The new Peugeot 3008 SUV embodies the best that Peugeot has to offer in a 5-seater SUV. Its new design has all the style characteristics that give it more status and distinction while keeping a strong identity on the road. It features a new frameless grille that symbolizes the increasingly modern style, while maintaining a fluid design, and extends with fins under the headlamps to connect all of the elements. To emphasize the sportiness, shiny black side scoops and a painted tread plate have been included in the new bumper.
The full LED front headlamps have been redesigned to be more aggressive with extended illuminated fang-like DRLs accented with a chrome tip. This light signature is perfectly in line with the current Peugeot style and is identifiable at first glance. At the rear, full LED lights display the 3D claws for a punchy light signature. Scrolling turn indicators light up sequentially for added visual clarity to pedestrians and other vehicles. The lights are covered with clear, smoked glass, extending the black boot lid on each side of the vehicle, which helps to visually widen the rear of the vehicle. Completing the look are roof rails and 18-inch Los Angeles alloy wheels that add to the overall stylish appeal of the new Peugeot 3008.
Inside, you will be greeted with premium finishes, leather seats, a panoramic sunroof, a wireless mobile phone charging pad, USB charging ports, and a spacious cabin that fits five adults.
The signature Peugeot i-Cockpit has been enhanced with bigger screens, configurable displays, and a compact multi-function steering wheel for heightened response and improved agility. Its fully customizable 12.3-inch digital head-up display features a digital panel with a high-quality rendering for better readability and contrasts.
The new central infotainment is a 10-inch, high-definition touchscreen that comes with a series of elegant toggle switches to allow direct and permanent access to functions such as radio, air conditioning, 3D connected navigation with voice command, vehicle settings, telephone, mobile applications, and hazard warning lights.
The new Peugeot 3008 includes all the latest generation of driving aids as part of its range of onboard technologies. This includes Active Blind Spot Detection, Active Lane Keep Assistance, and Advanced Driver Attention Warning, making driving safer and ultimately, more enjoyable. It has also been upgraded with an anti-theft alarm, front parking sensors, and power liftgate with foot control for added security, safety, and convenience.

The new Peugeot 3008 is powered by the latest generation 1.6L Twin Scroll Turbo High Pressure (THP) engine that is coupled with a 6-speed Automatic Transmission. The combination produces a high output of 165hp and 240Nm.
The new Peugeot 3008 SUV is assembled at the Stellantis manufacturing plant in Gurun, Malaysia. All vehicles built in this plant undergo specific endurance and quality testing to deliver best-in-class performance to meet the needs of customers in South East Asia. The new Peugeot 3008, together with the Malaysian-built Peugeot 5008, successfully endured a combined 300,000 kilometers of testing in the diverse local climate and environmental landscape.
Peugeot currently has 6 operational outlets in the country, with a target of having 12 by year-end.
The new Peugeot 3008 5-seater SUV is priced at Php 2,090,000 and available in 4 colors: Metallic Copper, Nera Black, Pearl White, and Amazonite Grey.
The new Peugeot 5008 and new Peugeot 3008 are also on display at the Corte de las Palmas, Alabang Town Center, from February 11 to 28, 2022.
