The windscreen wipers on the car are set up correctly for right hand drive. On left hand drive models, they are the mirror image. This Peugeot arrangement is designed in the unusual way, that Amelia points out, to get the best possible coverage of the windscreen. Back in the 80's, Volkswagen didn't change the wiper set up for right hand drive cars. In heavy rain you were driving with a massive opaque triangle in the top right hand corner of the windscreen. Dangerous. As VW grew their UK market share (and possibly Australian, I can't say) they started doing it properly. One thing Peugeot don't change for right hand drive cars is the position of the fuse box. That's why the glove compartment is so small on this car.
i was in paris yearssss ago with mom Peugeot Citroen and fiat and opel sit in one group and sister of 3008 is i believe opel Grantland and when brand working together they look like each other this 3008 in GT is a luxury cruiser .and headrest in the front seats appear near the neck and head
The Opel Grandland is indeed mechanically the same as this car. Given that they are both compact SUV’s, they could not look more different, inside or out.
Correction or disclaimer she omitted citroen Australia has given the vehicle to me free of charge or at a greatly reduced price as no punter will use there own money to buy these French niche lemon cars . If a car is not popular new its a resale disaster down the track
These cars are very popular in Europe. In Australia Citroen - Peugeot have a limited range. In general Peugeots are great cars - excellent touring - reliable (have a look at rally results) - comfortable - handle well. We've owned them for 50 years. Never - and I mean never, had a major problem. Just a hint - make sure you get a mechanic that specialises in European cars.
I am from Germany and French cars now are considered as just EXCELLENT. Many Germans are fed up with German cars, being overly expensive. French cars now massively deliver on quality, design and reliability. Yes, reliability. In all Europe, French cars score excellent at security tests. Stop living in the past, it's no longer the 90's.... by the way, which cars does Finland produce ?? Stop trash talking French cars, it's just grotesque.
Unique? No oddball POS, no parts back up, no mechanic wants to work on them, dubious reliability,think france and you think champagne, cologne, not automobiles, no one in their right mind would buy one of these
You have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. There are some excellent European specialist mechanics who love Peugeots (Yes - they are quirky) They are extremely reliable - except for the early 1.2 L petrol Tech engines. The diesel engines have been proven over time. We have had Peugeots for 50 years (Over 10Million kms) Never had a major problem.
@@im8980 I fail to understand what's New or Evocative or Eye catching in this Car. 🤔 Very Medicore or Half backed design attempt. When you have a Clean sheet of paper, design something New and Trendsetting! That's what Car Designers are taught to do! AND PAID WELL. I am Disappointed with this Design 😕
@@wolffury5019 Doing some minor redesigns on a car helps for more profit without investing much more money. Modern car bumpers are also made with thermoplastics olefins, which is easy to redesign...so to save money and make people pay more, they just change the front of the car. Basically, people are paying more just for the sake of a small plastic part that has been redesigned. Notice also how many plastic parts are used in cars nowadays...plastic is cheap....
Petrol and diesel are OLD POLLUTING obsolete vehicles. The future is electric. EVs are just better. No noise, no emissions, less fuel costs, less maintenance costs.
@@karl6203 Australians elected some fossil fuels industry puppets that are holding the country back. How hot does it have to get before people wake up to the fact that Climate Change is impacting them and the world NOW. It is time to dump fossil fuels and go electric.
@@KJSvitko mate I couldn’t agree more, however we are not a nation that has taken a proactive approach to EVs. Therefore, we will still require petrol and diesel vehicles for many more years to come.
I just bought a 2022 3008 GT Hdi with the 2.0L diesel engine. - This is a proven reliable engine and provides plenty of power. Bit annoyed mine has AdBlue@@karl6203

you don't have to press the start / stop hard, just needs to be held down for a bit
Good review. Thanks. The windscreen wiper system has been like that for many years (like - about 50 years)
Nice one, loved the thumbs up from Archie 😊
I just bought one... that colour too - Viagra Blue. Picking it up Friday. First Peugeot.... crossing my fingers 🤣
Tell us : how is it going? Do you like it? I own one, love it so bad !!!!
I have this car in red. The 8-speed. Love it. It's great
Oh my God, it's very dark inside. Is it possible to have 2 different colours?
The wipers position is correct, in Europe is just the same, mirrored of course.
Stunning design. ❤️

Open the glovebox.
Not here for the car.
I think the back should be redesigned too.
Absolutely correct.
Not only the back but the whole Car itself
@@wolffury5019 The side view and the front looks great, the design of the back doesn't fit in...should try something different.

The back is pretty similar to most other SUV's@@im8980
expensive handbags :)
The current batch of vehicles all look the same.
0-100 km is just bad for a sport version
No It doest 0-60mph in 7.7 sec as tested. And the hybrid 4x4 with 300hp in 5.6seconds
It isn't a "Sports car" - It's a family SUV with a Sports MODE.
No no no!

Except if you’re in Australia. You won’t get very far in an EV. We don’t have the infrastructure.
