Driver Power is the UK’s largest and most in-depth automotive customer satisfaction survey, with participation from more than 80,000 UK car owners. The owners ranked the Peugeot 3008 SUV as the best-performing Mid-Size SUV in five of the nine Driver Power judging categories: Exterior; Practicality & Boot Space; Ride & Handling; Safety Features and Reliability & Build Quality.
The victory did not stop there, as the 3008 SUV was rated as the best vehicle in the ‘Exterior’ category and the ‘Safety Feature’ category, across all of the vehicle classes.
Since it launched in late 2016, the 3008 SUV has been a huge success for the Peugeot brand, with 350,000 sold worldwide and 23,000 in the UK. It demonstrates the latest technology with the state-of-the-art Peugeot i-Cockpit, which offers a more intuitive and engaging driving experience with a compact multi-function steering wheel, 12.3-inch head-up digital instrument display and 8-inch capacitive touchscreen with Mirror Screen functionality, comprising: Android Auto, Apple CarPlay and Mirror Link.
In addition, the 3008 SUV has a five star NCAP safety rating and offers a host of safety features as standard on all trim levels, including: AEBS – Automatic Emergency Braking System, CDS – Dynamic Stability Control and ASR – Electronic Anti-skid System and a Driver Attention Alert System.
Steve Fowler, editor-in-chief of Auto Express and Carbuyer said: ‘This is a fantastic result for Peugeot and the 3008 SUV. It’s a car that has already won multiple awards from both Auto Express and Carbuyer, and now owners have confirmed what we’ve been saying all along – it’s a great car that’s really satisfying to own.’
David Peel, managing director at Peugeot UK, said: ‘It is an outstanding achievement for the 3008 SUV to have won gold in the Car of the Year and Mid-Size SUV categories in the
UK’s largest car satisfaction survey. With the addition of these two accolades, the 3008 SUV has now won an incredible 45 awards globally since launch.’
‘In a segment with fierce competition, these accolades are especially meaningful as they are decided by our valued customers and are a real testament to the hard work and innovation of our talented teams of designers and engineers. I’d like to thank Auto Express and the entire Driver Power team for their support and hard work in bringing such a valuable survey to the industry.’
