We wondered when Peugeot was eventually going to replace its venerable long-running 1.2-litre three cylinder Puretech petrol unit. In the event, for the time being anyway, all it's actually done is to add a Hybrid system to it, built into a new 6-speed auto gearbox. The brand reckons that's all that was needed and in this form, the 3008 is certainly a very complete package.
We're impressed by the efficiency on offer here and the smarter looks of this third generation model are a definite step forward, as is the cabin media tech. It's just a question of whether you can get on with the unusual i-Cockpit dashboard design. We would though, find it difficult to ignore the fact that the identically-engineered Citroen C5 Aircross Hybrid 145 is so much cheaper. If you're smitten by a 3008 though, this is probably the one to choose.
