French automaker Peugeot has unveiled its new 3008 compact and spacious crossover which will make its world debut at the Geneva Auto Show in March.

The 3008 has strong resemblances to the Prologue concept shown at the Paris auto show last October.

The 3008 is positioned at the crossroads between several existing vehicles: the SUV, the MPV and hatchback, and will compete against cars such as the Volkswagen Tiguan, Ford Kuga and Nissan Qashqai.

Peugeot showed the 3008 to journalists at an event in Paris.

The car included luxury options such as a dashboard-mounted satellite navigation system and a panoramic glass roof.

The car derives its strengths from this blend of motoring concepts while at the same adopting a number of new and original technologies (Dynamic Roll Control, Grip Control, etc) enabling it to combine specifi cations often deemed incompatible (driving pleasure inside a “tall” vehicle, improved traction while at the same time being eco-friendly, etc).

Through its non-conformist approach and its resolute styling, the 3008, designed as a pioneering vehicle, offers an original solution and optimal versatility to customers in search of modernity, practicality and driving pleasure.

Protective, versatile and status-enhancing, the Peugeot 3008, a crossover in all respects, opens up new motoring horizons.
