I have a 2018 model 3008 and I'm glad I skipped the following upgrade, because this 2024 model is gorgeous inside and out. I do actually think the front could be a bit more interesting, but overall, I really like the design. I've also not really been a fan of these wrap around screens, but Peugeot makes it work really well. Instead of a minimalistic design where a screen protrudes out of an otherwise boring interior, Peugeot creates a very interesting cockpit with an interesting large screen that intergrates well. I particularly like that fact that the screen floats and has the ambient lighting behind it. I do wish some piano key design was more obvious because it has become a real Peugeot hallmark, but...I still like what they have done with the lower buttons. The fabric around the doors, dash and center console is really nice. I'm in New Zealand, so I have no idea when it will arrive here...or even if it ever will? The 408 did not arrive here and I had considered upgrading to that, if it did. Lets see if this one comes here. The 3008's have sold fairly well in NZ, so they should bring the upgrade here.
I'm glad I didn't wait around for this, after renting a diesel 3008 a couple of years ago and thinking that the next gen EV of it would be compelling. I bought an Enyaq instead (Nobby's review helped!) and it rides with poise, maintains a high roofline in the cargo area and has a rear wiper, which has proven invaluable in northern France. Peugeot take note - Hyundai capitulated and will be making a rear wiper available on the Ioniq 5.
I have the PHEV version on this one. The range dropped dramatically on that car. It made me charge it every single use because running it on its petrol engine alone is very thirsty. I ended up with a staggering electricity bills. So I traded up with a Tiguan R Line 2.0 TDI and to my surprise I managed to save €1000 off of my electricity bills! Apparently my 2.0 TDI is far more economical to run than PHEVs.😂
@@NobbyOnCars Well it’s same in all EVs. Range degradation especially in winters. They should stop advertising the max range because in real world driving is way lower than that.
@@NobbyOnCarsThey advertised 60 kms range. But I only got 15 kms.😂 I don’t get that with Diesel. I get what I paid for. Even more efficient as I go the distance. I went to Peugeot to address the range drop. They blamed me for my driving style for the it despite of being so gentle with the pedal.
@@pinkypoohable 15kms seems way too low but if you do big miles, electric isn’t necessarily for you so maybe you were sold the wrong car to begin with.
5008 plugin interest me. I don't know when it will come. New outlander phev is landing soon to Europe with battery upgraded even bigger from 20kwh currently sold elsewhere.
I test drove this car today and I have to say it feels very nice and smooth and quiet. Love the cabin. Arm rests are very comfortable. Spacious for front, rear not as much but more than enough for children slash small adults. I can't comment on the range as only had it for 20 minutes. We've never had an electric car so but anxious about charging and all that, but I've had enough of petrol stations lol
Manufacturers seem to have given up trying to cut battery or vehicle weight which would really help range and instead are just installing massive batteries. The replacement cost on the small screen for my old C4 picasso is £700 plus fitting god knows how much they’d want for this one!
This car with the larger battery supposely weights the same as the ID.4 with the large battery, even if this car has 20 kwh more. To be fair though, it's not exactly light no. The Renault Scenic EV though... they seem to really be trying. That car has a 87 kwh battery but only weighs 1.8 tons (ID.4 and this car 2.2 tons). The small Renault 5 with the big battery will end up just short of 1.5 tons, which is comparable to a VW Polo.
@@bordersw1239 Fair enough, the Renault 5 is at best 50-150 kg heavier (unladen weight is 1450 kg supposedly, looked it up). Though that would still be on the lighter side for the class. Compare to the updated Mini Cooper SE, which is slightly smaller and has about 10% less battery capacity, which unladen checks out at 1680 kg.
Hi Nobby. Just a little thing but when you are talking about something, like the seat base and wireless charging the editing goes somewhere else. Bit odd i find. Why o why are manufacturers not putting rear screen wipers on cars. I cannot believe they think people don’t want them. Grrr. Also, those wheels. Who, in Peugeot though that was a good idea. Would put me off for sure. Indicator sounded loud. Did you think so? Keep up the good work. Always enjoy your reviews 😊
Only noticed how the kerrr was parked, from the drone shot there at end - you looked so small when you were looking at the boot, early in the video! And was saying - Christ, me oul dog will break his neck trying to jump into that !!! Even so, it’s still quite high - noticed while watching Derek’s vid earlier. Wonder will they get that battery into the 308? Drove an Astra at Derek’s EV show last week - very nicely put together machine - now if Stellantis put that 73kWh battery into the Astra - that would be a deadly machine.
To me the steering wheel always feels too low on peugeots, and then some I can't see the dash because the top of the steering wheel is oddly placed. I wouldn't buy one due to that but I have to say it's a good looking car.
Agree. My son is learning to drive. His instructor has a 208. My son hates it. Just can't get the seating position right. Much prefer his mums Mazda 2 which he finds perfect.
I get really annoyed when people say they can't get a comfortable driving position (usually mentioned in UK reviews) I have a 2022 model and read the reviews so I took particular note when I went for a test drive. I am 6ft tall, my wife is 5ft 2" and the salesman was 5ft 6" (approx). I messed up the settings and we all had to find a comfortable driving position - No problems . However you had to make sure you fiddled with the steering wheel and the seat together. The small steering wheel is great, especially around town - easy to use - light but direct.
This is an international launch of a car, you drive it for a few hours at most. Won’t know what it’s really like until I have it for a week in Ireland.
Just another observation, after watching several new car reports recently, is the amount of car manufactures useing BLACK headlinning!! Why, it makes for a much darker interior. What was wrong with the white or cream they used to use for years & years!
Fine looking car but perhaps they have they priced themselves out of the customer cohort that the previous version enjoyed? And we know the handbrake works.
@@NobbyOnCars Whilst checking that, please check if there's a "skini- mini" spare wheel or a can of "goo & hopefully go". which didn't work for me when the subject wheel split its wall kms from anywhere!! MERDE
I don’t necessarily think there’s a crash in the EV market, I think it’s more of a price adjustment. They were all ridiculously priced at first but all the Chinese competition is helping to bring down the prices. No harm.
0:28 What a silly question . that size EV should have as a standard 90kWh battery and real long range should have 110kWh to offer real life range 350 mile
I was disappointed with the coupe shape, it looks too extreme to my eye. They should have stuck with the old traditional SUV shape. Yeah I know not as aero and less range but the 96kwh battery (massive!) could take it
the 700km car will only come out end of the year/begin 25 ... which i made an pre order as i was waiting for that range these ones like the video is geting only around 500km ...
Gets 280 miles takes 9 hours to charge a diesel 3008 gets over 500 miles and takes 2 minutes to fill the tank new doesnt always mean better it would seem
A stunning car, with such an alluring design and quality surpassing the Germans. Bravo Peugeot, truly next level!
Living the international motoring journalist dream Nobby! Well done!

Lovely interior (and review) but wont all that cloth on the dash be impossible to clean in the event of food or liquid stains?
Good question - it’s quite a durable texture and would be wipeable but I’m not sure how it would hold up to greasy finger marks from food etc
Not found any video of rhd version yet. I wonder where gear shifter will be positioned.
Can’t imagine there’s any just yet.

To be honest it is "easier" to chuck in a large battery than to develop a "light" EV that has a balance of good range and efficiency.

Guess you’re right about the battery. Oh - and STLA said like a northern SDLP - yep - I found that funny - so I dad!
Why would you drive a boat/submarine on the road?
Too expensive, I will stick to petrol where I can go from empty to full in around 90 seconds by putting a liquid in it.
That’s fine. I choose electric mainly to reduce my carbon footprint and fine particle emissions, but secondly because they are fun to drive.
To me the steering wheel always feels too low on peugeots, and then some I can't see the dash because the top of the steering wheel is oddly placed. I wouldn't buy one due to that but I have to say it's a good looking car.

Would like to see other ones for sure
Agree. Look like they were given the nod after a too-long boozy lunch. Merde☹🤮
Nobby, do you have to follow the English and put an "r" in Peugeot?
the 'official' range is like 326 miles.. what kind of miles did you actually get per charge?

Sadly the car hasn't arrived in the uk still waiting.
Seeing billboard ads for them everywhere, must be due very soon!
Does this new 3008 have autohold?
Not that I noticed actually - need to double check

Those indicators sound a tad loud and annoying?
They are!
They sound like a really fast game of Pong!
A 700km version might then get 500km under normal driving and weather conditions.
Some good elements in this car but feels half way. That is how most EVs are until they mature. I feel more optimistic for future of French cars now.
Values of EV's are plummeting.
I know people who are desperately trying to get rid of these things, after being stung.
Why not just say it as it is?
Is it as bumpy as a Model Y, Nobby?
I don’t necessarily think there’s a crash in the EV market, I think it’s more of a price adjustment. They were all ridiculously priced at first but all the Chinese competition is helping to bring down the prices. No harm.

Not everyone wants to pay for that/carry that much weight. If you want that, buy a luxury brand.
