Back in January, a prototype surfaced that we identified as the facelifted version of the Peugeot 3008 crossover, which is due next Tuesday on September 1st at approximately 4 AM EST. The unveiling will take place online, naturally.
We’ll get back to you with a direct link to Peugeot’s streaming platform on Monday, August 31st – which is when the French carmaker will make the address public. So what can we expect once all the images are official?
Well, if that Forum-Peugeot leak from last month is anything to go by, and it sure looks like it is, then the updated 3008 will gain a revised front fascia with 208 and 508-like daytime running lights, a wider central intake and more pronounced lateral intakes. It’s definitely a more dynamic look.

Other visual changes should include updated taillights with slightly more pronounced graphics. Minor updates are coming to the i-cockpit dashboard too, where the facelifted 3008 will employ a new infotainment system with a much larger display than before. Everything else looks more of less the same, but expect some trim changes too.
Engine options should remain pretty much unchanged, meaning a wide range of gasoline and diesel units, as well as two hybrid 1.6-liter four-pot engines and a plug-in hybrid. The latter should continue to carry the name Hybrid4, which currently boasts 296 HP and 36 miles of all-electric range.
The Peugeot 3008 is the third best-selling crossover in its segment in Europe, trailing the Nissan Qashqai by only a couple of thousand units. The VW Tiguan holds roughly a 14,000 unit lead for the first half of 2020.
