Latest PEUGEOT Headlines

Peugeot has been a leading pioneer in many new motoring concepts, from the first four valve per cylinder twin cam engines of the 1900€™s, to the first production car with independent front suspension (201); the first €“folding roof cars€ (401 Eclipse); electric sliding front doors on the Peugeot 1007 and now the new Peugeot 3008, another new concept ideal for today€™s modern lifestyles.

The Peugeot 3008 is aimed directly at the heart of the medium car segment and is the perfect choice for customers who are looking for something different. Whether these customers currently drive a conventional saloon car, MPV, SUV or a hatchback, the 3008 provides a new alternative which spans all these different vehicle types. It has the flexibility and space of an MPV, the rugged looks of an SUV and the vehicle dynamics of a family hatchback.

It can be the conventional car for daily use, the family car for weekends and holidays and the adventurous vehicle for those with an active life style. Simply put, the car is greater than the sum of its individual strengths, offering many advantages over a conventional car.
