Peugeot's new crossover

Peugeot has launched what it calls a new 'crossover' based on the 308 platform.

The 3008 is a very smart derivative which blends styling and technology elements from the SUV, MPV and hatchback.

A traction control system is designed to give the 3008 off-road capability, with suitable tyres. It can be controlled from inside to deal with snow, med and wet grass, and sand.

Power options include the 1.6 VTi and THP engines developed in co-operation with the BMW Group and diesel 1.6 and 2.0 diesels.

The car will be available in some European markets from summer of this year.
