I
got my hands on a facelifted Peugeot 3008 SUV recently. This car, was
a car that in my opinion truly needed a facelift. When it first came
out back in 2009 I have to say that it was one ugly looking crossover vehicle. It was the automotive equivalent of a hippopotamus
to me. But that being said, it was successful for Peugeot and won
some awards for them too. They sold over 500,000 units of the
crossover that really combines a large hatchback, a mini MPV and a
SUV together.
But
now things are a little better. In 2014 Peugeot facelifted the 3008.
It gets a new front end which now sports the current Peugeot family
looks and looks more like the 508, 5008 and the new 308. The front
grille is no longer an extremely large smiley grille. There are new
headlights that have LED daytime running lights up front and a new
LED rear light cluster too. The facelifted 3008 looks a little more
sleeker and is definitely more pleasing to look at in my eyes. It
still is a little dumpy looking as it has to pull out from its bag of
tricks interior space, SUV height and other practical needs yet still
look decent. So it does have some awkwardness if you look at it at
some angles. But this facelifted 3008 is so much better than before.
Less opinion dividing than the previous version. So in terms of
looks, I could live with this facelifted 3008 for a while.
