NEW PEUGEOT 3008 SUV

ADVANCED GRIP & HILL ASSIST DESCENT CONTROL

Linked to the Efficient Automatic Transmission (EAT6) with Quickshift Technology, this stylish gearbox control along with its ergonomic design complements the PEUGEOT i-Cockpit®. Trimmed with full-grain leather, satin chrome, and piano black materials, this compact gearbox control even helps to free up space within the cabin.

Operation is intuitive and smooth. For the more exuberant driver, a manual driving mode is also available—a simple press of the 'M' button located on the control gives full access to the steering column mounted paddles.

ADVANCED GRIP CONTROL

To allow you to take on a variety of weather and terrains, the all-new Peugeot 3008 SUV can be specified with Advanced Grip Control®, a system designed to optimise traction in low-grip conditions. It adapts to the terrain by acting on the front wheels, in doing so this saves the weight normally associated with a more conventional four wheel drive system.

Advanced Grip Control® offers the driver a choice of five driving modes, accessed via a rotary dial on the centre console. Advanced Grip Control® is optional across the new Peugeot 3008 SUV range.

In addition, the system also incorporates a new Hill Assist Descent Control (HADC)—this optimizes vehicle control on steep slopes. When descending a slope with a gradient of more than 5% and with vehicle speed below 30kph, the system will work to reduce the risk of slipping. During a descent the system maintains speed and brake control; allowing the driver to concentrate on the vehicles path of travel during the maneuver.

A clever feature incorporated within the Hill Assist Descent Control system is our unique 'Clutch Mode' security function. Selecting this function for very steep slopes regulates the vehicle speed to 3kph, this allows the vehicle to creep down a steep slope in a completely controlled manner.

MIRROR SCREEN®

Allows the mirroring of a compatible smartphone screen to access the key functionality on the handset. Once paired functions are displayed on the 8.0" capacitive colour touchscreen. Peugeot Mirror Screen® uses the following systems:

Apple CarPlay® – Just plug in your iPhone to make calls, send and receive messages, listen to music, and get directions. Functions can either be controlled via the touchscreen or Siri voice control.
MirrorLink® – Offering similar functionality to CarPlay®, MirrorLink® allows the seamless pairing of a compatible Android phone to access navigation, music, and phone apps.

180 DEGREE REVERSING CAMERA

A camera located on the rear of the vehicle is linked to the 8.0” capacitive colour touchscreen. Offering increased visibility when reversing, with a selection of views to choose from, you'll never look back:

Rear Grid View: a clear view of obstructions to the rear of the vehicle coupled with grid lines oriented to the positioning of the steering wheel, offering perspective for distances of one and two meters respectively from the rear bumper.
180° View: Divides the screen into three zones, offering a clear view of vehicles approaching from the side. Perfect for safely reversing out of parking spaces.
Overhead View: the camera records the surroundings during a manoeuvre to reconstitute an overhead rear view of the vehicle in its immediate environment, making it easier to manoeuvre between surrounding obstacles.

LED TECHNOLOGY

The all-new Peugeot 3008 SUV has elegant headlights with black and chrome trim, which further emphasise the new SUV's modern, feline look. These headlights incorporate LED daytime running lights and a shutter in the light clusters for full LED definition.

The 3D-effect LED claw lights at the rear of the vehicle make an instant impact. These lights are visible by day and at night and give the all-new Peugeot 3008 SUV its powerful identity and impressive presence on the road.

The benefits of LED technology:

Consumes considerably less energy to produce light, 50% less than halogen and 35% less than xenon technologies.
Offers a whiter light for improved visibility at night, the light is also more similar to daylight, leading to reduced driver eye fatigue, improving safety.
Requires no warm up time with instantaneous lighting response when compared to conventional halogen technologies.
LED technology will last for the life of the car, compared to halogen technology with much shorter life expectancy.
