Peugeot is kinda underrated these days, the interior is beautiful.

I'm living in the USA now and miss the European cars. This is a gorgeous car and sadly here we are stuck we the boring CR-Vs and RAV4s...

After a lot of research, and a final seal of approval from Matt, I bought the 1.2l auto 3008 GT Line a year ago. Love it so much I decided to revisit this review a year later (like re-reading a love letter). This car is a pleasure to drive and the interior and kit, for the price and relative to competitors I considered, is fantastic. Tip: Definitely get the electric kick tailgate (I use mine all the time when my hands are full of shopping bags or sports kit) and seriously consider the grip control (for about €200 it takes only one bad snow storm to make you happy that you did, and you also get different rims for that price which will differentiate your 3008 from others on the road!). As Matt says, just buy it!!

I have owned the new 3008 for a 6 weeks now and its been great. I got the 1.6 120 hp and it fantastic. It turns heads all the time.

This car strikes a good balance. Not too boring like Volkswagen, but not too form-over-function like the toyota C-HR

Well I'll be damned. French car with interior even Germans could envy for. It seems like a very nice place to travel in, also the exterior is quite pleasing, stands out from all them "gray diesels". I'd probably buy this instead of some VAG equivalent in 5-6 years when I could actually afford one. Bravo Peugeot!

this is probably the most awesome looking crossover ever. And of course the interior...my gosh that is amazing.

Many people underestimate French cars' build quality although actually premium German cars' interiors (BMW, Mercy, Audi etc) are built by the French company Faurecia. And Faurecia is actually Groupe PSA's subsidiary. In other words, those nice German cars' premium interiors are actually built by the French.

The most practical car ever produced. Well done to Peugeot designer team.

Great review Matt. We have the Allure version and have to say the 1.2 engine is a real surprise. The look of it has drawn a lot of attention with people saying it's like a Land Rover but a bit chunkier. And the interior is so easy to use and very well laid out. It's certainly a change from our Octavia estate.

Another cracking review. Ordering my 3008 GT tomorrow !

Far and away the BEST reviewer I have ever seen! I have been reading car mags since I was 10, 26 years ago. And your reviews are just amazing. Better than anyone I've ever come across on KZfaq, blogs, vlogs et cetera. Keep up the great work mate! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Got this...Premium Line. Loving it. Also looked at the XC40 and it really wasn't worth the extra money considering how much more the Pug gave.

Read a couple of comments asking for a reliability issues. I've had this car for 2 years now. An absolutely brilliant car. Considered Volvo XC40 also. XC40 is already looking a bit meh. This car still looks pretty dang good. Some may be worried about its power. But, I found it more than plenty even when I had to be somewhat heavy footed. The interior is, arguably, the best in its price range. Nothing comes remotely close to its simple elegance. It is also very functional, unlike many other Sports "Utility" Vehicles, which have boot space of a VW Golf (if not smaller). Driving dynamics is good. The small steering wheel is a joy to use. With reliability...I haven't had major issues with it...like engine failure or head gasket blowing. But, I had to take it to the dealer as the driver's side seatbelt warning light and beep came on intermittently while driving (with seatbelt on!). Then became so bad that it was on almost at all times, which became supremely annoying. Dealership unplugged and replugged the harness, which seemed to solve the issue. But, that issue has come back. Two weeks ago, "Engine Fault: Repair Needed" warning light came up and the car lost throttle while I was driving. I pulled over, restarted the car and it seemed okay. Anyway, had the car towed to the dealer and it ended up being the fuel tank issue. Something about it leaking and flooding the cat filter. Both fuel tank and cat filter were replaced under warranty. On the way back from the dealer, the seatbelt warning light and beep came on again. Also, it rained that night. I had complained about apparent rust on the panoramic sunroof rubber gasket. The dealer brushed it off as "just grease". When I reversed the following morning, water poured out from top of the rearview mirror. And did it when I stopped, etc. I inspected the sunroof rubber gasket. It definitely seemed like a proper rust and I'm assuming the water got in through there. Also, the plastic trims that run vertically alongside the windscreen had come pretty loose for some time. Something about the clips being broken off due to "fatigue". Anyway, took my car in against today to address all those issues. Perhaps, just little issues in the grand scheme of things, except the sunroof rubber gasket one. Something like that simply shouldn't happen to a car just around 2 years old. Trims coming loose, I thought French cars were renowned for that. But, thought they'd fixed it recently. Maybe not. Fuel tank...could be a freak occurrence, could be a design fault. Who knows? Seatbelt warning electrical issues, a minor but rather annoying one. So, yeah, there they are. 4 issues I've had with the car, which all happened in the last 3~4 months.

Another excellent review! I love all your reviews mate. Very informative and detailed. Awesome way to buy my next car.

This has to be my favourite cat I’ve ever had the pleasure to possess! One thing that’s mor mentioned is that it’s solidly built.. I was in a collision and the car suffered a few scrapes while the other car was absolutely battered. Walked away unscathed at 60mph

Peugeot has a good reputation in India even though it was discontinued many years ago. Their diesel engines made way to other car models like Suzuki Zen, Suzuki Esteem, Hyundai Accent ets and was considered one of the reliable engines.

Absolutely beautiful and brilliant

I have had a Peugeot 3008 for 6.5 years - no trouble at all, still in showroom condition - hasn't cost me a penny in repairs or unplanned maintenance (other than tyres). I trialled the new one and for a number of reasons didn't like it or the attitude of the dealer who supplied my previous 2 Peugeots. It is better styled but (like many other marques) relies too much on toys to appeal to drivers. I ordered the SEAT Ateca 4WD and have to wait 6 months until delivery (in France) - due end of June. Do not believe all the negative (unproven) criticisms of Peugeot - Trolls are everywhere.

i love this car! and the interior design peigeot has taken is just so amazing and second by none! love the focal sound!

So excited! Just ran across this car today! We're hoping to do the deal tomorrow!!! Lovely car for an absolute bargain!!

1:52 "I couldn't be arsed" LOL

Well done peugeot. Always a great review. Thank you Matt.

Hey Matt. Just picked up mine today. Exact same color😊 Drives like a dream!

Got my new 19 plate 3008 gt line in blood red..love it..awesome

People talking about german interiors, i would like to remind you that Faurecia, a huge company that provides many manufacturers like Audi or VW with entire car interiors, is a french company. So a lot of those german car interior are actually french made.

I've seen those quite often. Peugeot really stepped up their game - they offer the best value for money and it seems like they're spot on - people like to have beautiful vehicles both inside and outside, as well as some cool features. And that's it. Back in the days you had to order a V6 engine to get access to heated seats, panoramic sunroof, and other extras.

Peugeot m'a réellement surpris avec ce modèle et le 5008 !! Cst du beau travail... félicitations

This really is an excellent car. Modern and interesting-looking but not too over the top and still practical. And I just love how you get as standard here things you'd have to pay extra even on an Audi A6.

I instant buyd one today !! 1.6 diesel gtline . Hes amazing !!

An excellent review Mat, comme habitude!!

Big thanks to Mat and the CarWow team. I had a 2011 2.0 litre diesel Renault Laguna TomTom edition. This was an emergency buy as our 2nd child came along. I spent about a year researching the next car for my family. I wanted an SUV and wanted to move back to petrol. I went back and forth between many options. But thanks to these videos I eventually settled on a Peugeot 3008 GT Line. I actually managed to get a 2019 petrol model for a really good deal. I've had the car for 4 months and it is amazing. Thank you Mat for all the advice and review footage. I absolutely love my 3008 and there are absolutely no regrets. Thank you.

Best interior ever.

The fabric on the dash is ingenious. They should make tweed an option or something.

Brilliant PROPER review ....well done that man...really considering this car.

Thanks to this video I bout My 3008 GT and I absolutely love it!!! It have a bad reputation here in Saudi because of the heat but I did my research and I got it now I can go daily afternoon in 50 Celsius weather to get my ice coffee everyday and it feels like 30 Celsius with that amazing AC

He didnt mention that it is one of the few FWD cars that have a decent turning radius. The steering wheel turns way more than on any other FWD car I ever tested. Made me remember Mercedes cars.

Please make a video of the new peugeot 508 2019

Nice Review Matt, i really loved that you recommended to buy it directly not just shortlist it

Great review. I really enjoy watching these.

I think this is one of the best looking (exterior and interior) suv you can buy at that price level.

Awesome interior!!

I love ur reviews very well I guest it touches every area.. One of the best reviews

Hi Mat! I really love your reviews, I follow you from Carbuyer and this channel is really a step-up! Only one issue to me, maybe 'cause I'm italian, I don't understand very well what you're saying in the top 5 good/bad things because the music is too loud and the voice volume too low. BTW the rest of the review is perfect! Thanks again and keep up with the good work!

i think best vehicle in budget with superb interior,and features

Nice car and amazing review.

This car is really roomy and practical!! I bought it three months ago and still I haven't find any issue with it despite the daily use!!!

Like alway's, awesome review... no, not just awesome :) best on YT ;) Which camera you use here, great 4k quality?

drove it 2 months ago. way better than its price says

I drove this car for a week and I loved it, I really want to buy this car 😎

Just picked up my Allure today, love it, drives a dream.

It's a lovely car... I've bought one I've got 9000 miles on it already, and it was amazing at all times.

The music was a bit loud at a few points, i couldn't always understand what you said

Since 1974, I've bought a new VW every 2/3 years. Current cat is a MK7 Golf TDi (not effected by the emissions scandal). Went to look at one of these last weekend (including road test). Build quality is better than my current car. It also drives better. It's on my shortlist - after deciding not to stay with VW

Sacre bleu!! peugeot got its roar and bite back since the late 2010s esp since the new 3008 clawed its way to the streets. C'est magnifique!!

Late to the party but I have been researching an upgrade to my current 308 16 plate and been offered one of these on a 19 plate. Just to say your reviews are very helpful but I like the tongue in cheek nature of them too... miaow 😂😉🐈‍⬛

I really enjoy your extensive coverage via your reviews, and your sense of humour, which eleviates any boring bits that may creep into the review. Can you please advise me if the 3008.would be a suitable car for both my wife and i, whom are pensioners in out late 70s. I would like to continue driving an SUV.type car, as it's obviously easier for us to enter and exit this type of vehicle.And as im about to change my car this year, i just want to make sure this car would be a suitable fit for me. It certainly looks quite a classy car to me, but every little bit of advice would be of great help to me, in respect to making a right and final decision. Thank you in advance.👍

Best looking in its class

The way you're exposing the car is really great 😊

I love your reviews. I wish you have reviewed Honda Insight sold in the US. You are the best!!!

When is the review of the Insignia coming?

This is my next car, ordered one without test driving. Was so glad I liked it when I finally got to try it out! Waiting 10 weeks now, so hopefully not that much long left to wait.

If I was buying/ renewing lease today I'm would be having Peugeot 3008 this brand has hauled itself into the premier league after years in the Sunday league.Cheers Mat great review.

Um dos SUV mais bonito e moderno da atualidade. Nem mesmo BMW e Mercedes Benz tem um carro tão bonito assim. Parabéns à Peugeot!

It is a super-duper looking car for its' money!

Had the petrol model which I found to be lethargic and sore on fuel. Changed to 1500 diesel model and I can say that it is really good in every way !

1:52 “Couldn’t be assed to do the foot waves thing” 😂😂

Rented one of these in France loved it completely. Amazing vehicle. Come to Canada please

finally someone finally dares to say that vw is not always the best and its way overrated

i've ordered a white 3008 gt with the 180ps-diesel in december, i will pick it up on june and i'm really looking forward to it:)

Thanks, dude!!! Because of this review I bought the Peugeot 3008 and I'm really enjoying it!!! THANK YOU!

Ordered 1.5 auto gt line yesterday a five month delivery. Hope Matt correct, we bought because The positive videos and reviews

BUY IT ITS A WONDERFUL CAR

for the first time he didnt say "oh this is plasticky"

I pretty much agree with the reviewer. I recently had one of these on hire for a few days and was pleasantly surprised by it. It looks good inside and out. It is practical, comfortable and good to drive. Its not the most entertaining of cars from behind the wheel but it has an easy going nature. Undoubtedly a very good effort by Pug. That said my personal choice would be the CX5.

I have seen this car recently on the roads. It is such beautiful car!

Very nice interior. Just a shame no trim to cover the painted door frame. My pet peeve.

The manual version of this car is perfect✌️

those dashboard switches and that steering wheel and the look of that gear. 😍😍😍😍

Love your reviews! Are you planning to make one on the new 3008 facelift?

I'm getting mine in 4 weeks, god bless the frencies!! ⛽😘

Whenever I see car journos complaining about the image quality of the reverse camera I lough loud 1. The camera is not for taking selfies or pictures 2. The cost of pack city 2 on a peugeot 3008 is 550 euros and includes parking sensors (front, rear and side sensors), 360 degrees camera and park assist (the one that parks the car for you) Can you tell me how much all this costs to put on an Audi please??? :-) Also about the remarks the 3008 is not an SUV... well it has 22cm of ground clearance. Tiguan has 20 and Kodiaq has 18.... You know you cant go off road with 18cm of ground clearance don't you... For comparison the a-class has 16cm of ground clearance.. Plus the peugeot has the grip control system....

Great review!

Blummin good review again Matt.

Will you review the Peugeot 508 SW RXH?

"Which is way better than anything from VW" - HAHA, exactly what I was thinking. Good pointing that out! : )

Wow that interior...that is absolutely beautiful. The lack of AWD hurts however, but I would definitely consider one if I could.

Mat, You are so cute. I love watching your reviews as they uplift so much. You are straight to the point and very entertaining too. ‘By far my favourite reviewer actually. :] in the process of buying an SUV and your reviews were a godsend! Take care and stay fun and young in looks and spirit!

If you want a bigger car (to carry your drum set around) that can get you out of sticky situations, like muddy roads, and not look like a potato this is the car for you! I absolutely love my GT-line and it is quite cheap to run on long distances or trips to the mountains side every week. I haven't driven many cars in my life but this feels very relaxing and I don't arrive tired at any destination. Thumbs up for the review as well!

absolutely love my pearl white 2 litre blue hdi automatic 3008 GT ok expensive but sexy inside and out gorgeous drive and packed full of safety features love love love

I must say I enjoys your car reviews

I’ve rent one for 2 weeks in Corsica. It’s a GRRREEAAT car. It does extremely well on the little bumpy and curvy roads of Corsica. Did a bit of off road driving to get to some secretive well-hidden beaches and the lack of 4WD was not a problem at all. Compare to the 3008 my every day Tiguan is dull and boring.

for only 2 grand more u get the 5008 which offers 2x times the boot, and similar space to a skoda kodiaq but still lookin great

when will you review the model x ?

You said: "go ahead & buy it" & that's quite unusual of Matt..so I listened..bought this car immediately after watching your video! 😄 & u're dead right. hii'yaaa..😁

Looks cool, not biased because I own an old 307 and currently driving a 107, but I really like Peugeot and their styling, also while these reviews like cubby holds, it’s not always great having the pockets in the rear doors if you have young kids, can’t remember the last car I used with my kids that the pockets wasn’t filled with crap and food and not easy to empty either

How about the DS 7? I'm happy PSA is stepping it up!

Can you please do a comparison between the Peugeot 3008, the Mazda CX-5 and the Volkswagen Tiguan highline

Dear Mat, thanks for the great review!! I wonder what’s the brand of those blue and pink suitcases your use in your videos?

Mat Watson, you have a good sense of humour...we are trying to decide on a car based on your reviews...very helpful, thank you 😊
