ho i should get it in January I've ordered the gtline premium in nimbus grey and I've added the focal stereo upgrade roll on January ! keep up your brilliant work buddy take care and God bless .
Great video. 💯% agree about the reversing camera. It is atrocious. Like watching a dodgy pirated video. Regarding the sport mode is it just a sound effect through the speakers? Maybe I'm imagining it but i feel like there's a slight extra pick up in power for a second.
was watching your review.. i bought a merc b200 but then my friend was looking for a top of the line SUV and i personally love the new range of the peugeot 3008, i still think its the best small SUV upto date.. i can say, its almost on the same line with Lexus,Merc and Audi SUV's.. and then boom.. I accompanied my friend to a dealer and i helped him select the right one and we were both inlove w this car..and he grabbed an white one..and it was looking sporty. he was very happy..drives well... i want to own one of this in the future
Great review. Well done. I’ve had my 3008 GT line for 12 months now and it’s been a joy to drive. Traded in my 308 GT for this but was the right decision. I purchased the 2017 EAT 6 speed petrol 1.6 and is nippy enough for me. I do wish I’d spent extra now for the premium but I can cope without the sunroof and electric tailgate. 10/10 review 👍
Thank you for your comment Lee. I am happy to hear you’re enjoying your 3008. You never know, your next 3008 could be the Premium.

flo thank you for your comment. I’m happy to hear you’re happy with your 3008. Peugeot are very much ahead of the game regarding style both inside and out
How are you getting on with it now. One year on. I am thinking about getting one soon. Have you had any problems. Any advice you would give me to which model to get.

Very good review and very nice and honest presenter!
Thank you very much for your comment. I am glad you enjoyed the review.
I had the 3008 for 11 months. Love it today as much as when I first got it.
Techy Las thank you for your comment. Glad to hear you’re still loving your 3008.
Do you still have it? How is the reliability? And with what engine do you/did you have it?
Excellent review, great!
Really great and honest review, thanks.
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for your comment.
I recently test drove the 3008, lovely motor, so I've ordered one for March 2020. Can't wait to get my hands on it
Will be getting mine at the same time am excited as you what spec & colour did you go for?
Is this motor any good now you have had it a while
Brilliant review and yes, certainly well appointed Peugeot 3008 ... I bought the 2019 Peugeot 3008 GT Sport and I love it to bits :)
Great Job friend, Im waiting for my 2020 Peugeot GT Line Premium too.
Great review Dave. Initially when I saw the length of the video at 25 minutes I thought that it would be too long, but it actually wasn’t. It was very interesting and informative. Am I the only person who saw the rear air vents at 8 minutes and thought that they looked like Kermit The Frog? Except he wasn’t green! :- )
NeilnDebs thank you for your comment. Yes this is longer than my other reviews but there was a lot to get in on this stylish car. I did also see the frogs face but didn’t say anything.
Excellent review. I have had my 1.6 HDi EAT6 18 plate from new...18 months later it has 35000 very comfortable miles under its wheels. Superb car. Your comments match my impressions. It does drink quite a bit of AdBlue, but it is currently cheap so no problem, regularly get 600 miles out of a full tank.
I want to buy the 1.6Hdi manual! Donyou recommend? What problems you had with this engine? What is the fuel consumption l/100km urban?
Thanks for another good review. The thing I don’t like, and many manufacturers do this, is the slab-like infotainment system sticking up out of the dash like a tombstone. Also, I would say the faux exhaust note on sport mode is more of a gimmick than pumping a hint of fragrance into the cabin! You say the automatic does not use a dual clutch system - what system does it use? And lastly, is the 1.2 litre a 3 cylinder?
Had my 3008 GT for a year now, so much better than my previous car a Kia Sportage. Great review Dave.
cambo2910 thank you for your comment. Really happy to hear you’re happy with your 3008.
Still the best looking SUV out there, two things that annoy me, the useless glovebox and the touchscreen heating controls, other than that. Great car Oh, and excellent review!
Have to agree with everyone else, among the best reviews I've seen. I got my 3008 GT-line month ago, great car overall. Only compliant is that the gearbox tends to be a bit "indecisive" for lack of better words between 2 and 3 when slowing down and turning.
Mattias Nilsson thank you so much for your comment. I’m really happy you enjoyed my review.
just purchased a 2017 peugeot 3008 allure 1.6 blue hdi so far really like it
I’m definitely going to watch another of this guys reviews. Before I start watching I am going to have a bet on how many times he is going to say ‘form over function’
Sean OShea thanks for your comment Sean. What can I say, the 3008 has a lot a form, but also lots of function.
also; "You know what!" Good review. Just ordered the face-lift 3008 Hybrid4 300hp GT Pack in France. can't wait to get it.
Really good video mate 🤙
Thank you so much for your comment B 030. This video is 3 years old and still going strong.
Thank you for this detailed review. I live in China and will test drive the Chinese version of this, which is interestingly named 4008.
Great review... but would love some more close up shots as your reviewing parts of the vehicle, so I can actually see the details your talking about!
Luke Clifton thank you for your comment. I’ll definitely take that onboard for future reviews
Great review 🤛
Thank you very much. It’s a great car to review.
i'm thinking of buying one and you have helped. i haven't counted the amounts of times you said "and you know what". but being ocd i did notice the top of the A pillar doesn't run fluidly with the roof lining. but nice one pal.
Don't have a peogeot 3008 but really my favourite SUV, this guy's review is the best I've heard.
Thank you for your comment. I think the 3008 captured a lot of peoples hearts (even those who don’t have one) due to its bold styling and great drive
@@AutoBears but I have the next best thing in a Renault Kadjar S edition, my second favorite SUV, you are very good at your reviews.
I have the 2017 peugeot 3008 gt line 2.0 diesel, lovely beautiful car! Drives nice!
Thanks for sharing, Ive had mine now from new 68 plate, I love it, comfy to drive loads of toys and my 1.5 diesel has enough power I want, looks sexy and mean with that lovely front grill and lights, the inside has plenty of room inside.
Great video Dave. Watched it over and over.Went for a test drive in the 5008, as the dealership didn't have the 3008 in stock.So quiet and great to drive.Ordered the 3008 1.2 GT line premium in black,we can't wait to take delivery of it.Keep up the good work Dave,your video is one of the best out there.
Thank you both for your comments. Really happy to hear you have enjoyed the 3008 and 5008. I hope they’re bringing you miles and miles of joy. I can’t wait for the next Peugeot I get to review.
Thanks for the great review. I have a 2018 Mercedes gla and I’m getting rid of it for the 3008 or the 2008 gt. these are so much better kitted out than the merc.
Hi Debbie, thank you for your comment. I don't think you'll be disappointed by either the 3008 or 2008.
Great review thanks.
You are most welcome Kelvin.
I have the 2008 Premium Allure which I bought in March this year & I love mine - I think the 3008 is beautiful but perhaps a little too big for me - love the glass roof in mine too - lovely feature 💯💪 great video - thank you 🙏
Catherine Shanahan thank you for your comment. The 2008 is a lovely car and suits many peoples needs. Very much explains why that segment is so popular.
I look forward to following your videos 💯

Nice review,hope you will do the new 2008 review
Still a great review, works for the ordinary driver, well done. I'm buying a 2018 model with almost no mileage, can't wait to get in it.
That’s a catch! Is this a diesel or petrol? Looking to get one with low mileage myself
@@tadea.oyolola1450 1.2 petrol, it's got plenty of poke even with the small engine
Great review. I'd been looking at the new Rav 4, Kia Seltos, Kia Sorento etc. Then i saw the 3008, which style wise, is really in a class of It's own. Particularly the interior. I couldn't help noticing Milton Keynes in this review. I did a lot of work in MK . Cheers.
Thank you for your comment. Yes I live, work and film in MK. Great for road testing.
Another very balanced SUV review. I had one of these for a week when my then new Tiguan was leaking diesel. My feelings were that the digital display can be difficult to read if the sun is low and I'm one of those who prefer physical climate control switches as well as touch screen and voice (my 2012 S-Max had particularly good voice control) I also found that I never truly trusted the gear selector to be in reverse , having to look each time by which stage the start stop cut in . However I do feel this was a truly mould breaking design for Peugeot that has been a big success. However not for me. Following the watery death of my Tiguan , I am awaiting delivery of a Cupra Ateca.
Thank you for your comment. I hope you enjoy your Ateca.
Great review I am in between cars and needed this review, my question is which one is better for economy petrol or diesel ?
We have a 2013 3008 and love it. Being only 5”2 I find the driving position excellent without having to climb up into the drivers seat. We drive up to the Scottish Highlands twice a year (some 600 miles each way) and it is so comfortable. This is especially important for me as I have a shattered coccyx. Been looking to upgrade to the newer model but the main issue I have is the new design boot and lack of adjustable floor. I know these aren’t huge issues in the grand scheme of things but we use them so much... Thank you for such a great detailed review.
Smudgie33 thank you for your comment. I found the new 3008 to be extremely comfortable for long distances and drove 300 miles in a weekend trip. The boot size and shape is great for carrying a lot of luggage. I do recall the boot being adjustable and being able to stow the parcel shelf under the boot floor being very handy.
I wish I had been able to try out the 1.6 Ltr as I found the 1.2 a little lacking for my driving needs. I love that you don’t have to leave the parcel shelf behind. Many times I’ve had to take the shelf out of a car to deliver a bulky item only to find later in the day that other items in the boot have to be left on show. I have experienced grip control in other PSA products and I can honestly say it more than covers the off road needs for the majority or drivers. Only the few would regret the lack of rear driven wheels. Maybe a PHEV address that issue for Peugeot? Another great review Mr AutoBear.
Great review. I have the 2lt. turbo-diesel. I have never owned or seen anything like it.
Thank you for your comment. The 3008 is such a versatile car that it meets many peoples needs. Peugeot are very much the manufacturer to watch. Especially with hybrid and EV models coming soon.
Just bought one but have a few days until it arrives. I am looking forward to it, having up-graded from a 308 GT Line, SW 2-Litre diesel, which served us really well. The reason for the change is that we now need a car that we can enter and leave without a struggle (getting down and/or up) as we're able to slide in and out of the 3008 more easily. I watched many reviews and enjoyed them all. Just one small criticism, where this review is concerned = Too many 'You know what' statements included. Otherwise I enjoyed your commentary. Thank you!
Thank you for your comment. I’m glad you love your new car. Will take that onboard.
Looked at this but I’ve just ordered a new 5008 can’t wait to get it.

Thank you 🙏🏽. So well presented and informative. I was so pleased I found you. The rest of the vids were. Rubbish. Picking mine up tomorrow
Love your video, reliability wise how is it? for example Peugeot have a bad reliability rap, i had a 2008 2017 model and the clutch broke on me after the second day. Would you recommend for someone doing lots of miles or is it a pretty car that is suited locally, i am talking around 20/25,000 miles a year. Would appreciate your response as i am looking for an suv.
liked and subscribed...I've had mine for a year now and love it, we had the Nissan Quashqi before the 3008 and it seems Nissan are miles behind with regards to technology and sex appeal. We wouldn't change ours as there is so many little fine touches that the Nissan Quashqi is lacking... you did mention the fragrance part of the cockpit atmosphere, do you know if you get a new one as standard with Peugout service as ours ran out after about 4 months. We are due our first service this month. Thanks for the video, one of the best I've seen online. Cheers Chris
Thank you for the comment Chris and thank you for subscribing. I believe the fragrance can be topped up at its service interval but I am unaware if it comes with additional cost. I agree the 3008 does have a lot appeal visually to the Qashqai and feels a lot more special as a result. Soon my review of the all new 208 will up up for you to see.
Test drove one and undoubtedly the interior is superb. One aspect I didn't like was the central drive train which means the gear leaver is set a little high and the whole height makes the your left hand hip feel a little squished. You also may not have noted the overly wide foot rest adjacent to the clutch. Even with normal sized shoes on as opposed to boots, it means it's really easy to not depress the clutch fully leading to a clunky gear shift. Some people may find the solution of moving your foot slightly to the right on the clutch easy. Personally I found it an annoying niggle
I’ve been driving a 3008 with a 1.2 turbo engine for 2-3 weeks now, and it is a wonderful car to drive.
At last a real world person, doing a real world review. I have not checked yet, but if you haven't already a 5008 review would be interesting, especially in the 2nd row. It never really happens but I would like to hear about the lighting performance as well please?
Kim Ridgwell thank you for your comment. I will endeavour to keep reviews coming out and of course I will put the 5008 on the list.

Nice review. 👍
One tip ... if I may: if you want to lose the pot belly ... cut the bread at 10 slim slices per day (3-4-3) ... and switch to (red) wine (from beer, of course 😃 ). Never eat at TV or computer. So I did it ... successfully ... with stunning results in just 6 months. 😉
just bought a 2017 Allure 1.6 blue hdi great car
I have the previous version, a H4 diesel hybrid. Love it 50mpg with a 2L diesel driving the front wheels and an electric motor driving the rear. Shame they havent created the same for the new model. Looking forward to the Mild hybrid 48v version
Thank you for your comment. It will be interesting to see how Peugeot use hybrid technology on the range.
Nice review
nlvq thank you for your comment.
Hi also love the interior/exterior of the 3008, question though, there was no MENTION or use of the PADDLE SHIFTERS in the video, your thoughts on the SPORTS PERFORMANCE & EASE OF USE of these: Paddle Gears: Q1. Simple as selecting M (Manual in front of Eat8)? Presumably as many GEARS as the Auto ie, EAT6 or EAT8, right. Obviously/of course: LEFT PADDLE = GEAR DOWN REAR PADDLE = GEAR UP Q2. GEAR INDICATOR on the iCOCKPIT? Q3. GEAR UP INDICATOR on the iCOCKPIT ? This was available on earlier models of the 3008.
great info .
Pick up my new 3008 2 weeks ago. Upgraded from a 208. Totally in love with it. An absolute joy to drive. 💚
