Since launching in 2016, the PEUGEOT 3008 has taken the lead in the compact SUV market, achieved outstanding commercial performance in Europe and internationally, and scooped the Car of The Year award in 2017.Fast forward to 2021 now and get ready for the brand-new PEUGEOT 3008. Fresh new design sets the tone for modern styling, with the front redesigned, full LED rear lights and new body colour options… this truly is elegance on wheels.Peugeot has not compromised on intelligent technology either – the new 3008 boasts the latest-generation driving aids, as well as the impressive new PEUGEOT i-Cockpit® with high-quality display headset and 10-inch high-definition touch screen.Inspired designThe front of the new PEUGEOT 3008 has evolved towards a distinctive style as unique as ever. Inspired design sets the standard for the next phase of modernity, while enhancing its vibrant, refined look and setting it apart from its competitors.A new frameless grille symbolises the move to more contemporary styling, yet maintains fluid lines, which extend with fins under the headlamps to connect all the elements. Lastly, in line with the entire Peugeot range, the bonnet nose now proudly displays the model’s monogram.Emphasising sportiness, shiny black side scoops and a painted tread plate have been included into the new bumper from the original trim level.There is a specific grille on the GT model with a scalable design pattern to emphasise the stylistic upgrade of this version.The front headlamps have also been redesigned to be more aggressive and include LED technology extended by hook-shaped Daytime Running Lights (DRLs) with chrome tips – a light signature perfectly in line with current Peugeot style and identifiable at first glance.Full LED headlamps on the GT offer a high-tech, distinctive look, creating an extended light signature further optimised by the bend lighting function (EVS), which enhances visibility at speeds of up to 90 km/h.The new ‘Foggy Mode’ function replaces the fog lights and is integrated into the LED headlamps – the system switches on the low beam headlamps with reduced intensity when the rear fog lamps are activated.The rear of the vehicle features new, upgraded headlamps with full LED technology (including reversing light), and displays the 3D claws for a punchy light signature. The indicators are sequential.Covered with clear, smoked glass, the lights extend the black boot lid on each side of the vehicle, helping to visually widen the rear of the vehicle.The GT Models have new 19-inch aluminium wheels to make this finish even more exclusive.In addition, the GT monograms (front wings and boot lid) have been upgraded.The new PEUGEOT 3008 will be available in the following shades:Celebes Blue (new shade)Vertigo Blue (new shade)Pearl WhiteArtense GreyPlatinum GreyPerla Nera BlackUltimate RedAn enhanced experience with the new i-Cockpit®The success of the PEUGEOT 3008 is also partly due to its spectacular interior.
