Peugeot 3008 review - Boot space, practicality & dimensions
“It might have the roofline of a coupe, but this slope is far enough back to ensure the 3008 still has plenty of space”
It might have a sloped roof, but this doesn’t appear to have impacted interior space much at all. Both front and rear passengers should find they have enough space. There’s also a good amount of stowage bins and storage places for your wallet, drinks and snacks, so Peugeot has clearly thought hard about how families will use the 3008.

Nissan Qashqai | 4,425mm | 1,835mm | 1,625mm |

Does the Peugeot 3008 have a big boot?
Coming in at 588 litres, the 3008’s boot stacks up rather well against rivals, easily trumping the 504 litres of the Nissan Qashqai. It’s slightly behind the Hyundai Tucson Hybrid’s 616 litres of space, although the Tucson mild-hybrid can only manage 503 litres. The Renault Symbioz’s 492 litre boot seems small in this company, but the rear bench is on sliders, so pushing it forwards frees up a maximum of 624 litres – so long as your passengers don’t mind.
Fold the seats down in the Peugeot 3008 and space increases to 1,653 litres, which should be more than enough room for taking the kids to uni or the tip run. Again, the Peugeot is up on the Nissan Qashqai here, which can manage just over 1,400 litres.

Is the Peugeot 3008 a good tow car?
The 3008 is a somewhat mediocre tow car, that should be adequate for anyone looking to haul a small trailer or caravan, but can’t compete with some rivals like the Volkswagen Tiguan when it comes to heavier loads. The Hybrid can tow 1,000kg, or up to 1,200kg with the factory-fitted tow bar installed. This goes up to a respectable 1,550kg for the Plug-in Hybrid, while the electric 3008 can haul around 1,200kg.
