PEUGEOT SUV 3008 HYBRID – AED 180,000

The 3008 Peugeot hybrid model is a combination of electric engine and combustion engine. A 2 in 1 setup which helps you take advantage of the trending electric engine technology but at the same time you have the classic combustion engine to keep you rolling on a long day. It’s mixed emotion after driving this model for a few days. There is only one version of the 3008 Hybrid model available to purchase which comes with an 18″ inch alloy wheel, the front lights are full LED headlights, with an interesting cut grille. You enjoy premium sound from FOCAL Hi-Fi system. Exclusive red leather seats, coupled with massage-function. The 3D digital instrument cluster is a nice one. Easy to use and the driver can quickly change to pre-defined virtual instrument panels with a press of a button on the steering wheel. There is also a 10″ touch screen in the center for better use and of course you can integrate with your mobile phone which is Apple CarPlay or Android Auto

We love the design of the SUV, be it the interior or the exterior. I think the latest exterior gives it a closer look to their logo. The interiors of the Peugeot 3008 Hybrid has been even more impressive. Starting with it’s red leather and wooden trim found around the interior, along with metal finished borders gives the vehicle an elegant look on the inside. The eye catching feature would be the long stretch of convenient switches, as if you were in inside an aeroplanes cockpit. The control switches also tilted towards the driver which makes it convenient to reach them. The sound quality inside the vehicle has been very satisfying, honestly we haven’t found this brand in a car before, but we could enjoy good music with these premium speakers from FOCAL Hi-Fi system.

The red nappa leather seats makes a striking impression with it’s design, color and creates a nice contrast inside the vehicle, coupled with massage-function you enjoy the seats very much. The seats also have the expected 6 way electronic adjustment and the interesting part were the massage functionality for the front seats. So you could have different types of massage for different areas on your back, be it shoulders, lumbar etc.

The new SUV 3008 HYBRID comes with a host of driving aids such as Lane Positioning Assist, Blindspot Detector, High Beam Assist and more. One of the safety features that instantly caught my attention while driving was how the SUV would pull back to the same lane, if the car was drifting away from the straight line without using any indicator. so if you’ve got the habit of changing lanes without using indicator then you need to watch out, as the steering wheel automatically pushes you back into the current driving lane.

SUV 3008 HYBRID comes equipped with an internal engine and an electric motor, which gives the vehicle, a combined power of up to 300 HP but that said it doesn’t accelerate like a power horse. Your feet goes really deep in while you press to accelerate. The engines are more suitable for a comfortable drive than a sporty one. You have 2 sides to the car. One side is for electric charging and the other is to refuel.
