The Peugeot 3008 was recently crowned European Car of the Year 2017 so is it a worthy winner asks Hannah Gordon What is it? The Peugeot 3008 is a mid sized cross over with plenty of new tech, it even won European Car of the Year in 2017 so I am expecting great things.   Who is it aimed at?

As if the exterior styling wasn’t enough to entice you into buying the 3008 the interior style will surely have you signing on the dotted line. Peugeot have created i-Cockpit which aims to bring together technology to help the driver and make the driving experience more enjoyable. The cockpit contains a 12.3” head up digital display, 8” centre console touch screen and a multi function steering wheel which are all connected and enable you to specify many functions and personalisation.
