Al Majdouie Motors, the exclusive Peugeot distributor in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, unveils the all-new Peugeot 3008 during the first day of the Jeddah International Motor Show 2024. The All-New PEUGEOT takes the creativity of its design and the driving pleasure to a whole new level:
- ALLURE of a fastback SUV with a reinvented and efficient design.
- EMOTION produced by the next-gen PEUGEOT Panoramic i-Cockpit®, which takes driving pleasure to a whole new level.
As a flagship of the French automotive industry, PEUGEOT continues to elevate the French legacy by seamlessly blending world-class sophistication with cutting-edge innovation, embodying the essence of French craftsmanship in every detail. The PEUGEOT 3008 has become a best-seller, enchanting over 1,320,000 customers across 130 countries in the past seven years.
The PEUGEOT 3008 is the first model to utilize Stellantis’ brand-new STLA Medium platform, designed to deliver optimal performance and efficiency for internal combustion engine (ICE) models. This groundbreaking platform represents a significant advancement for the PEUGEOT brand.
The next-generation PEUGEOT 3008 will be produced exclusively at the Sochaux plant in France and is set to be available in the GCC by the end of 2024. The lineup will feature two trim levels, Allure and GT, offering a choice of 180-horsepower ICE engine.
LINDA JACKSON, CEO OF PEUGEOT, stated: “The launch of the next-generation 3008 marks a significant milestone in PEUGEOT’s transformative journey toward becoming an enticing brand that redefines standards for design, driving pleasure, and efficiency. With its striking exterior design, remarkable PEUGEOT Panoramic i-Cockpit®, and exceptional performance, the next-generation of 3008 signals a new era for PEUGEOT as the French brand offering the most extensive range of mainstream electric vehicles in the market.”
Commenting on the debut, Mohamed Hassan, Managing Director of Al Majdouie Motors, said: Proud to officially debut PEUGEOT 3008 at the Jeddah International Motor Show 2024. The debut of PEUGEOT 3008 reflects the essence of French craftsmanship in every detail, from its world-class sophistication to cutting-edge innovation and comfort. The All-New PEUGEOT 3008 sets new benchmark standards in design, performance, and efficiency in its segment, promising an elevated driving experience.
As we continue to expand our presence in the Kingdom, the reveal of the PEUGEOT 3008 reaffirms Al Majdouie’s commitment to delivering innovative and sustainable solutions that actively contribute to the Kingdom’s Vision 2030. Our participation in this prestigious event underscores our dedication to driving innovation in the automotive industry, advancing the Kingdom’s journey towards a greener and more sustainable future”
The new 3008 is recognisable by its fastback SUV styling. With its dynamic and aerodynamic shape, the new 3008 combines elegance, efficiency, and spaciousness. The vibrancy of the new 3008’s feline lines also stems from the vehicle’s well-balanced dimensions (length: 4.54m, width: 1.89m, height: 1.64m), making it one of the most compact in its class without compromising passenger and luggage space.
The ultra-compact high-intensity headlamps are housed in a slim, elegant strip that sits above the radiator grille and wraps around the entire front end, giving the new 3008 a particularly piercing look, asserting its modernity and personality.
In terms of exterior finish, the 3008 personifies a new, more modern, and more durable approach. Chrome parts have been removed in favour of lacquered parts: Meteor Grey on the front apron and rear bumper, Orbital Black on the mirror caps and lower beltline. PEUGEOT has equipped the new 3008 with 19-inch wheels, with their technical and geometric design, featuring the new PEUGEOT emblem at their centre.
The new 3008 is available in a range of six colours: Obsession Blue, Ingaro Blue, Okenite White, Pearl Black, Artense Grey, and Titanium Grey.
The cabin of the new 3008 offers passengers a relaxing experience, in a generous and bright interior for optimum passenger comfort and ample rear space. The new front seats – a combination of leather-effect and fabric on Allure and leather-effect and Alcantara on GT – provide exceptional comfort.
Positioned for optimum ergonomics is the floating, curved 21-inch HD panoramic screen that combines the head-up display with the central touchscreen. This panoramic screen floats above the dashboard and is slightly curved towards the driver for optimal driver-centricity while remaining perfectly accessible to the passenger.
On the Allure version of the 3008, the new PEUGEOT i-Cockpit® is made up of two standard 10-inch digital screens integrated into a single panel in the panoramic display, giving the same floating effect as the 21-inch panel. The GT is fitted as standard with a floating curved panoramic 21-inch screen. Additionally, the cabin’s strong appeal and technological character are enhanced by the ambient LED lighting, which can be customised in 8 different colours. The 3008 GT comes as standard with PEUGEOT’s new Pixel LED technology, which automatically adapts the headlamp beam to traffic conditions, maintaining optimum lighting without disturbing other road users.
The passenger compartment of the new 3008 offers 17 different storage spaces, with a total volume of around 34 litres: easily accessible wireless phone charging on the centre console (standard on GT only), cooled storage space under the central armrest, a glasses holder on the roof console, cup holders and glove compartment. The driver can choose between three driving modes, Normal Mode, Eco Mode, and Sport Mode, to enable the 3008’s performance to be ideally adapted to the driver’s wishes and/or traffic conditions.
The 3008 features the latest PEUGEOT active safety technologies, including Automatic emergency braking with collision warning, active lane departure warning with lane departure correction, long-range blind spot monitoring (up to 75 metres), adaptive cruise control with stop & go function, and advanced traction control. It is fitted as standard with a rear camera offering the driver two angles: a rear view or bird’s eye view, equipped with a cleaning nozzle to maintain a perfect image in all conditions.
As an option, the new 3008 GT is fitted with the PEUGEOT VisioPark 360° system, which, thanks to 4 cameras positioned as close as possible to the front and rear wheels and 12 sensors spread around the car, offers 360° vision of the environment.
The PEUGEOT 3008 takes driving pleasure and optimum performance to a whole new level. It will be available in the GCC by the end of 2024. For more information, please visit the link here.
