Here the materials are of excellent quality.
The French crossover Peugeot 3008 and looks unusual and memorizing, and even the interior of this car is a real space. It’s amazing how generally managed to develop this architecture and bring it to life and not to spoil any bad materials.
Crossover Peugeot 3008 (courtesy of the official dealer of the “Moon Car”) is the older twin brother the Peugeot 5008 with the same aggregate base, but that is longer than 20 centimeters. Our 3008-th length is 4447 mm, this size car competes with the Volkswagen Tiguan, Forg Kuga and Mazda CX-5, which is slightly larger.
The exterior of Peugeot 3008 is the latest generation of the company. Fresh grille, massive bumper, hook their fangs led optics, a heavy faceted hood. Fog lights are located high enough – will be less contaminated.
Profile pierces wavy drip line, accented by bold chrome. Generally there’s a lot of gloss – banding of Windows on top of the abundance of its chrome plating reminiscent of a Maybach. Back front decorated black gloss – creates the effect of a floating roof.
The back simple and stylish led lights, reminiscent of their three elements of the “Ford Mustang”. A heavy piece of chromed metal on the bumper and dual exhaust pipes complete the rich, sporty look.
Most importantly, what makes this car among dozens of other new products is, of course, the interior. In my personal ranking it’s interior No. 1 among all cars in recent years. Primarily for architecture – quality materials, of course, the Mercedes is in the lead.
But here, the materials of excellent quality. The upper part of the front panel and door is soft close to the rubber plastic. The second tier is decorated pleasant to the touch fabric, and over a large area.
In the dark these areas are effectively illuminated, it creates a sense of comfort – a sort of IKEA on wheels.
In finishing with a lot of polished metal. Steel lines to effectively frame the centre console and create a sporty cockpit for the driver.
And what about this a number of shortcut buttons in the menu of multimedia. Real Grand piano keyboard with white and black keys. Use the buttons convenient, is clear.
Most car steering wheel standard size, but not in the Peugeot. He has a reduced diameter, two spokes and two slant – top and bottom. Subsequently, it will be found that taxiing with the wheel is good. And its appearance, resembling a wheel of the aircraft, pushing for more driverscom driving. Unfortunately, there is no heating and the skin stiff, no soft substrate underneath.
Large screen multimedia system, pleasing color, lots of options car, a good sensor response. However, in the transition from a fundamentally different sections of the menu have a little pause. The climate is fully configurable via this screen, the physical buttons no. But everything works well and quickly, the cold doesn’t freeze.
Good sounding native speakers; maybe bass lacks depth and velvety. And at high volume the MIDs begin to sound incorrect.
Digital dashboard perfectly conceived and executed. After this do not understand how to go with the physical devices and the small screen in the middle. Here, smooth animations, and customization of appearance, and the output of the navigation map, and a bunch of tips, service icons (see video). Feature landing of the steering wheel and its smaller diameter is such that looking at her over the rim of the steering wheel.
Chairs are genuine leather and not a substitute, according to the manufacturer. The material is really nice, and a diamond-shaped relief seat – another step towards originality and memorability. There are electrically adjustable seats, powerful lateral support of the seat cushion. But the backrest support is rather weak.
In General, the Peugeot 3008 a lot of subtle decisions that bring the car to premium. You can refresh the salon three types of perfume – in the cabin is really a whiff of perfume. However, all three almost identical, with a predominance of floral sweet tones.
The washer fluid on the glass is not supplied through the normal injectors, and through the wipers – is there a Mercedes S-class. Or here’s a big Central box with a bright light and cooling – you can store drinks.
In the “Sports” sound system imitates the sound of a sports exhaust – so loud and cheerfully (see video).
But rear passengers a little deprived. No, the space everything is in order, head over to the stock seat with a fist. But there is no seat heating, and the materials of the doors and the Central tunnel hard. Your climate either.
The boot capacity of 520 litres, has a comfortable floor latches in the raised position. Available hooks, lights, and niches for small things. Spare tire – stowaway.
Baggage door is motorized and the virtual pedal open/close it with a wave of your foot under the bumper.
Under the hood the 1.6-liter “beamberry” turbo engine, 150 HP it Works in tandem with the Japanese machine. Drive – only the front.
Disperse hundreds – 8.9 seconds. At the start there is a kind of hesitation, just a fraction of a second, no reaction to pressing the gas pedal. And it’s not in the machine, and a bunch of pedals and engine. On-the-go, this issue disappears, the reaction on the pedal is adequate, including with kick-down.
But automatic under hard acceleration sometimes confused, first enters into a higher, and then falls two steps down. Some switch boxes respond to small shocks, but in General everything is dynamic and comfortable, and the sound of the exhaust gives emotions dynamic overclocking.
Insulation is done well, the buzz of new Hankook tire well is cut off by the arches. There is a small background from the trunk and air flow.
Little bagel informative works in conjunction with carefully tuned steering. Yes it even just to turn easier, faster and more accurate turns. Clear zero, increasing severity, a good reaction – well, maybe spun the wheel back a little slower than I would like.
Coupled with minimal roll and collected suspension to maneuver and write circles on the Peugeot 3008 is a pleasure. Stabilization of this slide intervene in the management and aligns the car’s course. Even with stabilization disabled to enter the rear axle in a skid on snow goes a long way – we got a steady and controlled crossover.
Energy-intensive suspension allows you to go fast over rough terrain, although some swaying is still there. On small comb, unpeeled asphalt all defects exemplary filtered and remain far away in the form of small tremors.
In this peredneprivodnogo car has the washer choice driving modes on the road – “Snow”, “Sand”, “Dirt”. The system simulates mikolasko lock and allows you to work both wheels.
The first two modes did not really help me when trying to climb the snow-capped shaft, but with the inclusion of “Dirt” I felt the change in thrust, there are jerks and wheels with intermittent slippage pull the car forward. Not recommended for off-road.
