I've driven quite a few cars, and people often ask me if the Peugeot 3008 counts as an SUV. I definitely think it does. It's classified by the market as a compact SUV, especially the current third-generation model, which features a taller and more robust body design with increased ground clearance of about 180 mm, improving visibility. The space is practical too, comfortably seating five people, and the trunk easily accommodates camping gear. The driving experience is as smooth as a sedan but more stable than a typical hatchback. Fuel consumption is reasonable, averaging just over 7 liters per 100 km in the city. Maintenance isn't too expensive, and parts are easy to find. A friend who drives a Volkswagen Tiguan says the 3008 is quite similar but with more unique French design. Overall, as an SUV, it's suitable for city life with a bit of adventure, and most buyers appreciate its versatility and safety. I also love its clever interior storage compartments, and the easy access makes it a hit with my family.
