Peugeot Introduces Imperceptible Model Year Updates To The 3008 And 5008 SUVs

Peugeot is celebrating five years since the launch of the 3008 and 5008 by announcing model year updates for both models in the UK. The current generation of the Peugeot 3008 and 5008 were introduced in 2016 and received a comprehensive facelift in 2020.

Since the facelift was applied only last year, visual changes for the 2022 MY are limited to the addition of gloss black door mirrors on the Active Premium, Allure, and Allure Premium trim levels, from the flagship GT. The 3008 is a five-seater while the 5008 is the bigger seven-seater model, thanks to the slightly longer body and the redesigned tail.

The 3008 GT and 5008 GT come standard with a new premium Belomka cloth upholstery combined with Mistral half-leather and Akinite Copper stitching. The 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster is combined with a 10-inch infotainment touchscreen with navigation, which is a standard feature in all variants but the base Active Premium models. Available driver assistant features include Night Vision, Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop and Go, Lane Positioning Assist, and more.

The 3008 is available with the 1.2 Puretech petrol and the 1.5 BlueHDi diesel engines, both producing 128 HP (130 PS) and mated to either a six-speed manual or an eight-speed automatic transmission. There are also two plug-in hybrid powertrains combining the 1.6 Puretech engine with one or two electric motors, producing 222 hp (166 kW / 225 PS) for the Hybrid 225 (FWD), or 296 hp (221 kW / 300 PS) for the Hybrid4 300 (AWD). The electric range is up to 39 miles (63 km), always according the WLTP cycle.
