Peugeot 3008, the technological breakthrough of the French Leo – Il Sole 24 Ore

PARIS – A Peugeot so had never seen. The new 3008 is not only the second generation of the crossover of the French company, but much more: it indicates a technological breakthrough of the Lion brand, starting from the inside.

First, because the 3008 debuts the new i -Cockpit, introduced by 208 and now evolved to become a real hi-tech environment. That’s why entering the new 3008 is like running into another world, that of originality and quality, which in addition to the height of the German brand in addition offers an ease of use that is in some cases a lot of the solutions put forward by the limit premium brand. The big “touch screen” 8-inch is, in fact, a tablet placed at the center of the dashboard, which is also supplied with the capacitive technology to improve responsiveness. There are, then, you are “toggle switch” keys for more direct access to all major functions. And again, the instrument panel in a raised position has a digital screen high-resolution 12 “3.

In order to deliver an unprecedented driving, the new 3008 is also equipped with starvation i-cockpit Amplify , a system that allows you to adjust the room lighting, the diffuser board fragrances, the audio system management and optional massage system and seat adjustment, thus choosing the most suitable environment to your mood . At the same time it is provided, with the Sport Pack, the possibility of also obtaining a more prompt response to the commands, thanks to the “step” modified steering, accelerator and automatic transmission, a solution that enhances the sound of the engine.

We come to the style. Longer than 8 centimeters, but much more aerodynamic, in addition to weigh 100 pounds less, the new 3008 has a major front and a raised belt line, in addition to a relationship between sheet metal surfaces and much more homogeneous glass windows, all in order to lighten the profile. The novelties continue in the back, which has a sharper design, but very modern. Under the sloping rear window, a shiny black horizontal band incorporates the lights in opalescent led, with the three “claws”, a “visual” signature of all the latest Peugeot.

Belonging to the suv is guaranteed by ‘Advanced grip Control, the enhanced traction system “made in Peugeot” with five modes of grip – Normal, Snow, Mud, Sand, Esp Off – activated by a selector placed on the center console with the addition of specific tires from 18′ ‘All Seasons M + S Mud & amp; Snow, useful when traction is difficult.

The selection of the launch engines from mid-October includes the Puretech petrol units and the diesel BlueHDi: in detail the Puretech 1,200 cc 130 hp with manual or automatic transmission and 1,600 cc 165 hp Thp with automatic transmission for petrol. As for diesel, there will be a 1,600 cc BlueHDi 100 and 120 hp also automatic and 2,000 cc BlueHDi 150 hp 180 hp manual and automatic. But Peugeot did not want to deny themselves nothing for 3008 and will also offer an electric scooter, e-Kick, to be placed in the trunk. In short, everything and more affordable than 2 thousand Euros more than the model it will replace.
