PEUGEOT IRELAND HAS confirmed that its all-new 3008 SUV will be priced from €25,995 and will go on sale this month.
The competitive price is bolstered by the fact that Peugeot is giving the 3008 a strong hand when it comes to standard equipment. All models will feature the latest version of the company’s i-Cockpit which will include an all-digital dashboard display. It is similar to that seen in other models such as the Volkswagen Tiguan and many of Audi’s newer models, but Peugeot is one of the first to make such a system standard across all models in the lineup.
The entry-level engine will be the 1.2-litre petrol PureTech which produces 130hp and has CO2 emissions of 117g/km. This engine would be ideal for those doing shorter journeys around town.
For those doing longer trips there will be a choice of diesel engines, starting with a 1.6-litre BlueHDi with 120hp and this will be priced from €26,515. There will also be a more powerful 2.0-litre diesel engine priced from €32,045 in Active spec, while both manual and automatic transmissions will be available on selected engines.
As with the rest of the Peugeot range there will be a choice of trim levels starting with Access, Active and Allure. The GT Line adds a different bodykit outside with a more sumptuous interior.
Topping off the range will be the 3008 GT. This will feature a powerful 2.0-litre BlueHDi diesel engine with automatic transmission, 19-inch alloy wheels, Nappa leather upholstery, electrically adjustable seats and posh grey oak panels in the dashboard. Pricing for this premium model has yet to be confirmed.
Order books for the new Peugeot 3008 are now open with the first customer deliveries expected to begin in February.
