The 3008 looks like nothing else in the car park — and drives better than its crossover billing suggests.
Peugeot's i-Cockpit divides opinion, but the 3008's exterior design is harder to argue with. It is one of the few family SUVs that genuinely turns heads.
We spent two weeks with the 3008 GT to see whether the style is backed by substance.
The small steering wheel and raised instrument cluster take a day to adjust to, but once acclimatised the driving position feels sporty and commanding. The 1.6-litre turbo delivers adequate pace for Singapore, and the eight-speed auto shifts smoothly.
The 3008 scores well on the things that matter to buyers in this segment.
Fuel consumption averaged 8.9L/100km, and Peugeot's service packages keep maintenance predictable during the warranty period.
The 3008 is for buyers who want their family car to make a statement.
It is not the most spacious or the most refined, but it is the most distinctive.
