The new Peugeot 3008 joins the SUV coupé trend, debuts the panoramic i-cockpit and will also offer an electric version, the e-3008.

Shortly before its official presentation to the press, scheduled for 12 September, Peugeot has released the first images of the new Peugeot 3008. More precisely, of the electric e-3008 version, which has been chosen for this showcase of the new generation of the compact SUV from the lion brand. A model that debuts Stellantis’ new STLA Medium platform and promises a range of up to three powertrain variants to choose from, with ranges that could reach up to 700 km.

But if you are still not ready for electric mobility, even if range were no longer a problem, or if the price is simply an obstacle -yes, it will be more expensive than the current Peugeot 3008, which has no 100% electric version- but if the images of the new 3008 make your heart skip a beat, don’t worry: there will also be hybrid versions, since the platform is prepared for them.

An SUV with a very coupé style

Design has been one of the selling points of the 3008 since its arrival on the market, an SUV that has always “caught the eye”. And the new Peugeot e-3008 once again reveals a truly striking silhouette, in which the descending rear evolves unashamedly towards the SUV coupé concept. The solid front end, where the bumper integrates perfectly with the bodywork lines, the slim light units and the vertical LED strips resembling “claws” are some of the highlighted features, along with the two-tone finish with the roof and some body elements in black.

The resemblance in some features to the 408 is, of course, no coincidence. But their dimensions -the 408 is larger- and the differentiation in their bodywork, the 3008 being more SUV and the 408 leaning towards crossovers, place them in different segments and with different target audiences. Among its most direct rivals, it will face the new Renault Scenic E-TECH 100% electric, although the latter does not have a body with such a pronounced SUV look.

New Peugeot panoramic i-cockpit

Where Peugeot has pulled out all the stops is in the evolution of its characteristic i-cockpit driving position, with the e-3008 getting the honour of debuting the new panoramic i-cockpit. It keeps the configuration with a very small steering wheel and the instrumentation placed above it, but now the infotainment system screen also moves to the upper part of the dashboard, positioned to the right of the instrument display under a single curved structure totalling 21 inches with two clearly differentiated zones.

In addition to these screens, a third touch surface on the centre console provides access to configurable shortcuts that Peugeot calls “i-Toggles”. Overall, the interior design stands out for its very futuristic feel. Furthermore, Peugeot claims to have improved ergonomics, with more storage space thanks largely to the gear selector moving from the console between the seats to the dashboard. Special attention has also been paid to the materials used, which have a very technical presence and feel.
