PEUGEOT 5008 HYBRID GT PREMIUM

  By ,

Now in its third generation, the ”all-new” Peugeot 5008 was launched early 2024, but took a while to get here. Based on the Stellantis group’s STLA Medium platform, it is essentially a stretched version of the smaller 3008. Cast your mind back and you may recall this car originally came with a turbo petrol or turbo diesel engine. Back in 2013 it was described as a people mover, presumably because it offered seven seats. Now a large SUV, the latest version is a hybrid and has seven seats too. There’s… Read more

PEUGEOT 3008 GT – PRICE IS THE HURDLE

  By ,

Peugeot’s latest 3008 mid-sized SUV is not just stylish, it’s a veritable work of automotive art. Finished in gleaming Obsession Blue (looks green guys) the styling is just a preamble to what you will find inside. The long, curved free-standing infotainment screen reminds us of a computer monitor, but that’s okay because in reality that is of course what it is. A centre console, shaped like a hockey stick, angles away from the driver, topped by a string of quick access buttons that remain just within reach. The surface of… Read more

PEUGEOT 2008 GT ROAD TEST

  By ,

In the absence of the 208 hatch, the 2008 has become by default the baby of the Peugeot range. But it’s a baby that the French company can justifiably be proud of, at once stylish, fun to drive and technologically advanced. Even better, it uses very little fuel. What’s not to like? Read on. STYLING The 2008 is a genuine work of automotive art. The detail that has gone into the design is amazing with a black roof, concave radiator grille, sculpted front fascia and sharp plunging LED lights. Look… Read more

PEUGEOT 508 GT SPORTSWAGON PLUG-IN HYBRID

  By ,

The Peugeot 508 has been on sale in Australia since July 2011. A mid-sized sedan or station wagon, it fitted into the space between the smaller 407 and larger 607, effectively replacing both cars.

The previous petrol-only variants were dropped from the range at the end of 2022 leaving just the more-expensive PHEVs. STYLING As has been the case throughout two body styles are… Read more

Wow. Peugeot has transformed the mid-sized 3008 into an electric coupe and it’s ready to knock your sock off.

PEUGEOT 2008 2013 – 2022

  By ,

  Peugeot 2008 is a small crossover SUV based on the Peugeot 208 hatchback. It arrived in  Australia in 2013 and offered an interesting alternative to vehicles that chiefly came from  Asian countries.    It is relatively conservative in its style, unlike that of what is probably its closest competitor,  the Renault Captur which, of course, is also from France.    Interior space is good for a wagon of this size, though it’s better suited to couples with pre- teen children rather than four adults. Changes to the seat design… Read more

PLUG-IN PACK FOR PEUGEOT 408 FASTBACK

  By ,

Peugeot is producing some of the most stylish cars available and the 408 Fastback is one of them. Arriving later this year, it follows close on the heels of the Citroen C5 X with which it shares a platform. The 408 also shared the same headlights, taillights, and dashboard design as the third- generation 308, which was developed alongside it. Described as a coupe crossover, the fastback design cuts an eye-catching silhouette. The 408 will be offered as a single powerful plug-in hybrid version in Australia. The hybrid petrol-electric powertrain… Read more
