PEUGEOT 3008 GT premium Hybrid, March 2021.
I really love this car. I chose it as a replacement for my much loved BMW X1, X Line, X Drive 25D.
I decided to go for the Premium hybrid 225 rather than the hybrid 4 300, due to the fact that the Premium model has quite a few more key options (both essential and ‘luxury’ features) included than the GT 300 version.
It is a stunning mix of looks, comfort and practicality which covers all my bases except for the fact that it is two wheel drive and not four as in the hybrid 4. The ‘electric only’ range falls well short of the advertised “up to 40 miles”, but at between 22 and 29 miles it takes care of most of my daily journeys. It is impressively smooth and quiet yet responsive in both electric and petrol hybrid mode. The semi autonomous features are an amazingly simple and trustworthy ‘co pilot’ on motorways and dual carriageways, and the Focal hifi is a truly excellent companion whenever I’m in the car. An electrically adjusted driver’s seat with full massage function is superb for my knackered back and the suede and leather interior is another touch of warm enveloping luxury. I’m averaging 47 mpg according to the digital read out which I’m happy with.
A couple of people have said to me “Oh, you’ve gone from a BMW to a Peugeot” as though it’s a step down, but I have to say that I feel like I’ve really upgraded every time I get into it.
If there’s anything you want to know about this specific model of the new 3008, just ask and I’ll do my best to answer.
Cheers guys and gals.
