Peugeot 3008

The Peugeot 3008 is a compact crossover SUV manufactured and marketed by Peugeot. It was first presented to the public in Dubrovnik, Croatia in 2008, and then again in 2010 at the Mondial de l'Automobile in Paris, by the French manufacturer Peugeot. It was launched in April 2009 as the successor to the Peugeot 4007 and Peugeot 4008, and it fills a gap in Peugeot's model lineup between the Peugeot 308, with which it shares its platform, and the Peugeot 5008, its larger counterpart. The second-generation model, which is based on an EMP2 platform first seen on the second-generation Peugeot 308, was launched in 2016, with the vehicle being available as of January 2017. Originally, the Peugeot 3008 was developed with the Peugeot 5008, and as of February 2019, the 3008 was developed together with the Citroën C5 Aircross, DS 7 Crossback and the Opel Grandland, sharing platforms and engines.

First generation (T84; 2007)
Launched in 2008, the 3008 shares its platform and bears similarity with the Peugeot 5008, which is a three-row MPV and larger counterpart of 3008. Despite having had its styling criticised, the 3008 has been praised by automobile magazines. In January 2010, the British motoring magazine What Car? awarded it Car of the Year for 2010. It also was awarded 2010 Semperit Irish Car of the Year in Ireland. The 3008 followed up this award in 2018, by winning the Continental Irish Car of the Year.

The Exclusive and Allure models have a head up display, which projects a reading onto a small perspex like screen just in front of the main windscreen area in front of the driver. It also contains a distance alert, which warns the driver if they are too close to the car in front. It also displays details for cruise control or the speed limiter.

Hybrid version
The Peugeot 3008 HYbrid4 was launched in February 2012, and is the world's first mass production diesel electric hybrid, which used the 6-speed automatic transmission. It included the only 2.0-litre DW10 diesel engine in the PSA line-up. The DW10 engine was rated at 163 PS at 3750 rpm and 340 Nm at 2000 rpm.

The crossover hybrid has four different operating modes: Auto (the electronics automatically control the entire system), ZEV (all electric), four wheel drive mode (4WD) and sport (higher engine speeds than normal mode). A 200v nickel-metal hydride (Ni/MH) battery pack is located in the rear.
