Peugeot 3008 Competitors Worthy of Mazda CX-5

The most complete experience with Peugeot 3008 – a worthy rival of Mazda CX-5

Hello friends. Today we are here again to explore another Peugeot model. And just if you look at the outside appearance of the car next to me, surely many of you will not be able to distinguish which is the Peugeot 3008 or the Peugeot 5008. That is a special point in the design of the new generation. of Peugeot cars in Vietnam.

And without making you wait long, now I would like to introduce to you a new Peugeot model called Peugeot 3008 and if you look at the exterior design of this car, surely everyone will see it. There are many similarities between the 3008 and the 5008 in design lines such as the front grille in the LED headlights and even in the body design. All of this creates a design homogeneity between these two models. However, there are small differences in the 3008 model so that we can easily distinguish these two models from each other, which is the first in the size of the 3008, which is a little smaller than the 5008 with two rows. seats and five seats only, besides the wheels of the 3008 car, although it also has an 18-inch type, it has a slightly different rim design from the 5008, besides, we can easily see that there are both The storage rack right on the roof of the car these are the differences of the 3008 model compared to the 5008.

Another difference in the 3008 model compared to the 5008 is in the C column position. At the C column position of the rear of this car, there is a slightly beveled cavity compared to the 5008, creating a feeling that it is a bit sporty and has something a little more eye-catching but this is only a very small difference and if someone pays attention, this will be noticed, otherwise it is difficult to distinguish the 2 models 3008 and 5008.

With the uniformity of the design language between the two models, the 2 and the 3008, you can see right here at the front of this car, the 5008 is still equipped with a large grille along with points. Chrome plated creates a very good highlight, besides, the lighting system is completely led, even this LED daytime running light is also designed as a break line, not a strong one, creating a sense of unity. Best. With both the design of the grille here and now we will go together to the back of the car to see the unique LED taillight design of this 3008 and 3008 series.

The impressive things that I want to tell you at the rear of this 3008 car is the position of the LED taillights designed with 3 such lines. The reason why there is such a strange design is because this is a design that represents the 3 claw marks of a lion when scratching when slapping. This seems to be something interesting, but it will create an impressive highlight for this car when looking at the rear and the thing I regret the most about this 3008 car is the fact that the rear trunk of the car is equipped with the system. open manually, not equipped with an electrical system like the 5008.

Although designed to open the hand, but in my personal opinion, it is not too heavy and can be. So we have finished viewing the entire exterior landscape of the Peugeot 3008 car and right now I and you go inside the interior of this car. With the new I-Cockpit design language, this 3008 car is equipped with a more compact and sporty steering wheel, besides, the trigger buttons just above the steering wheel are still adequate but However, it is a bit smaller, so the chrome and limited speed handle feature has been transferred to the left hand lever quite a bit hidden, but when controlling, there is nothing inconvenient.

Besides, with two numbered tiles behind the steering wheel, it will make increasing and decreasing gears on the road will be more convenient and can bring more excitement to the driver. Right behind the steering wheel, there is still a 12,3-inch screen with multi-information display and, of course, with the I-Cockpit language, this will be an electronic multi-information display with hand levers at the top. This helps us to adjust a lot and besides that in the center pedestal position is still an 8-inch touch screen and a variety of buttons and all these designs are similar to both 5008 and very convenient. It is convenient to use even the touch screen or the above shortcut buttons. Although it has the same I-Cockip design as the 5008, this 3008 car is positioned in a slightly lower cross-over segment. a bit with the price is also a bit cheaper than the 5008, so the number of options inside the interior of this car has been removed, for example, on this 3008 car, we will not have a standard wireless charging system. Q besides that, the speaker system in the car is also from 10 Focal speakers to only 6 regular speakers. That's in my opinion, these are the details of the cuts, although it sounds like a disadvantage for the car, but in fact, not many people will feel that it is lacking without these features.

Then and now we will try the 2nd row of seats to see how the seating position and amenities inside the 2nd row will be? As you can see, I am currently sitting on the second row of the 2 and my feeling now can be said in two words that is comfort. In a spacious legroom position, I can stretch like this and shrink the knee position is very wide, besides that, the design here is a bit hollow. It is very small, but it will create a subtlety when you put things here, it will not swell and it will not be superfluous.

With the 2nd row of seats, there are 3 sitting positions with 3 headrests if we sit 5 people can still sit comfortably and if we sit 2 people, this part will be lowered, we will have a custom pedestal of course. It looks a bit lacking for example there is no cup holder or something but I think that's not the point is that here and there the cup holders are designed to be hidden inside of the custom stand which is very subtle. .

Then it can be seen that it is comfortable, the ceiling is also very open enough to move far and not feel tired, I think the seats of this car are quite good, besides, the second row of seats With this vent, people can adjust the direction for their car to cool faster and have an additional USB charging port used to charge peripheral devices such as tablet phones. At this 2nd position, I had the opportunity to observe all the inside of the car's space with a wider viewing angle. I could notice that the panoramic panoramic sunroof above was very airy, besides, here when Looking up at the front, I noticed that on the edge of the door, there are led spreaders to make the interior lights quite eye-catching. These are things that are usually only seen in luxury cars but in a Peugeot model. 2 with a price of a little more than 1 billion 3008 can see these things can be a plus point for this car.

So we have explored the interior design and features of the car and now I will show you what it feels like to drive this car on the street. Now I will experience this Peugeot 3008 car with you on the street, but there is one point I will have to repeat a bit about the underground frame system of this car, which is a solid feeling when sitting on the road. car. Especially when we open and close the door you can hear the car close the door very tightly, hear the sound firmly and feel not as loose as some other assembled cars and that's enough and we'll start. test and run on the street of this Peugeot 3008. There is a point I will repeat a little more that this Peugeot 3008 car is equipped with electronic frequencies. All these features were found only in luxury cars and now we can see them in a car like the Peugeot 3008. This feature will bring comfort and convenience and also more luxury to the car. interior space of the vehicle.

Then and next to it, we can easily see that the interior space of this 3008 car is well insulated according to our noise meter, the noise level inside the car will fall between 72-76 decibels this level is considered acceptable and can be said to be better than some rival models in the same segment such as the CX-5. In a new generation model like the Peugeot 3008, of course the steering wheel of this car will be an electric power steering, but some people will worry that an electric power steering wheel will not be very hands-on. The feeling is a bit light when going in the street or on the road, but according to my personal assessment with this Peugeot 3008 model, the electric power steering of the car is very medium and still gives the feeling of walking in the street like Now and still enough to give a tight and firm feeling when I run on the road at that high speed and a little more, when running at a high speed of 80km/h or more, I start to hear the noise from under the tire to the top of the car. This Peugeot 3008 model is equipped with an electronic balance system.

That's why the feeling when cornering, on the car it is also more stable at normal speeds when traveling in the street, for example, currently going at about 35-40km/h. The feeling from the steering wheel to the driver's hand is very real, besides the fact that the chassis is shorter than the wheelbase is also a bit shorter, so this 3008 car also feels something more flexible than the model. car 5008. This is the point I evaluate the difference while operating between these two models. In general, these two models are quite similar because they have the same engine, a 2L THP engine with a capacity of 2cc and a torque of 1.6Nm.

Besides, both of these models are equipped with a 2-speed automatic transmission and a 6-speed automatic transmission on this 6, you can be completely assured of the smoothness of operation. It may be a bit too much, but when operating this car, I feel like I'm riding on a CBT car. There is almost no feeling when the car shifts gears. However, with these 3008 steering wheel gears right here, I can completely accelerate by reducing the active gear right on the steering wheel. There will be a feeling that the traction of the car is stronger. Talking a little more about the Turbo engine of this Peugeot 2 car is about the insignificant engine delay, which can be said to be negligible when I step on the accelerator and can quickly feel the pull. of the car, the curve of the car increases dramatically and the traction will feel a bit jerky backwards due to the acceleration of the car.

And there is one more thing that the 1 and 3008 have, which is the Boost mode through holding a button here. When I hold the sport button on the center console here, at the same time, the light will light up to signal that it has been activated and right on the screen behind the steering wheel will also show an additional letter S next to the gear level. Mine is currently on 5008S, it says that the car is going into sport mode, now you can easily feel that the accelerator is more sensitive, you can hear the exhaust sound coming into the car a lot. People will doubt that why a 1L engine has such a powerful exhaust sound coming into the car, I will also repeat a bit that the 2's 1.6-speaker system will simulate the sound of the exhaust. The exhaust pipe creates a more exciting feeling for the occupants of the car. Even when I brake to slow down, there is a return from the exhaust like a real sports car, but it's all a simulation. Part of it will also bring excitement to the driver.

Although this Peugeot 3008 car has the same segment as other models on the market such as Mazda CX-5, KIA Surrento, but the safety technologies equipped on this car, I rate it as quite high. and very fully equipped compared to some models in the same segment.

For example, on this 3008 car we will have a lane warning system and lane support for the driver besides, right above the steering wheel will have a camera whose job is to read the signs. Traffic alert on the road and will warn the speed right on the lots of the steering wheel to help the car avoid situations that violate traffic laws in a very unreasonable way. There. In addition, on both sides of the car door are 2 rearview mirrors that are also integrated with a blind spot warning system through yellow signals right on the mirror. These are also active safety points that are very valuable for this car. Another interesting thing about this Prugeot 2 car, although in a segment slightly lower than the 3008, this model is still equipped with Grip Control system with 1 driving modes including normal driving mode, point driving mode. Disadvantage of mud driving mode and sand driving mode. Well, let's briefly say this, the Grip Control system will use the wheel sensors to determine the wheel's slip on the road and will intervene with the brake or with the tissue system. -Torque in the car's front undercarriage to make the car more maneuverable to get out of more difficult overtaking roads.

That said, it seems a bit confusing right now we will go out into a bad road area a bit so we can test the steering feel of this Grip Contol system.

As you can see, I am currently walking on a very bad and bumpy dirt road and a lot of sand, so the grip is a bit poor in general, I can see this Peugeot 3008 car pass. Pretty easy even though I haven't switched to Grip Control modes yet. It can be assessed like this that Grip Control's underground frame system and suspension system work quite firmly and compactly. If traveling in the street or on a long road, it gives a good sense of stability in the car, but when traveling on such bad roads, it does not bring fatigue to the occupants.

I give this system a good rating. Besides that, with the condition that the sky was getting darker and darker and the car's lights were automatically turned on, I discovered that this car can light up in my direction of steering, that is, drive to the left. The led light system will be activated one more light to illuminate the left side and when I turn the steering wheel to the right, the led system in the right position is also activated one more light on the right side to increase the projection. Brightness and better visibility when we make a turn.

That's it, and now we're only a few hundred yards away from entering an open field and off-grass players often practice here. And we will test this 3008's Grip Control here. And then we are in the off-grass area of ​​many enthusiasts of this sport such as locusts and pickups, but this car will not play heavyweights like a pickup however. To a certain extent I think this car performs and when I switch to another mode on the Grip Control lever on the sand mode. There.

Being able to immediately notice the difference when the wheels slide on the sand of the steering wheel is also somewhat easier to control than when I run in normal mode on the road so the car creates The feeling is that there is more grip on the road, but there is also one more function of this Peugeot 3008 that is quite interesting, which is downhill support and downhill support. Support downhill, when activating this feature, the car will always keep the speed at about 5-10km/h depending on how flat the road is or depending on how steep the slope is now. We just need to focus on controlling the steering wheel, and the brakes will have the APS system and even the engine's brakes, which is very convenient when we have to overcome big slopes. In general, Peugeot 3008 is a versatile, dynamic cross-over model that can be used on the street, can be used on the road and can still support us when going through bad roads and I highly appreciate the model. This is because of its flexibility.

There is also something more to say when traveling on bad roads with a Peugeot 3008 car, that is the lag of this model's underground light reaching 165mm and that's my assessment range with slightly bad roads. then this car can completely pass. So we have just finished experiencing this Peugeot 3008 model and in my personal opinion, this is the car with the most advantages in the current segment, for example, in terms of beautiful design in terms of space. The comfortable interior of active safety equipment is very adequate, besides the driving feeling is very sporty, but also not forgetting the comfort part and with a price of more than 1 billion 2, the Peugeot car This 3008 is somewhat higher than other models in the same segment, but the tools say that it is expensive and the Peugeot 3008 is a typical example of this saying.

And our current Peugeot 3008 sampling program will end here. See you in another show with another model of our car. Please don't forget to share Tinxe. Good bye and see you again.
