The 2021 Peugeot 3008 1.2 PureTech in Active Premium specification demonstrates why Peugeot's mid-size SUV continues to capture attention in an increasingly competitive segment. With a design that walks the line between elegance and boldness, the 3008 offers an enticing mix of style, practicality, and value. Even in its more accessible Active Premium trim, this SUV feels far from entry-level., Under the bonnet sits Peugeot?s award-winning 1.2-liter PureTech three-cylinder petrol engine, delivering 130 horsepower to the front wheels via a slick 6-speed manual gearbox. It?s a powertrain that punches above its weight, with the turbocharged engine offering lively performance and impressive efficiency. Around town, it?s smooth and quiet, while on the open road, it has enough grunt to keep pace comfortably. The manual gearbox, a rarity in many SUVs today, adds an engaging touch for those who still relish the art of shifting gears., Inside, the 3008 continues to impress. The Active Premium trim includes Peugeot?s signature i-Cockpit, featuring a compact steering wheel, a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, and an 8-inch central touchscreen. Soft-touch materials and a tasteful design elevate the cabin?s appeal, while features like dual-zone climate control, rear parking sensors, and smartphone integration (via Apple CarPlay and Android Auto) ensure a thoroughly modern driving experience. The supportive seats and clever use of space further enhance comfort for both driver and passengers., On the road, the 3008 is composed and comfortable, with suspension tuned to soak up rough surfaces while maintaining enough sharpness to inspire confidence through corners. Steering is light but precise, making it well-suited for urban driving and long motorway cruises. The 1.2 PureTech engine?s refinement and the car?s well-insulated cabin contribute to an overall sense of serenity., The 2021 Peugeot 3008 in Active Premium specification might sit lower in the trim hierarchy, but it doesn?t compromise on Peugeot?s winning formula of style, substance, and an enjoyable driving experience.
