2016 Peugeot 3008




A car manufacturer is certainly not a do-gooder, at least not in the ethical sense, as we just learned painfully by Diesel gate. He is depended on the sales figures, because the shareholders and his own employees sit him in the neck. And if, as in the case Peugeot 3008, we know from the past that this C- segment SUV is indeed selling like hot cakes, then you will not only keep at this but struggle very hard to make it even more attractive.

No, there are no longer grounds, where one may ride and feel free as a bird, off the beaten tracks. After all, the interiors of today's cars point to sober reality only when looking outside. Inside, it has to be quite spacious and makes us forget the situation of driving or even more the standing in traffic jams. And the C-segment has just the right compromise for any maneuvering in city traffic.


Making your stay in the car as pleasant as possible, is translated by the manufacturers as 'Higher positioning'. The expression driver's workplace almost falls out again of this freshly learned philosophy. Much better is there already 'i-cockpit'. Thus, a steering wheel, the leather is now 'full grain' and the 8-inch touchpad nearly not to distinguish from a tablet. And all this by no means slowly and with plenty of choice between radio, air conditioning, navigation, vehicle settings, phone and mobile apps.

From the repeatedly cited 'sensory experience', Peugeot made a 'Festival of the Senses'. That the eyes at night look in a scaled dashboard of a jet plane, we have become accustomed, also on the configurable center screen and more recently the virtual cockpit with 12.3 inches wide behind the steering wheel. In addition, the modes, not only known for different driving adjustments. The navigation screen can be increased by five modes in their colorfulness.


Panorama roof and premium audio system we already know, but a pneumatic 8-chamber-massage system is new to this class. And the fragrance dispensers now reach even the with presumably almost 30,000 euros still reasonably affordable cars. And, of course, there are for the entire atmosphere again two modes. By the way the 2: 1 folding rear bench seat is named 'Magic Flat'. On the other hand do-it-yourselfers benefit from the folding front passenger backrest, but may possibly spoil the new chic dashboard.

The rest is quickly told, because although there are many assistants, but all well known. Also, the car is said to be once again become lighter, although it is easily grown in almost all directions. And the new, much larger luggage space can be can be equipped with two much more common city vehicles, a foldable electric scooter and an e-bike, both charged while driving, for example, for a series of city tours. 10/16
