PEUGEOT has launched the new 3008 model to the Irish market, featuring an aerodynamic fastback SUV design, two new powertrains: mild hybrid and fully electric offering a range of up to 527kms (WLTP) and PEUGEOT’s latest
Panoramic i-Cockpit®.
The new 3008 will replace the best-selling PEUGEOT 3008, a car that has impressed more than 1,320,000 customers in 130 countries. Since 2017 in Ireland, over 13,000 customers have purchased a PEUGEOT 3008. The previous version of PEUGEOT 3008 has won the prestigious Irish Car of the Year Award in 2018 and 2010. The vehicle was also crowned as International Car of the Year in 2017.
Building on from its success, with the new 3008, PEUGEOT has taken the creativity of its design, the driving pleasure and electric performance on offer to a new level:
- ALLURE of a fastback SUV with a reinvented and efficient design.
- EMOTION produced by the next-gen PEUGEOT Panoramic i-Cockpit® to take driving pleasure to a whole new level.
- EXCELLENCE of 100% electric range: up to 527kms (WLTP) at launch, with 680km option coming in Q1 2025 and performance, thanks to the new STLA Medium platform and powertrains from Stellantis.
STLA MEDIUM ELECTRIC PLATFORM
The PEUGEOT E-3008 is the first model to use Stellantis’ brand-new STLA Medium electric powertrain, designed to offer best-in-class performance to meet customers’ needs: range (up to 527kms WLTP), recharge time (20-80% in 30 minutes from a 160kW charger), driving pleasure, performance, efficiency, and connected services and functions (Trip Planner, Smart charging, and online updates).
The STLA Medium comprises a permanent magnet synchronous motor operating in tandem with an electric gearbox to deliver more power, efficiency and torque, powered by a 400V lithium-ion battery.
For AC charging an 11kW three-phase charger is fitted on board. For DC rapid recharging, CCS charger on the new E-3008 is capable of charging speeds up to 160kW, enabling the E-3008’s standard range battery to be recharged from 20% to 80% in 30 minutes, and less than 30 minutes for the Long-Range version.
The new E-3008 also features a V2L (Vehicle to Load) function, giving customers the option of powering an electrical device via the car’s high-voltage battery. The system can supply up to 3kW and 16A. The V1G or Smart Charging function can also adjust the time and power at which the battery of the new PEUGEOT E-3008 is charged to optimise charging costs.
FASTBACK SUV DESIGN
The fastback SUV styling of the new 3008 makes it immediately recognisable. With its aerodynamic shape, the new 3008 combines elegance, efficiency and spaciousness. The E-3008 remains one of the most compact cars in the 100% electric SUV category (length: 4.54m, width: 1.89m, height: 1.64m), while still providing 520 litres of boot space – identical to that of the previous 3008.
With a fully redesigned front end, the ultra-compact LED headlamps and grille are complemented by a sweeping profile which highlights the unique personality of the 3008.
Continuing the innovative work that started on the 408, PEUGEOT has equipped the new 3008 with wheels that contribute to both modern styling and aerodynamic performance. The 19” or 20” wheels, with their technical and geometric design, feature the new PEUGEOT emblem at their centre.
At the rear of the car, PEUGEOT has modernised the traditional slope of the fastback with a “floating” spoiler, inspired by the Quartz Concept. This innovative feature enhances the curve of the new 3008’s bodywork while optimising aerodynamics and complementing the distinctive three-claw rear light signature.
The new 3008 is available in a range of six colours.Thanks to innovative dichromatic pigments, the Obsession Blue colour changes from blue to green depending on the light and the shape of the bodywork. The other colours available are Ingaro Blue, Okenite White, Nera Black, Cumulus Grey and Titane Grey.
PANORAMIC I-COCKPIT®
Inside, the new PEUGEOT Panoramic i-Cockpit® features a floating, curved 21” HD panoramic screen that combines the head-up display with the central touchscreen. Positioned for optimum ergonomics, the panoramic screen is slightly curved towards the driver while remaining perfectly accessible to the passenger.
Next to the panoramic screen is the instrument cluster which combines all the required driving information (speed, power, driving aids, energy flow) above the new compact steering wheel. In the centre of the dashboard, the touchscreen is used to manage the heating/air conditioning, navigation and media/connectivity systems.
The central part of the 3008’s dashboard also houses the i-Toggles, fully customisable touch-sensitive buttons that can be programmed to provide quick access to 10 of the user’s favourite functions, such as calling a specific contact, starting navigation to a frequently used destination or setting the air-conditioning to a favourite temperature.
Meanwhile, the cabin’s aesthetics and cutting-edge technology are enhanced by the ambient LED lighting, which can be customised in eight different colours (standard on GT trim). PEUGEOT’s Air Quality System (AQS) ensures that the cabin is a refreshing and calming place to be.
On the fully electric E-3008, the new PEUGEOT Panoramic i-Cockpit® introduces two paddles behind the steering wheel which allow the driver to choose from three levels of regenerative braking.
- Low (-0.6m/s²), for a feeling close to that of conventional brakes.
- Medium (-1.2m/s²), for increased deceleration.
- High (-1.8m/s²), for maximum deceleration, and therefore regeneration.
The medium and high levels automatically switch on the rear brake lights.
INSTINCTIVE DRIVING PLEASURE
For an instinctive driving experience, the new STLA Medium platform incorporates new front and rear axles designed to deliver dynamic roadholding. The architecture of the platform itself contributes to this by lowering the vehicle’s centre of gravity, thanks to the single-layer battery being ideally positioned as low as possible between the wheels.
The New 3008 comes with a suite of driver aids including adaptive cruise control with Stop & Go function, lane keep assist and speed limit sign detection. The 3008 also features the latest PEUGEOT active safety technologies, such as automatic emergency braking with collision warning, lane departure warning, Driver Attention Alert, long-range blind spot monitoring and Advanced Traction Control.
The PEUGEOT 3008 is available with two trim levels, Allure and GT, in the following powertrains:
Three all-electric powertrains (heat pump is standard on Irish spec E-3008 and across our passenger car line up):
- 210bhp/157kW Standard Range (available now): Priced at €43,965 for Allure Trim & €49,795 for GT (price shown is after state subsidies).
