Peugeot 3008 review - Reliability & safety
“Peugeot customers are a happy bunch, and there’s also plenty of safety kit included as standard”
Peugeot’s effort appears to be paying off because the brand has elevated from an already-impressive ninth spot in our 2023 Driver Power survey to sixth out of 32 manufacturers in 2024. We’d prefer the share of owners with faults to be a bit lower than 20.8%, but this is still a way down on Tesla’s 37.9% of owners, despite the American brand coming second overall.
How safe is the Peugeot 3008?
We’re still waiting for the official Euro NCAP safety rating, but Peugeot has a good track record for making safe cars, and the 3008 is packed with lots of safety kit as standard.
All the features you’d expect are present and correct, from autonomous emergency braking that can spot pedestrians and cyclists as well as other vehicles, to Peugeot’s SOS & Assistance tech that can summon the emergency services in the event of an emergency.
What are the Peugeot 3008 service intervals?
Petrol hybrid versions of the Peugeot 3008 require servicing annually or every 16,000 miles, whichever comes first. For most drivers, that is likely to mean a trip to Peugeot every 12 months.
Interestingly, the 3008 Electric needs a first service after one year or 8,000 miles, but following this you’ll only need to visit the service department every two years or 16,000 miles.
What is the warranty on the Peugeot 3008?
Stick with a petrol hybrid Peugeot 3008 and there’s a standard three-year warranty, which looks rather stingy compared to rivals like Kia with seven years thrown in. Things change a bit if you get the Peugeot E-3008 though, because it qualifies for Peugeot’s new Allure Care warranty that can last for up to eight years/100,000 miles – so long as you stick with Peugeot servicing to keep reactivating it. The E-3008’s battery is also covered by an eight-year warranty.
