Peugeot’s updated 3008 and 5008 SUVs are now on sale, introducing smarter styling, new trims, more technology and extra safety features.

The updated 3008

The upgraded models, which include plug-in hybrids in the 3008, were revealed a month ago and the carmaker has now announced pricing and specifications.

Both models arrive in UK showrooms early next year, with the new 3008 SUV priced from £27,160-£47,430 and the new seven-seat 5008 SUV priced from £29,585-£40,905.

Updates to the smaller 3008 SUV bring enhanced specification, a refreshed trim structure, a choice of advanced powertrains and a new Black Pack.

The new trim structure covers five levels including Active, Allure and GT. Each are complemented by an intermediate level called ‘Premium’, although the UK line-up doesn’t kick in till Active Premium. Equipment on the entry-level Active Premium include 17-inch alloy wheels, Safety Pack, Visibility Pack, keyless start, dual zone air-conditioning, front and rear parking aid, Mirror Screen and electrically folding mirrors.

Buyers can also choose a new ‘Black Pack’, available on the top-of-the-range GT and GT Premium models, including 19-inch bespoke black alloys and roof rails.

A range of driver safety features are on offer and include Night Vision, which allows drivers to view pedestrians and animals on the 12.3-inch digital instrument panel up to 200m beyond the scope of the headlights.

Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop and Go is available on models with eight-speed automatic transmission and includes lane Positioning Assist. And latest-generation automatic emergency braking can detect both pedestrians and cyclists at night at speeds from 3mph to 86mph.

Engine line-up carries over the Hybrid4 300 e-EAT8 which uses a 200hp PureTech petrol engine and two electric motors, giving a combined power output of 300hp, fuel consumption up to 235mpg, emissions of 29g/km CO2 and up to 40 miles of zero-emissions range. It’s the only 3008 model available with 4WD.

The 3008 Hybrid 225 e-EAT8 features a 180hp PureTech petrol unit combined with a single 110hp electric motor for a combined 225hp power output, providing 31g/km of CO2, fuel consumption of up to 222mpg and a zero-emission range of 39 miles.

Both feature a 13.2kWh lithium-ion battery and come with two types of on-board chargers. A 3.7kW single-phase on board charger is included as standard, with a full charge taking three hours and 45 minutes, while an optional 7.4kW on board charger is also available. A full charge using a 7.4kW Wall Box will take one hour and 45 minutes.

The line-up also includes a 130hp 1.2-litre PureTech petrol with a six-speed manual or eight-speed automatic and a 180hp 1.6-litre PureTech with an eight-speed automatic. The diesel range comprises a 130hp 1.5-litre BlueHDi with the same choice of transmissions.
