Peugeot\u2019s third-gen 2025 PEUGEOT 3008<\/strong><\/a> lands in Australia with coupe-SUV curves, a 21-inch wrap-around i-Cockpit screen and a new 48-volt mild-hybrid powertrain (100 kW\/230 Nm) that finally gives the Gallic family wagon Toyota-style efficiency without losing its baguette-flavoured charm. Built on Stellantis\u2019 STLA Medium platform, the fast-backed 3008<\/strong><\/a> blends French flair with the pragmatic stuff Aussie buyers care about: 520-litre boot, five-year unlimited-kilometre warranty and service intervals of 12 months\/15,000 km.<\/p>\n

Pros and Cons<\/h2>\n

Pros<\/strong>: classy cabin ambience, whisper-quiet mild-hybrid drivetrain, genuinely low fuel use (as little as 5 L\/100 km on our mixed loop), and that giant curved screen that makes lesser SUVs feel pre-smartphone.<\/p>\n

Cons<\/strong>: second-row knee-room is still French-caf\u00e9-table small, there is no rear wiper, and at seventy-plus grand for the GT Premium you will feel every croissant crumble in your wallet.<\/p>\n

How Much Does It Cost?<\/h2>\n

Peugeot lists the 3008 Allure Hybrid<\/strong><\/a> at $52,990 plus on-roads<\/strong>, or $55,990 drive-away<\/strong> on a national deal until 30 September 2025. Step up to the GT Premium Hybrid<\/strong><\/a> and you are staring at about $70,000-$72,000<\/strong>\u00a0on the road; the upcoming e-3008 EV will nudge that higher again. Pricing puts the Frenchie above Kia Sportage Hybrid<\/strong><\/a> but under slick-roof euro posers like the BMW X2<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Features and Benefits<\/h2>\n

Standard kit is generous: matrix LED headlights, power tailgate, panoramic sunroof, wireless Android Auto\/Apple CarPlay and Peugeot\u2019s quirky i-Toggles shortcut bar. The 1.2-litre three-pot hybrid is teamed with a seven-speed dual-clutch that slips between electric creeping and turbo punch without the CVT flare you hear in a RAV4<\/strong><\/a>. Claimed combined fuel burn sits between 1.6-7.3 L\/100 km<\/strong> depending on route and driver lead-foot, thanks to the 48-volt battery that lets the 3008<\/strong><\/a> sail up to 30 km\/h on electrons alone.<\/p>\n

Safety<\/h2>\n

ANCAP has yet to publish a 2025 score, but Euro-NCAP data shows strong adult (82%) and child (85%) protection, underpinned by eight airbags, AEB with pedestrian and cyclist detection, junction assist, adaptive cruise with lane-centering and a 360-degree camera. The tech feels polished; lane-keep is confident on coarse-chip highways, and the blind-spot cameras pop real-time feeds into that mega screen so you actually use them.<\/p>\n

Running Costs<\/h2>\n

Peugeot backs the drivetrain with five-year unlimited-kilometre warranty and offers pre-paid servicing from about $1,900 for three years<\/strong>. On our week-long test the hybrid drank 5.3 L\/100 km of 95-octane, matching Toyota figures while sounding far sweeter under load. Insurance quotes hover around the $1,200 mark for a metro 40-year-old driver, about 10% above a Tucson Hybrid<\/strong><\/a> but below an Audi Q3<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Comparison To Its Competitors<\/h2>\n

Versus a Toyota RAV4 Hybrid<\/strong><\/a>, the 2025 PEUGEOT 3008<\/strong><\/a> feels boutique: softer leather, slicker graphics, quieter cabin. The Kia Sportage Hybrid<\/strong><\/a> undercuts it by thousands but cannot match the French car\u2019s interior theatre. Mazda CX-5<\/a> G40e<\/strong> offers six cylinders for similar money yet gulps 9 L\/100 km. The Volkswagen Tiguan<\/a> eHybrid<\/strong> is closer in presentation, but local launch timing remains hazy. If you crave style without German badge-tax, and can live with a smaller rear seat, the 3008<\/strong><\/a> is the left-field pick that finally nails efficiency.<\/p>\n
