CANBERRA: Peugeot has unveiled its new five-seat 3008 small SUV in Australia with two different models including 3008 Active petrol auto and 3008 Active diesel auto. The prices of both the models will be $35,990 and $38,990.
Revealed in late 2013, the 3008’s updates bring refreshed looks to the seven year-old SUV, along with new features and a more streamlined range.
On the styling front, the 2015 3008 gets a revised grille design and new stepped headlights, with both tweaks inspired by Peugeot’s newest models.
There’s also new bumpers at both ends, while lightly updated tail-lamps round out the exterior updates.
POWERTRAINS
Two engine options are offered with the 2015 3008: a 1.6 litre turbo petrol and a 2.0 litre turbo diesel.
As before, the carry-over 1.6 four-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine lists outputs at 115kW and 240Nm.
Power with the 2.0 litre four-cylinder turbocharged diesel sees outputs climb to 120kW and 340Nm.
Both engines are matched to a six-speed auto transmission, with fuel use listed at 7.7 l/100km for the petrol unit and 6.6 l/100km for the diesel.
