Peugeot 3008 SUV ?

[root]

Anyone seen or test driven the new Peugeot 3008 SUV?
I got an SMS from the dealer to come try it out. Will try to go check it out. It's a first time a French crossover or SUV is coming (well, I guess the Renault came but without much success).





Although this looks like a large hatchback, they claim its got some good traction for off-road (not Emirati off-roading, but your gravel/sand parking I guess).

The interesting salient feature for me is that its a 1.6 liter engine with 240 Nm, 156 bhp engine! With rising fuel prices over here too, it might not be that bad of a choice.

yeah, the looks are not that great!

They should get a designer from Kia or Hyundai - their new line of vehicles look extremely sleek!

Doesn't look like a SUV to me it looks more like a MPV to me! Looks good though despite it's compact size hopefully it can drive like an SUV.
