2013-2017 Peugeot 3008

History

The Peugeot construct used to cause got its fourth dimension a decade agone or so, peculiarly alongside the Lee solid unit of measurement (Nissan-UMC, Hyundai fame) bringing these fashionable hatchbacks to the Philippine market. While unique to the buyers palette, their prices aren't friendly addition given the fact Europeans may hateful a luxury machine from FRG or U.K. for something whose size is similar to a Honda Jazz made them a huge failure from hateful solar daytime one. Adding MPVs too vans that were priced to a greater extent than didn't aid either, addition given the fact the economic scheme isn't that vibrant at the fourth dimension of arrival, they had no alternative only to trace out alongside upbeat sales after on for the manufacture equally a whole.

First introduced to the European marketplace inward 2008, the 3008 (do non hold out confused, my friend) got naught only praises from diverse automotive publications too laurels giving bodies despite the fact its outside blueprint was criticized. Although the 4007 was the starting fourth dimension SUV from the French brand, this i was the starting fourth dimension SUV to hold out developed from the the world upward alongside the sometime existence a rebadged Mitsubishi Outlander. So successful, this vehicle continued to hold out sold for 8 years lead inward multiple markets roughly the world.

Under the helm of Columbian Autocar Corporation (Kia, BMW, Mahindra), the Peugeot construct had a comeback alongside the 3008 existence the starting fourth dimension 4 models to hold out brought in. Three models were available  paired to 2 engines were starting fourth dimension made available from Nov 2012 until an update iii years after reduced to i model - the expensive top of the line. The Active model is the base of operations piece the Allure has to a greater extent than fancy features added.

Value too Costs
For the cost of a construct novel Mirage G4 or a instant manus PPV (think Montero Sport or Fortuner), you lot tin cause got a pre-loved 3008 crossover for equally depression equally P700,000 alongside belatedly releases going for P1,000,000 having the residual of the warranty. Not much changes occurred during its run, which is a expert thing, too then focus on the status to a greater extent than than the twelvemonth model.

European brands would ordinarily cause got maintenance costs that are higher than the Japanese too then if you lot are the kuripot type, this is non the machine for you. There are available specialist parts for French cars too fuel consumption is good, since this vehicle is a diesel fuel powered one. Problem points for this vehicle to a greater extent than oftentimes than non postulate the electrical components only at that spot are some transmission too aircon niggles. But if at that spot is i affair to hold out careful of, it is the diesel fuel injectors given the fact the engine is of advanced state.

Exterior too Interior
As mentioned earlier, the outside blueprint is a pump of criticism peculiarly that the grille is huge than its master copy size too you lot may false this i for an oversized hatchback alongside torso cladding, this is tuned for metropolis driving than taking this off-road. All models come upward alongside a panoramic Sun roof too daytime running lights equally measure equipment. For hauling materials at the back, the split upward gate tin crimp downwards for help.

Inside, the interior is flexible plenty which shames several competitors too it folds flat, a feat. Going to persons, it tin fit v persons inward comfort too fashionable mode piece the driver gets a commanding sentiment of the route cheers to an fantabulous outward visibility. Control layout is a mixed bag, some are expert piece some are non too the bonus heads-up display is a help. Cubbyholes too storage boxes of diverse sizes come upward standard.

Engine
With the local Peugeot distributor pushing alongside diesels, the 3008 has 2 stone oil burners throughout selling life. Lower models sold from 2013 to 2015 cause got a 1.6 diesel fuel which gets 112hp at 3,600rpm too 285Nm at 1,700rpm paired to a semi-automatic transmission. Higher goal models hit a 2.0 diesel fuel utilizing 163hp at 3,750rpm too 340Nm at 2,000rpm that is matched to a conventional automatic. The semi-automatics could hold out a complicated combo only you lot would larn used to it after on when you lot larn the hang of it piece the automatics are a fine partner. Both engines are fine only nosotros propose to larn the lesser i since it volition give you lot a slight wages on fuel consumption. Another corking characteristic is this model gets a unique diesel fuel particulate filter which removes harmful particles for null emissions too a start-stop system.

Driving Impressions
Riding on a platform which is equally good shared alongside PSA Group rider cars, human face car-like treatment which performs alongside grace fifty-fifty on curved roads. Comfort-wise, you lot wouldn't become incorrect alongside this vehicle.
