This image of a “facelifted” Peugeot 3008 has been circulating in China, showing an undisguised 3008 wearing Peugeot’s new family face. Not sure where it’s from and where it’s heading, but we won’t be surprised if this turns out to be real – the 3008 has been around since 2009 (launched here in June 2010) and could be due for a mid-life refresh.
This new face, which the world first saw two years ago on the SR1 concept, has since been repeated on various concept cars (HR1 from Paris 2010, HX1 from Frankfurt 2011, SXC from Shanghai 2011, Urban Crossover from Beijing 2012) and production models such as the 508 and 301. It replaces the marque’s previous trademark “feline face” with the gaping mouth.
The Peugeot 3008 participated in our mega SUV shootout – click here to see how it fared against rivals from the Far East.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
The old car looks better…the new car plain boring, could be mistaken for SUV from China
actually, the current car can be described as distinctive while the facelift looks more acceptable to the general public.
haha i am the first post.
this are great look.
i prefer this new look then older.
more Peugeot family face .
looks much better n sportier, esp. the removal of the black color abs plastic below headlamps which enhanced the style aesthetically .
Nice one… i like :) Hopefully the “strawberry tailights” will be gone too!
Seems like peugeot’s changing its face. The previous generation all had the big grin on its face. The new ones all inherited the 508’s front grille design que.
it looks more elegant i like it though i just got used to the current face
Sorry, Still ugly.
With a design like that its just difficult :)
Decent car though …
more like an all new model than a facelift. notice the difference in A-pillar & C-pillar curves?
i wonder if peugeot still make reliable SUVs. i remember watching Amazing Race Asia – contestant driving a sponsored 3008 to Batu Caves and the car suddenly broke down middle of the road. haha.
That looks more like 4008 which is on sale in NZ and Aus
new one looks better!!
Don’t think it’s a peugeot. look carefully. windows profile totally different to be part of facelift exercise. Grille details has no articulated design or character. I think its another China copycat. CRVs, audi, camry, accord etc have copycats in China. Korean and japanese used to copycats europeans car, as part of the learning curve till they found their own design directions. In this case, they’re jumping to a new bandwagon for crossover market.
is this really the facelifted 3008 or some other model? coz the rear quarter window shape is different from the 3008
yup, i noticed the opera window shape too. perhaps they changed the shape to give the car a different new side profile. i do prefer the new look though… if it really is the refreshed 3008.
