The current-generation Peugeot 3008 underwent a mid-cycle redesign for the 2021 model year. It got a revamped look and other tweaks, and that means that the next-generation model is the one to follow. The first spy shots show testing of a very early development vehicle, and it doesn’t look like a crossover at the moment.
We don’t know what the next Peugeot 3008 will look like because the automaker hid it under the body of the Citroen C5 Aircross. The Citroen doesn’t match the Peugeot model either, with the rear doors looking slightly shorter than those on the C5. The chrome is intermittent and the black trim around the rear window is quite noticeable. The Citroen-bodied Peugeot can also go higher on wheels than the standard Aircross.

The Peugeot 3008 may grow in size compared to the previous model, but it won’t be a substantial change. This will translate into more cargo and passenger space while providing some breathing room to the smaller 2008 crossover in the Peugeot lineup. The new generation should come with a thoroughly updated interior filled with all the latest technology and comforts.
The redesigned crossover is too early in its development to know its powertrain setup. However, we expect Peugeot to offer it in gas, mild-hybrid, plug-in hybrid and all-electric configurations. The current generation top-tier 3008 hybrid with all-wheel drive pumps out 300 horsepower (223 kilowatts) and 384 pound-feet (520 Newton-meters) of torque. The whole range can debut at the same time.
The next-generation Peugeot 3008 is in its earliest stages of development, and we don’t expect it to debut until next year. We’ll probably see a test vehicle with a crossover production body out testing later this year, and we think the automaker will hide it under a lot of camouflage and cladding to hide the new styling.
The Peugeot 3008 is a stylish crossover inside and out, making it a popular choice in a bustling segment. The design of the next-generation model will be critical to its success, so don’t expect Peugeot to reveal it until it’s ready.
