2018 Peugeot 3008 pricing and features

Peugeot’s all-new 3008 medium SUV arrives in showrooms with relatively high entry-level pricing that’s offset by a broad list of standard features.

Priced from $36,990, the entry-level 3008 Active costs around $8000 more than its entry-level Mazda CX-5 rival and $5000 more than the cheapest Volkswagen Tiguan variant.

However the standard equipment list in the base-model 3008 Active is more in keeping with a similarly priced mid-spec CX-5 Maxx Sport FWD [$34,390] and Tiguan 110TSI Comfortline [$36,990].

The Active and the mid-spec Allure and GT-Line variants are powered by a 121kW/240Nm 1.6-litre turbo petrol engine, with while a 133kW/400Nm 2.0-litre turbo diesel sits under the bonnet of the range-topping GT.

Both engines meet Euro 6 emissions standards, with the turbo petrol having a frugal combined fuel economy rating of 7.0L/100km and the diesel managing an even thriftier 4.8L/100km.

There’s just one transmission option in the range, a six-speed auto, which pushes power to the front wheels. While there is no AWD option, a Grip Control traction system is available as a $200 option.

An Advanced Safety Pack, which includes emergency braking, active cruise control and lane keeping assist is standard in the GT-Line ($43,490) and GT ($49,490) variants, and a $1500 option in the second-up Allure ($39,490).

While the new 3008 takes a more conventional SUV form, it actually has more interior space than its predecessor, with 24mm extra legroom and 36mm more headroom. The boot size has also been increased from 432 to 520 litres, which expands to 1580-litres with the rear seats folded down.
