This SUV is addressed primarily to active and charismatic city dwellers who keep up with the times, for whom “how the car looks and drives” is important, but they are not ready to sacrifice “everyday functionality” ...
On May 23, 2016, the French automotive brand Peugeot held a preliminary presentation of the 2nd generation "3008" SUV, the public debut of which took place in the same autumn - within the framework of the international auto show in Paris.
Compared to its predecessor, this car has fundamentally changed its image - it not only became much more "crossover" in appearance, but also received: a new platform, a wide range of power plants and a large selection of advanced systems.
In September 2020, during an online presentation, a restyled crossover was presented, the main new things of which were concentrated on the face - the front end was completely redrawn, adjusting it to the current corporate style of the brand. From other angles, the changes turned out to be much less significant, but in technical terms they are not at all, however, at the same time, the car received minor changes to the interior and new options.
Externally, the second generation Peugeot 3008 makes an extremely positive impression - its appearance "screams" about its originality and is replete with bold stylistic decisions. The car was a success from all sides - a daring front end with a pronounced hood and piercing gaze of "fanged" headlights, lean sidewalls with dynamic outlines and a sporty downed stern with spectacular lanterns and a massive bumper.
In addition, the GT equipment is provided for the SUV, which adds a number of special effects to its appearance - slightly widened wheel arches, 18-inch wheels of the original design and an abundance of chrome elements and stainless steel inserts.

The interior of the SUV is truly cosmic - a compact steering wheel cut from the top and bottom, a spectacular dashboard (in the "top" versions, it is completely virtual with a 12.3-inch display) and an 8-inch screen that rises above the center console, managing a large number of functions, which is accompanied by everything six physical toggle keys.
