Peugeot is hoping to take a bigger slice of the UK’s booming crossover/SUV market with the new 3008, which is set to go on sale from November.
The second-generation 3008 features a more aggressive-looking SUV-like exterior, a larger boot, new safety and assistance technology and Peugeot’s latest i-Cockpit design.

Peugeot first previewed the new 3008’s exterior design with the Quartz concept at the 2014 Paris motor show and the concept’s muscular lines are evident in the production model. Although the first 3008 was little more than a raised MPV, this new version takes on a more muscular, SUV shape.
The new 3008 sits on the PSA Group’s EMP2 modular platform, which is said to have contributed to weight savings of up to 100kg compared with the old car. The dimensions make it roughly the same size as key rivals such as the Kia Sportage and Hyundai Tucson.

Haha at least I can change the HVAC controls without having to surf through a myriad of menus whilst taking my eyes off the road. Technology for technologys sake.

I had a C1 as a courtesy car (rather decent little car, better than I thought), and found the set up worked perfectly well. Is it the same as the setup in the 208/2008/308? I would suspect it would be different, as the C1/108 are tied with Toyota
