This… is the 2017 Peugeot 3008 1.6 BlueHDi Allure—the car that proved Peugeot could build an SUV that’s actually good-looking, comfortable, and clever all at the same time. It’s not just a people carrier in chunky shoes—it’s a proper, stylish family car. Under the bonnet is a 1.6-litre BlueHDi diesel with 120 bhp, good for 0–60 in around 11 seconds and a top speed of 115 mph. But here’s the real party trick—it’ll do 65 mpg combined, which means you could drive from London to Edinburgh on less fuel than it takes to run a Range Rover for a week. Insurance? Group 20, so your premiums won’t send you into shock. ULEZ? Yes—it’s Euro 6 diesel, so it sails straight through without Boris (or whoever’s in charge this week) taking your money. When new, this Peugeot would have cost around £25,000, and the Allure trim means it’s loaded with goodies—sat nav, reversing camera, Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, ambient lighting, dual-zone climate control, keyless start, and those gorgeous i-Cockpit dials that make you feel like you’re driving something futuristic. Mechanically? This example has been looked after with services at 33,131, 41,916, 52,218, 66,229 miles—and to keep it tip-top, we’ll service it again before it leaves us. The 3008 is a family SUV that feels a bit more special than the rest—it’s got style, it’s cheap to run, it’s comfortable, and it makes a Nissan Qashqai look like a bit of a dinosaur.
