Peugeot 3008

Peugeot 3008This is another case of car release shortly after the “accidental” exposure of some pictures on the Internet. The new 3008 brings a very similar solution to RCZ’s because the idea is actually the same: apply some minor updates to boost the sales at this second half of their lifecycle, leaving the more expensive changes to their next generations or successors, which can be expected only in four or five years. Meanwhile, Peugeot’s mid-size crossover still excels on what has always distinguished it from all the crossovers of nowadays.

This facelift is signed by the Chinese joint-venture Dongfeng-Peugeot, which will restrict some of the changes to that market. However, it’s highly expected that the other markets will also receive this excellent visual result. Once again, this restyling was successful because it managed to update the car, instead of discharacterizing it with heavy changes in some parts and maintaining others. It’s impressive to notice how the French automaker’s latest visual identity didn’t take much effort to be applied at 3008. The air intake was replaced by a smaller and more horizontal one, with chrome lines and placed between the brand logo and the license plate. The fog lights became visually separated and received a bigger area, with a chrome boomerang-shaped detail that reminds 308’s LEDs row, while the hood received stronger lines. But the biggest compliments go to doing all that without touching the headlights: the updates were so well-made that those parts didn’t need any change: in fact, they fit the new look even with it being based on horizontal elements, while the original one used vertical bigger items. Besides that, there are only new wheels and a roof rack, without any changes to the rear. An unusual restyling went to the third side window, behind the back doors: they received a more elegant design, with bigger size at the lower portion to improve visibility.

Peugeot 3008However, mentioning that a successful facelift only updates the car means 3008 is still a crossover with “a hint” of minivan, which makes it very different from its SUV-inspired rivals. The cabin has plenty of space for five passengers, with a beautiful central console and lots of the current trends, such as the big touchscreen for the GPS navigation and to control several car functions. The 2013 update brought new color options and external LED daylights, but internally there’s only a new sound system, redesigned steering wheel and the optional parking cameras and ventilated seats. This car will be sold in China always with front traction and automatic six-speed transmission, whether with the 147-hp 2.0 or the 163-hp 1.6 THP. The second option composes the most expensive version, which is imported from France for 240.000 RMB. This car will make its official debut at the next Guangzhou Motor Show.

Peugeot 3008 2013

Peugeot 3008Primeiro a usar o 1.6 THP no Brasil, o 3008 agora recebeu as mesmas melhorias em alguns componentes internos do motor para ganhar 9 cv, totalizando os 165 cv a 6000 rpm que lhe igualam à versão Griffe THP do sedã 408 e ao cupê RCZ, que compartilham o propulsor no país. O torque é de 24,5 kgfm a partir das 1400 rpm, sempre com câmbio automático de seis marchas. O crossover vem da França e seus preços já seguem o novo IPI, ficando em R$ 91.900 para a versão de entrada Allure e R$ 99.900 para a de topo, Griffe.

Peugeot 3008

Peugeot 3008 Apresentado no último Salão do Automóvel, o belo crossover finalmente desembarca no Brasil, importado da França. Sinal dos tempos modernos, o 3008 é mais um SUV lançado por uma marca que até pouco tempo atrás ninguém esperaria que fizesse tal coisa. Caso da Porsche com o Cayenne, BMW com o X5 e da Volkswagen com o Touareg, mas todos estes em maiores proporções.

O exterior do 3008 é a maior identificação da sua marca. A frente consegue ter os grandes faróis felinos e agressivos com a grade enorme mesmo sem deixar de lado o tamanho maior de um carro desse tipo. Já suas laterais com detalhes cromados inspiram modernidade sem recorrer a revoluções, enquanto a traseira traz arroubos de esportividade, notados nas lanternas de formato irregular e na tampa do porta-malas em duas partes.

A Peugeot diz-se ter inspirado em um avião ao fazer o painel do 3008, e isso se nota no estilo extravagante do console central, em que se destacam os porta-objetos e o local da alavanca do câmbio. De resto, ele apresenta recursos típicos das minivans, como o porta-malas regulável, em que o piso do compartimento pode ser fixado em duas alturas diferentes ou retirado, para variar a capacidade de carga coberta. Sob o capô ele traz um 1.6 turbo THP, que produz impressionantes 156 cv e 24 kgfm, prova de que a tendência do downsizing definitivamente vai chegar um dia a todos os carros.

O modelo vem em duas versões. A básica Allure sai por R$ 79.900, e já traz computador de bordo, direção eletro-hidráulica, faróis de neblina, sistema de som multimídia, rodas de 17 polegadas e retrovisores elétricos. Já a top Griffe sai por R$ 86.900 e adiciona bancos de couro com aquecedor, sensores de chuva e crepuscular, ar-condicionado bizona, retrovisor anti-ofuscamento e freio de estacionamento elétrico, entre outros.
