The PEUGEOT 3008 SUV features cutting-edge technology including the innovative PEUGEOT i-Cockpit®, 12.3-inch head-up digital instrument display and 8.0-inch capacitive touchscreen with Mirror Screen® functionality, comprising of Android Auto™ and Apple CarPlay™.

Judges praised the PEUGEOT 3008 SUV as a practical family car, with class leading levels of technology, a range of efficient petrol and diesel engines, engaging driving dynamics and stylish design in an affordable package.

James Batchelor, Editor-at-Large and Head of Motoring Video at Carbuyer, said: "At the vanguard of an impressive new wave of PEUGEOT models, the 3008 SUV has a neat design that really delivers for families. We still think its interior is the best in class, and the fact the 3008 SUV is fun to drive is the icing on the cake. A good mix of engines broaden its appeal further and make it another repeat winner."

Managing Director of PEUGEOT UK, David Peel, said: “To be recognised once again by Carbuyer with the ‘Best Medium SUV’ award is a great honour. This is now the fourth year running the PEUGEOT 3008 SUV has taken home this award, which goes some way to show the model’s enduring popularity and ability to impress, despite a host of new rivals entering showrooms.

“In the coming year we will be undergoing a new electrification strategy which will also include the new PEUGEOT 3008 SUV GT HYBRID4. We are all incredibly excited to see what the next year brings for PEUGEOT, and the continued recognition from Carbuyer fills us with confidence that we will be continuing to meet and exceed the needs of drivers.”

The PEUGEOT 3008 SUV GT HYBRID4 will be one of several electrified vehicles PEUGEOT will be introducing as part of a plan to provide a fully electrified model range by 2023. The all-new PEUGEOT e-208 will be the first electric model for UK drivers to get behind the wheel of from January 2020.
