I'll miss. After all, before you were different from the familiar SUVs and single-volume vehicles, but now ... What promises the new generation of "three thousand and eight" transition to crossovers? I went to the north of Sweden and was the first Russian journalist to ride on pre-production prototypes.

Only 70 km separate the town called Arjeplog from the Arctic Circle. Automakers have long chosen these places as a platform for winter tests. And the prototypes of “3008”, pasted over with black and white film, rolled out to the huge Bosch training ground, where fine-tuning usually takes place ABS systems and ESP.

0 / 0

The first Peugeot 3008, as they say in the company, was created with an eye on those who are tired of minivans, but not yet ready for a crossover - they say, such customers need something in between. But the market did not appreciate such classlessness. In Europe, the peak of interest in "3008" came just three years after its debut: in 2011, 115,000 cars were bought. And then the results stubbornly crawled down, and now, at the end of its conveyor life, the 3008 is sold one and a half times worse than the bestseller of the Citroen C4 Picasso single-volume segment. However, SUVs are even more popular, and among them things are even sadder for 3008: they run the show Nissan Qashqai and VW Tiguan.

Keeping the old concept of "under-crossover" in such conditions would be just stupid. And at the same time, the French transplanted 3008 to a new platform.

A two-tiered front fascia, a form-fitting cockpit, sleek airflow vents – classy style doesn’t get in the way of convenience. And finally, there is where to put your mobile phone and put a couple of glasses of water. By the way, do not try to see the handle on the center console, which the front passenger can grab - this signature feature previous generation no more

If the first generation car was based on the old PF2 “trolley” from the previous Peugeot 308, then the new 3008 is designed on the EMP2, Efficient modular platform 2, from the current “three hundred and eighth”. She, like the Volkswagen MQB, has five wheelbase options with a pitch of 55 mm. Moreover, for the 3008 model, an almost unstretched version was chosen: in terms of the distance between the axles, it bypasses only the 308 hatchback (2675 versus 2620 mm). This is shorter than the seven- and five-seater C4 Picasso (2840 and 2785 mm) and even than the station wagon 308 SW (2730 mm), but six centimeters longer than the first generation.

There is no longer a corporate silhouette, no tailgate tailgate. The profile has become two-volume, and the clearance, according to the engineers, has increased right up to 23 cm!

In expensive versions dashboard will be completely virtual. The display diagonal is 12.3 inches. It can display both classic scales (their arrows traditionally move towards each other), and various auxiliary functions, including a navigation map

The car itself is nine centimeters longer - from nose to tail 4450 mm (slightly shorter). Large air intakes on the sides of the front bumper, narrow headlights... And what an interior! The designers managed to keep the original ideas of the first generation car: I liked the commanding position with a tight-fitting cockpit, as if on the captain's bridge of a yacht, and I also remember the row of toggle switches on the center console. Now all this is done much more elegantly, and a touch screen flaunts on top of the console, as if stolen from a BMW.

Now the “automatic” does not have a lever, but a beautiful non-fixed joystick in the manner of a BMW

Driver's seat - with excellent geometry. Although modern Peugeot has not done without the eccentricities. Tiny steering wheel with "cuts" at the top and bottom still overlaps part of the devices, if adjusted in the traditional way. Peugeot advises lowering it to the knees, but this is inconvenient.

It’s spacious and comfortable for me, but the “virtual” average passenger has an ambiguous impression: there is no central tunnel, but the console with air vents interferes

In the rear seats it became noticeably more spacious - mainly in the knees. The profile and shape of the sofa are well chosen, and those who sit in the middle will like the absence of a central tunnel. Stop, again? Yes, despite the crossover, the new 3008 will again have no real all-wheel drive! Its absence in Peugeot is argued by the fact that only 10% of buyers of compact and mid-sized SUVs choose all-wheel drive versions. Perhaps later there will be a hybrid 3008, in which all-wheel drive will be implemented by installing on rear axle traction electric motor - as it was done on the first generation car, and with a turbodiesel.

Control of climate control, navigation and other functions is carried out through an eight-inch touch screen with excellent graphics and fast response. multimedia system supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto interfaces

In the line of power units without revelations. In Europe, the main demand will traditionally be for diesel versions. The most modest 3008 is with the BlueHDi 1.6 “four”, which produces 120 hp, the more expensive versions have a two-liter diesel engine with 150 or 180 hp. Moreover, the "middle" version will be brought to Russia. But we will not have Peugeot petrol pearls. This is me about a three-cylinder turbo with a volume of 1.2 liters and a return of 130 “horses”. Oh, it’s not for nothing that this unit won the title of “International Engine of the Year 2015” in its category. I rode this "3008" with a six-speed "mechanics": a peppy start with the help of a "transparent" clutch, a fat shelf of momentum, a cheerful sound - and no vibrations at idle. The plump gear lever seems to find itself necessary transmissions, and as an alternative - a six-speed classic "automatic" Aisin. He is also assigned diesel versions, and the usual petrol turbo four 1.6 THP. In Europe, the latter produces 165 hp, but we will have "tax-friendly" one and a half hundred "horses". By the way, the engineers mentioned that the modern eight-speed Aisin will soon appear on Peugeot.

Setting control washer power unit and traction control is familiar from the first generation 3008. Peugeot calls it Grip Control. The modes have not changed: ordinary asphalt, for snow, mud and sand. And a separate position completely disables ESP, but only up to a speed of 50 km / h

0 / 0

And the charms of the French chassis are already here. Light steering with a logically increasing effort, lively reactions and a dense, but “rounded” ride. One has only to slightly cover the gas on the arc, as the 3008 smoothly goes into a skid under the supervision of a delicately tuned stabilization system. Gambling!

So far, not a single car is produced on the EMP2 platform with a rear multi-link suspension. So the new 3008 has a semi-dependent beam. And also pay attention to how neatly the bottom is made.

And for those who dream of all-wheel drive, the proprietary Grip Control washer has been retained, with which you can optimize the operation of the power unit and ESP, depending on the surface. And Grip Control really helps. I try to climb the snow-covered serpentine in the "asphalt" mode, but traction control too greedy with traction. I turn the puck into Snow mode, the system loosens its grip, allowing a strictly defined amount of wheel slippage, and the 3008 confidently moves upwards with the gas pedal recessed. What if you have to go down the mountain? There is a corresponding electronic assistant HDC (Hill Descent Control), and very curious. Since the minimum speed is limited by the gear ratio of the transmission, in Peugeot you can turn on “neutral” right on the descent, and then HDC will slow the car down to a completely snail's speed, which can be controlled by ... the gas pedal. A little pressure, the engine, not connected to the wheels, growled, the brakes loosened their grip - and the car rolled faster. The sensations are very unusual, but it is convenient to use.

washer windshield on 3008 it is implemented in an unusual way: its nozzles are located directly on the wiper leash next to the brush mount

Of course, without Russian production it will be very difficult for the new "3008" to compete with localized Toyota crossovers RAV4, Kia Sportage, Nissan Qashqai and X-Trail. In addition, this will have to be done without all-wheel drive, which is more in demand here than in Europe: last year it was chosen by almost half of the buyers of mid-size SUVs. But with such a catastrophic drop in Russian sales (last year, demand fell fourfold), the Peugeot brand is now clearly not in the mood for setting up local production - to maintain its presence in the market.

But in Europe, Peugeot is on the rise: last year, demand for the 308 increased by a third. Both the 208 hatchback and the 2008 SUV are in the black. I'm sure the 3008, whose sales will begin in the fall, will also become an excellent student.

Less than a year has passed since the presentation of the second Peugeot 3008 at the motor show in Paris, and this crossover has already managed to get the title of "Car of the Year" and become the sales leader in its homeland in the class of mid-size SUVs. You should not be surprised at the successes, because as a result of the change of generations, the model really took a step forward: if the predecessor had real problems with self-identification, and it looked more like a compact minivan than an SUV, then the novelty has no such problems - it is the most real crossover. Moreover, it is very stylish and modern, for which it remains only to applaud those who were able to defend the design from the Quartz concept of the 2014 model in front of the Peugeot management. Read the rest of the details about the new 3008 in our review!

Design

All have headlights like headlights, and the updated “three thousand and eighth” has eyes. Well, how else to designate what the language does not dare to call simple optics? It is enough to take a single look at the photo of the novelty and, in particular, at the head lighting equipment, to make sure that it looks really conceptual, thanks to the aforementioned Quartz. Not somehow, namely conceptually, since usually, due to the complexity of manufacturing, automakers equip production models simpler optics, leaving original design their show cars for history. Finally, an exception appeared, and hence the conclusion follows: it seems that Peugeot for once realized that they were previously the most boring in the world the lineup requires change.

Almost everything is original in the Peugeot 3008 2017: and front bumper, and radiator screen, made in the form of a grid, and fog optics, which are inscribed in angular niches with chrome trim. The "front end" as a whole looks aggressive and commands respect even among the owners of very expensive foreign cars. The image of an ultra-modern "off-road vehicle" is complemented by expressive stampings on the sidewalls, large informative rear-view mirrors, elegant silver roof rails and light-alloy wheel disks with an interesting pattern (you can choose from 17- and 18-inch wheels). "Korma" attracts attention with extraordinary red and black lighting. Some will think that appearance at rear lights quite controversial, but one thing is for sure - it turned out spectacularly.

Design

Peugeot 3008 2017 is based on modular platform EMP2 - it also serves as the foundation for the "three hundred and eighth" and German crossover Opel Grandland X. It has an independent MacPherson spring suspension with a stabilizer in front roll stability, and at the rear - a semi-independent spring suspension with hydraulic telescopic shock absorbers. Thanks to the installation of a new “trolley”, the mass of 3008 was reduced by almost a centner.

Adaptation to Russian conditions

The second "three thousand and eight" would be ideal for Russian roads, if not for one BUT: there was no all-wheel drive, and no. This problem is partly solved by the Advanced Grip Control system, which, using the ESP settings, can simulate a differential lock, which is very useful in sand and mud, especially if you have enough “toothy” tires. In addition, there is an assistant when descending from the mountain and the clearance is increased by as much as 50 mm - up to 219 mm. However, this does not replace full-fledged all-wheel drive, which is necessary not so much for conquering off-road as for confident driving in the cold season, so the French manufacturer definitely has something to work on. For operation in winter, the “SUV” is provided with heating of the lower part and the left pillar of the windshield, as well as heating of the exterior mirrors with electric drive and three-stage heating of the first row seats. In addition, the Era-Glonass state emergency call system has been installed specifically for the Russian market.

Comfort

The interior of the new 3008 is finished quite quality materials and designed in the style of the latest creations of Peugeot - with a claim to futurism, as evidenced by a tiny flattened steering wheel on both sides and a huge 12.3-inch screen in place of classic instruments. Some automotive experts compare it with the interior of a premium compact crossover range rover Evoque - on the one hand, the comparison is inappropriate, because the “Frenchman” still does not reach the premium class, but on the other hand, its interior is not that far removed from the Evoque. At least in terms of feeling. Despite the futurism, you won’t have to get used to the cabin for a long time, since everything here is thought out to the maximum. The steering wheel has a comfortable grip, the digital “tidy” boasts excellent graphics and speed, pleasant lighting and a built-in fragrance give good mood, and fabric or pseudo-wood inserts (depending on configuration) look expensive and pleasing to the eye. Even the electronic joystick of the six-speed automatic transmission, unusual for Peugeot, reminiscent of BMW joysticks, does not spoil the picture. A slight dissonance here, perhaps, is brought only by the cruise control panel, which was inherited from the old PSA cars.

The front seats of the Peugeot 3008 2017 are the first time among PSA models that a really great massage is provided (option). It is completely different from what sister brands Citroen and DS offer and is no worse than expensive German-made executive sedans. The massage function is controlled by an eight-inch touchscreen tablet located on the center console. The seats on the front row are hard, with a comfortable profile and a wide range of adjustments. The rear sofa is also hard, and this is not a drawback at all. There is no shortage of free space, and indeed the second row of the Peugeot 3008 2017 is one of the most spacious in the segment. Only rear heating is not enough for complete happiness.

Standard equipment on the 3008 second generation includes rear parking sensors, cruise control with speed limiter, dynamic stability control, tire pressure sensor, electric parking brake with hill start assist and 6 airbags, including front and side airbags. , as well as "curtains". For an extra charge, front parking sensors, an assistant when descending a hill, and a rear-view camera are available.

In all trim levels, the center console of the car is crowned with an eight-inch touchscreen of the multimedia complex, made in the form of a tablet. "Multimedia" has Toggle Switches, Bluetooth, USB connector for connecting mobile devices, the built-in Focal audio system and the MirrorLink function, which mirrors the contents (desktop, etc.) of the smartphone on the touch screen. The sound of the audio system is not bad, but, alas, it is impossible to give 5 points for it.

Peugeot 3008 Specifications

The technical “stuffing” of the Peugeot 3008 2017 consists of two direct injection engines: two-liter diesel BlueHDi producing 150 hp and 370 Nm at 2000 rpm, as well as a 1.6-liter THP petrol unit with a peak torque of 240 Nm at 1400 rpm. For the sake of transport tax the gasoline engine was deformed from 165 to 150 hp. The engine prefers fuel with an octane rating of at least 95. Both engines comply with the Euro-5 environmental standard and are combined with a six-speed automatic transmission EAT6 (Efficient Automatic Transmission) gears. Average consumption gasoline "according to the passport" - about 6 l / 100 km, and diesel fuel- 4.8 l / 100 km.

Launched an updated Peugeot model 3008. Experts have already noted that there are not many changes in the car. Let's take a closer look at this crossover.

The golden version of the crossover looks quite stylish and original, the designers achieved the effect by means of double coloring - this is a black stern and a golden body.

new Peugeot 3008 2018

The car stands out significantly from the background of other models - this option can be purchased upon purchase maximum configuration Peugeot. GT Line is the most luxurious decoration, but the colors turned out to be lacking, gray, copper and platinum are attached to the black stern.

The next version of the car is the Allure medium equipment, experts say that it is this assembly that has received great demand among consumers in our market. The basic version is not so popular yet. But you can choose an engine in it - it's a turbo-petrol engine with a capacity of 150 Horse power and diesel. They have a difference in volumes, the first by 1.6 liters, and the second by 2 liters. Both options are paired with a six-speed automatic transmission and a classic type of design.

Front view of the updated Peugeot 3008 2018

Peugeot 3008 price on gasoline engine about $26,000, and the diesel variant is already just over $26,000. Basic equipment with a diesel engine $ 28,100, full set there will be a cost of more than 34,000 US "rubles".

Consider the Allure configuration with a diesel engine.

To begin with, let's evaluate luggage compartment, its total volume is 591 liters, there is also an additional raised floor, which is distinguished by its rigidity. Inside, boards made of plastic material are equipped, a shelf is installed that closes luggage. In operation, this compartment also did not cause any particular difficulties, thanks to the low threshold and the sufficient height to which the door rises, it is quite comfortable to pack bags. There is an option to fold rear seats and get an almost flat area with a volume of 1670 liters, there is a hatch, through which you can safely get small items.

When traveling distinctive feature has wheel, it allows you to safely maneuver, and complements driving safety with a system that recognizes approaching objects on the road. Far lighting is adaptive, and the system of retention in the correct movement zone helps not to break the double solid line.

Separately, about the steering wheel, its handling is at the highest level, minimal movement is required to rebuild the car in its lane after overtaking. He clearly executes commands, so in most cases it will not be necessary to intercept hands. Interestingly, the steering wheel is small in size, which does not look quite compatible with a large car.

Getting into the zone of pits and hunchbacks on the roadway with sudden transitions, the car behaves with dignity. Of course, it is not always possible to pass a dangerous section without shaking the car, but the maximum mitigation of the path is provided. In the event of trash sections of the road, you can feel the rigidity of the chassis. As for the suspension, it does its job quite well and works in conjunction with the front struts, known as MacPherson struts. The role of the rear is performed by an ordinary beam, which is practically not calculated, since the work setting is quite good.

on calmly and flat road the car proved to be even better, a high level of sound insulation allows you to calmly conduct a dialogue without raising your tone, even with second-row passengers. I was pleased with the smoothness and softness with which the car moves on a flat surface.

Provides high tempo support diesel engine, with a volume of two liters, its power is 150 horsepower. The model is quite light and dynamic, the peak of torque comes already at two thousand revolutions, and lasts almost up to three. The car accelerates well, up to 100 km / h in 9.6 seconds, on wet pavement this value increases to ten.

The gearbox has been brought to an almost ideal variant, the shifting is smooth, it works well even in city traffic jams. In rare cases, there is a transfer to other modes in lower gears. You can choose manual or sporty. But the visibility is a little lame, the exterior mirrors, despite their overall dimensions, provide a narrow sector for viewing. The all-round viewing system transmits a not very high-quality picture, while there is a delay in its construction, which is not very safe.

The Peugeot 3008 GT Line model has not been tested for serious off-road, it is front-wheel drive and is not intended for this purpose. The equipment of the Peugeot 3008 GT Line 2018 electronics allows you to insure yourself in case of difficult situations, the clearance in operation is 170 mm, which differs from that declared by the manufacturer by 10 mm. Fuel consumption is approximately 6.5 liters on the freeway and about seven liters in urban areas. Again, there is a difference from the data provided by the developers, which refers to a consumption of 5.5 liters.

interior of the new Peugeot 3008 2018-2019 model year

Of course after middle version, full equipment is immediately felt. The first is the salon, in the interior of the Peugeot 3008 GT Line there are luxury items, leather trim. Separately, it is worth mentioning the chairs with massage, providing a comfortable trip. A roof with a panoramic view, interior lighting that changes its mode. Two systems installed in the package are responsible for some functions - these are Boost and Relax. They control the operation of the massage chairs, select the type of massage and the aroma of the fragrance, which is already built-in.

It is better to set all the functions in advance so that when you travel, all systems are activated in a comprehensive manner and ensure a comfortable trip. The car enthusiast can choose among these features sports mode, which will emphasize the speed of Peugeot, but at the same time it will not move faster. Electronically controlled shock absorbers adjust to the selected mode, which greatly changes the behavior of the car when driving.

A distinctive feature of this version is the equipment that is not available in other trim levels even with an additional payment. The basic set of systems responsible for security, as well as multimedia, is designed in a slightly different style. Already in the car navigation system, and in the previous configuration it will need to be purchased separately. The salon is distinguished by style and modern design; the developers used the i-Cockpit concept for it, which added sophistication and solidity to the interior.

Let's draw a conclusion

Peugeot 3008 makes a good impression on the consumers of our country. It has a complete set of electronics to help prevent emergency. Of course, the model will not withstand the load on steep turns, but as a crossover for comfortable vacation trips, it is perfect.

In terms of its size, the model is not very large, however, from the cabin it seems that you are driving a huge SUV. The developers have tried to make the interior roomy enough, so on back row comfortably fit three adults. The result is an elegant crossover, suitable for urban roads with normal fuel consumption and enough powerful motor, which is enough for fast acceleration.
